Dufferin Islands is a quiet and secluded area not far from Horseshoe Falls and contains several small islands connected by bridges and footpaths. These islands are teeming with life As we walked along the roadway we heard how the area Read on...
Time to move on and leave Suffolk for Norfolk, not many miles up the road. Back on the A12, a road which seems to have taken us everywhere in Suffolk and heading north until we came to Burgh Castle on the outskirts of Great Yarmouth.

Im all for catching a bus to the trailhead, but daughter no 1 will not be persuaded; we are going to walk the whole way.

I also put a bunch of water in the holding tank so I didnt have to connect a water hose at my new location. Its supposed Read on...
Heute Morgen acht Uhr, ich ziehe die Vorhnge zurck und was sehen meine noch verschlafenen Augen, es regnet in Strmen! ?.
