Mom and I were leveling up our morning routine by taking our breakfast to the outside patio. We would now eat while listening to the waves and breathing in the Atlantic air. The harsh New York winter was melting away from our memories with every absorbed ray of sunshine. Our St. Augustine itinerary for the day was Castillo de San Marcos, historic downtown, and finally a ride out to the mythic Foun Read on...
We have an early start this morning – not a big deal for daughter no 1 and me, as our body clocks havent adjusted to the 8 hour time difference and we are up and raring to go by 5.30 am. When the kids were little and recently arrived in the US, I used to take them to Walmart in the middle of the night as it was the only place open where they could run around and let off steam until the rest of A Read on...
A trip closer to home today and an early start. Anthony was our guide and at 8am the London streets around Westminster were busy with people going to work by bus, cycle or walking.
We are all familiar with seeing Big Ben shrouded in what Anthony called its ‘Metal Jacket and now we also have the Houses of Parliament under a massive refurbishment. The refurbishment due to cost £4bn & estimated t Read on...
Wrexham a city ? I dont think so . We are too small to be a city without enough infrastructure . Wrexham city of Culture bid for 2025? Well maybe . That is different and many in the town cannot see the difference. City of Culture has now taken on a new meaning . You dont have to be a city. You can be a town, a village or an area which has opened up attempts to gain that title from Conway County Bo Read on...
Today was about a 22 kilometer trip, from Navarrete to Azofra. We packed our stuff, left our bag and keys to the apartment at the office, and we were on our way. We were too early for breakfast, so we just started walking. Just on the outskirts of town, we passed the cemetery, apparently a rather old one. The first town today was Ventosa, about 6 kilometers from Navarrete. At about 9am, we reached Read on...
What an adventure we had today. First stop was at Woolies again to pick up some more lunch ingredients and then we headed over to Coffin Bay NP for the day. We drove straight through the town of Coffin Bay and into the national park which may have been a mistake as there are no toilets near the entrance to the park and the toilets at Almonta Beach were not accessible due to renovation works!

Prachtige camperplaats, ruim, alles automatisch. Enkel een kredietkaart nodig. Wel gratis traag internet.
Buiten alle verwachting om, nog plaats zat. We zitten tenslotte in volle hoogseizoen. Coronaeffect waarschijnlijk. Terrassen in de omgeving blijven meestal ook leeg. Wel wandelaars en fietsers.
Gisteren donderdag, prachtig weer. We namen een rustdag, niksen en lazen ons dik boek in de schadu Read on...
The last place we stayed was another Heritance hotel, located south of Colombo in Ahungalla, after another beautiful drive through the mountains and jungle. This was intended to be more of a beach location and the least expensive hotel of our trip. It showed, but it was still nice! It seems mostly like it is probably a party place in normal times. They were trying to get us to join beach volleybal Read on...
Road trip 2022 kicked off with us driving to the United States border, crossing at Coburn Gore. This would be the first time I would be entering the USA since the pandemic began. From there we found a way to Nataris Campground for our first night. The sky was overcast with clouds, but no rain was falling yet. We set up camp and boiled some water to eat a few packets of ramen noodles. Not the healt Read on...
Things were not looking good for a photography week, although the weather in London is not necessarily a reflection of the weather in the islands of Scotland. I left the airport hotel and it was pouring with rain. It was about a 10 minute walk from the hotel to London City Airport and I was sweaty and wet when I got there. Great, Im going to have to spend the rest of the day sitting in wet clothes Read on...
