Vado spesso in questo bellissimo parco centrale, ora chiamato giardino scott o lo SCOTTO cos chiamato dai pisani.
un parco molto pulito, verde e ben tenuto. Ha atmosfera accogliente e rilassante. Mi piace andare al giardino per passeggiare, e per fare jogging.
Ci sono molte panchine e tavolini al sole e allombra, dove mi piace studiare allaperto. Sopra i tavoli ci sono gazebi in legno e adoro l Read on...
We were up early as we wanted to travel a good distance today. The guys staying in the motel unit next to ours were packing all their gear into their pickup and all dressed in camo, ready or a days hunting....bear. Leaving here the temperature hovered between 5 degrees and not much over 7 for the first hour or so. After around 5 miles we our NEBDR route 3.
Some of the riding was single track/tra Read on...
Today is effectively the last day of our holiday, although in reality its all a bit of a as we need to be at the airport by 1.00pm. I took the opportunity for one last photography outing. Unfortunately, on the one occasion I picked a location that would not include the actual sunrise, it was when there was an amazing sunrise, but the opposite direction to the cityscape that I was aiming to photog Read on...

Alarm went off at 6am and after having had a pretty good sleep and figuring out how to turn the stupid shower on we went down for breakfast which they were actually charging non IHG members USD 20- each.
I had a light breakfast with some cereal bran with toast and strawberry jam with an interesting strawberry and banana yoghurt (Im not convinced they go well together ?). I asked for a coffee and Read on...
What is it about being home that makes you want to go away again? No sooner you settle down and think you dont want to travel again you change your mind . The merry go round of emotions of being home, wanting to go away and see other things than your own back yard begin again . It should have been a week of doing something . But the weather had snookered that one well and truly. It seemed to rain Read on...
Not much to blog about here either. The entire day was spent taking back the rental car and changing our flight. For the last 24 hours United kept texting and that severe weather was causing flight delays and cancelations. So, we just decided to go to the airport (had to take the car there anyway) and see if we could get a different flight.
It was a zoo, lines everywhere, the departure board was Read on...
Gabby the motorhome is parked up on a free aire near to Caerlaverock Castle . This is a bit of a novelty . As a country we are far behind Europe providing facilities for cheap or free overnight stops for motorhomes. We are still a caravan nation and campsites seem to be the order of the day . Not for us . We dont need the electricity nor do we need the facilities . This site with its hardstanding Read on...
Overnight at Pinchoa, I think the spelling is correct but it doesnt matter because Portuguese pronunciation is full of hard sounds, eow, tricks and traps. As long as I have my 2 words and then expresso and nata (those delicious Portuguese custard tarts) I will be OK.
Again the Burcher muesli was absent at breakfast so I had to make do with orange juice and sparkling wine. Well after 2 of those I Read on...
