I know we are in Crediton but we walked to the middle of nowhere and were taxied here. The Contours people we walk with had the directions mixed up, very unusual for them) and when I double checked with a local even she said ‘youre in the middle of nowhere so it‘s been officially confirmed. We waited 35 minutes and only saw 3 people in that time so it certainly wasnt Trafalgar Square!

Time for another trip – this time to Central America, first stop Costa Rica. Its the first time weve travelled with British Airways for many years. And theres a reason for that. Its not a great start, with a last minute change from an 11.30 to a 9 am departure. So we decided to travel up to Gatwick the night before and stay at the less than celubrious White House Hotel in an executive room, whic Read on...
Took a walk around the whole Lake and hiked up to Mala Osojnica (or maybe Ojstrica). Met a lovely Victorian couple and did the walk with them. We all got lost, but made it in the end. Great walk, bit slippery, awesome views.
Next stop, rowing a Pletna boat (€20) to the island, well Graham did, Ella tried (we couldve been a while) and then our hero rower was Kirsten. Kirsten wasnt very good at i Read on...
A coolish morning ( relatively speaking) . The staff have jumpers on. We had breakfast, paid our drinks tab and then watched Gary put out feed for the birds. 4 Brolgas came in, a whistling kite and a kingfisher. We said our goodbyes and set off.
Our first stop was Musgrave. the site of an Old Telegraph Station. The only one that has been preserved.
Gravel road to Coen - good condition as it had Read on...
If youre reading this in the future do you remember Covid19? Well because of it the Canadian/American borders are closed to non essential traffic so I have to take the long way around Lake Superior adding many hours and kilometres to the trip. That means driving up through cottage country north of Toronto on a long weekend and since its 800Km from home to Sault Ste. Marie I decided to break it ove Read on...

Today I left England for Norway and I knew it was going to be cold I was just unsure how cold. The weather report said avg of -3℃ so thats not bad I can deal. Landed and everyone was pulling jackets and scarves and hats out of their bags. Reminded me of people from when it hits 50℉ just layer upon layer. So I was a bit worried I under planned for the cold with only my leather jacket and hat. Read on...
We started slightly after 8.00 and arrived 9 hours and 100 km later in Lagos. We stopped twice, for coffee and lunch and battery charging for at least 1.5 hours. No real rush.
The road was diverse: regular roads and rocky/sandy roads and paths. On more than one occasion, we had to get off our bikes and walk some distance which is not pleasant with heavy bikes.
I slipped and fell on 2 occasions, Read on...
Why Not? I think it is one of the great American cities. It is much more manageable than NYC, and certainly less expansive than Los Angeles. But the options for what to see and do seem limitless. I may have told you that my parents lived here during the end of World War 2. They were allowed to leave the Relocation Center in Gila, Arizona if they went east and worked in factories that supported the Read on...
According to in the campground office, this is the 2183rd day of our Montana property hunt. Thats almost six years weve been here, if my math is correct, though some people are certain that the aliens have messed with the timeline, and that it may be much longer than that. Were having to search farther and further afield, still looking for that perfect place to land. This morning were heading nort Read on...
