Before continuing on down to Florida, Mom and I headed downstairs for something we had been waiting for over a year for, an actual hot hotel breakfast served in a dining room. It wasnt quite the normal walk around serve yourself buffet experience, but it still was much There was a velvet rope between us and the buffet. You told the server what you wanted and then she loaded up your tray for you. L Read on...
We left Woodsville in Vermont after stopping at a Walmart to get a couple of supplies and then a diner breakfast. We have noticed that although temperatures are cool in the mornings & evenings but getting 18 and 19 occasionally during the day.
Riding out of Woodsville we saw the 2 young guys we had met yesterday riding the other way? After a few more miles we then linked up with these guys riding Read on...
Here we go on an adventure in Ireland cycling around the northern half of the enchanted island of Ireland. This tour starts off in Dublin, where we arrived by ferry this afternoon in heavy rain, but what did we expect in the Emerald Isle? After locking the bikes securely in the Q car park we checked in at the Gresham Hotel, which is a really nice hotel on OConnell St Upper. We were checked in by t Read on...
Im having a nightmare, but its OK, Ive woken up. So it still feels like a nightmare, only worse. I blame the pizza. I‘m still having visions of pizza, with meat and cheese, so much meat and greasy cheese, and its burnt. Why did I eat it I think. The rest of the day is a nausea filled blur, spent half in bed and half in, well, another room. The highlight is back after buying half the pharmacy - Read on...
I actually slept until nine this morning. Not straight through but I kept falling back to sleep. Its been about eight a.m. most days that I didnt intentionally get up early to move on to the next destination. Yoghurt with raspberries and nuts and then a bacon sandwich chaser got the day going. I finally remembered to put the one gallon gas can in my saddlebag just in case. I also carry a five gall Read on...
Today was our second day trip and it started at 7am with a very than yesterday, the guide was more of a driver than guide. Apparently he has been a truck driver in Coventry, they must have given a collective sigh of relief when he left. There were only five tourists, so we were in a six seater car, one guy was in the front (Oleg), plus a couple who live in Dubai, the lady, Darli is from Burma and Read on...
It was only 12 months ago, that I would have instinctively booked some aeroplane tickets for our usual autumn jaunt. Last year, we were wandering around the boulevards of Lviv and enjoying the Indian summer. I was eagerly awaiting my attendance at the Lviv derby to add to collection of Eastern European footballing obscurities. My spies in Moscow tell me that the weather is once again unseasonably Read on...
It rained for 1 hour between am, which was truly amazing because that is exactly what the weather report called for. It was right for once. I had planned on stopping to visit my niece Tanya and the kids, but plans changed. I really like the back roads route I had planned through RI and into CT so I decided to take the roads less traveled. I traveled Route 44, Route 6 and Route 66. It was awesome Read on...
¡Ol! Ole Miss, that is. While not my first time at the University of Mississippi, this weekend was the first time I spent more than 7 hours in the town of Oxford and the university. I hadnt even planned to this school this season, but when have things ever gone to plan for anyone in 2020? Still, I finally got to my first SEC game of the season, and it was a barnburner. So much for the SEC being k Read on...
Last year the Halloween decorations around Cusco were impressive. This year only a few shops, like this polleria, put up a few decorations. Throughout the pandemic, Cusco has been robbed of its usual enthusiasm for any excuse for a party.
Tourism is back! After over seven months of being shut down, Machu Picchu will open in one week! Even better, for the first two weeks, it will be free! Unfortun Read on...
