What do you have to do to get something listed ? I wondered as I stood in the early morning sunshine . I was on my way for a swim before it got too hot to bother . Another day of Lockdown in Wales. Another day of freedom in England . The numbers of infections of Covid have dropped over the last few days . It is hard to know what that means anymore. I stood for a while and I was taken back to the s Read on...
Mon 6th we reluctantly packed up and headed south- we couldnt delay the inevitable any longer. We were aiming for Bladensburg NP, near Winton where we have stayed previously. This was a fairly long and uneventful drive and we arrived there just before dark, which was good as we needed daylight to recall where we camped last time. Luckily for us this had, just a few days before, been reopened sinc Read on...
We slept in a little due to the time change from the last week, so we werent riding until around 9am. Out of Fenton Georgia, our route took us immediately onto a winding country road past the local golf club which was in pristine condition. Manicured tees and fairways and a Mansion of a Clubhouse. It looked very upmarket for a country town.
This road took us through another forest interspersed wi Read on...
Todays trip was supposed to be yesterday and then tomorrow and was now today. After not getting home until nearly midnight last night (and then still having to upload blogs), the important thing was an early start today. So 7am it was.
Off to our usual office of Gamarjoba tours (the best) booked through Get Your Guide. Todays guide has been Sally who has been great, full of excitement with intere Read on...
So we meet Marianne at her hotel and set off for the start of the walk. The first day we have found the start with no issues or so we thought!! So walking along all we can hear are gun shots and not just one or two but loads and loads. We seemed to be walking towards the gun shots for an hour so we thought that the walk was making us human targets. We decided as there was so many gun shots that it Read on...
The site around Trafalgar Square had been a significant landmark since the 1200s. For centuries, distances measured from Charing Cross have served as location markers.
Nelsons Column is flanked by fountains designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens between 1937 and 1939 and guarded by four monumental bronze lions sculpted by Sir Edwin Landseer.
The empty plinth in the corner of the square, the Fourth Plint Read on...
Very pleased with this campsite and especially our pitch as, as it gets hotter, the shade provided by a couple of big tall trees is keeping us Forecast for the next few days is to get hotter and even hotter until we probably Hopefully a storm along before that happens ?.
Decided for first time to use campsite showers rather than the excellent ones in the van mainly because there is no grey waste Read on...
After our one night of executive, art deco luxury in the Midland Hotel in Morecambe, it was time to head further north. I reflect on the Morecambe visit with a bit of sadness. The majority of people I speak to look somewhat puzzled by the choice of destination. What the town has to offer is lost on most and there is a definite refusal to give it chance to bounce back. Bill Bryson said as such in o Read on...
We set sail for Volcanoes National Park today, and it was a bright and sunny day. We went due south of along route 11, passing by our favorite snorkeling area Two Step, stopping at a few buying some Kona Coffee (all beans are picked by hand, hence the price) from Mirandas, a Christian family business. We stopped at a black sand beach – evidently with very rounded lava, and saw our first 2 nene Read on...
The site was first settled by Wasti H. Stirling, an English missionary, in 1870. In 1884 an Argentine naval base was established, and in 1893, after the archipelago was partitioned between Argentina and Chile.
There is little agriculture on the island, but oil & gas reserves have been developed. Many textile and electronic firms have been established at Ro Grande.
Fishing activity centres on spi Read on...
