Our cottage in Klamath, CA was a delightful place to stay. The owners left fresh eggs, bagels, yogurt, coffee, tea, jelly, juice.everything you could want for breakfast. Not all Airbnb owners are that thoughtful. We were out in the country so this was very much appreciated
As we were pulling out to leave, we saw a down the street, waving. We stopped and gas a great conversation with our inner, Sa Read on...

Iceland is famous for its waterfalls so we thought wed give them a red hot (more on that later) go in one day (other than yesterdays taster at Gulfoss). Packed up and bade our farewells to Depill and the pregnant mares before hitting the road headed to Seljalandsfoss, famous because of its beauty and because you can walk right underneath it, and get a little wet.

Set off early to get to our next destination as it was a 3 hour drive. We said out goodbyes to the hosts and German guests and hit the road. The drive started out the same as it had been on all our other trips, on the wide open super nice toll roads, hearing the beep of a fare every so often. $0.60 here, $0.50 there... Beep. It then turned into a drive through the Portuguese country side on smalle Read on...
Started out from our motel just after 8am.

In short, we can say that it is an art gallery. That gives you an idea of what it is. This place is created and run by a man named Kenneth Nielsen. When he retired he realised that he had a lot of time on his hands and plenty of space in his garden around his home. He deci Read on...
We left our ride today until this afternoon for the chance of better weather. We got glorious sunshine but also got some very strong cold winds. We did stay dry, so thats a bonus.
From home it was Chatburn, West Bradford, Waddington, Bashall Barn, some looping round the TT triangle and Great Mitton and then home.
Our virtual journey would be leaving Beziers and heading south west on small roads Read on...
