Time to travel again, this time just me and him. Back to the country of his birth – although he can’t remember it. Given storm Ciara is battering us at the moment, we can’t wait!
As you can understand the most important aspect of the trip is the camera equipment, which is sorted. As 👨🏻will never read this, he won’t find out that he’s taking this monster lens in his hand luggage until we pack – too late mate. I know its not a particularly interesting photo but its testing the new way of adding photos to the page, before I add something critical. Like you, I’m counting on the photos after this being far more interesting.
You can follow us by the map below as there will be a new marker for each new post. You can zoom in and move around to see more details on the map. The round markers are where we stay and the flags (⚑) are day trips. Any marker that is red has a post associated with it, so click on it. Details of day trips may be in the post associated with the place we stay.
These are the individual blog posts if you want to read them from here. They are dated and appear in reverse order i.e the newest first so if you come to this page when there is more than one post, scroll to the bottom to start at the beginning.
