Sharing a Pint With Dylan

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 | By vagabonds | Views [1163]

Making hay while the sun shines has a special significance in this rainy part of the UK and we took advantage of another wonderful day to visit some more local sites.  Tenby is a beach town of sorts, more like Riomaggiore on Italy's Cinque Terre ... Read more >

Tintern Abbey and St. Davids Cathedral

We often begin the day without a particular destination in mind but today was even more extreme.  We didn't know where we were at the end of the day!  With the nice weather for walkers, the Royal Welsh Show and Olympic football beginning in Cardiff, ... Read more >

The Royal Welsh Show

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 | By vagabonds | Views [1163]

We were probably the only couple in Wales that didn't know about the Royal Welsh Show but ike the proverbial "blind pig" we stumbled upon it.  I have never been to such an event but for Connie, veteran of many St. Joe County Fairs, it was ... Read more >

Sant Andreu

I thought it would be best to start with the area that we stayed in. We stayed in the north of the city in a quaint little place called Sant Andreu. The town itself is still very much an up-and-coming area, and the area surrounding our hotel ... Read more >

Wales Tales

The best way to deal with the Olympic hoopla seemed to be to get out of Dodge.  Or London, as it were.  So after a stop at Mildenhall AFB for a quick visit to the doctor, we drove into Wales where, surprisingly, it is sunny.  And very, very green. ... Read more >

The Final Bits

Thu, 19 Jul 2012 | By peterlee54 | Views [582]

My trip took me to 13 countries, of which 8 I had not visited before; this brings my visited EU countries up to a total of 14 (Norway is not an EU member) so I’m just over halfway in my quest to visit them all. I have been away for 107 nights, staying ... Read more >

Which objects would best represent your life?  Maybe a teddy bear, a bike, a wedding dress, and bronzed baby shoes perhaps?  The British Museum has selected a mere one hundred objects to tell the entire story of the human race.  And today ... Read more >

Don't Bank On It!

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 | By vagabonds | Views [1151]

It never seems to stop raining, only a minor annoyance to intrepid travelers like yours truly.  We splashed our way to Jersey Boys in Soho, visited the Tate Gallery and even viewed London from the "Eye," that giant ferris wheel on the Thames.... Read more >

Brisbane to London

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 | By vagabonds | Views [1489]

Four hours into the Etihad flight from Brisbane to London and we were only over Darwin!  Watching our progress on the in-flight GPS really drove home how big Australia is.  And how much of it we covered; about 20,000 km (12,500 miles) in four months.... Read more >
