| 29th September 2008 Anne and Paul | Happy Birthday - From: Siena 26 Sept Dear Geoff and Sue Happy Birthday Geoff and welcome to the 55+ world although you got there a little bit early thanks to Kevin 07! Your blogs are a real highlight and such fun to read. Coffee in Manuka will be so boring after your experiences! Thank goodness you got back on the #5 bus but it doesn't sound as if you have made too many blunders along the way considering the travels you have undertaken. I look forward to hearing about Pais and your adventures on the Somme. Travel well and continue to have the time of your lives Anne |

| 20th September 2008 the notty travellers | Nice to hear from you - From: Venice September 17 Hi Tim, Prego!! We are also getting a bit tired doing the trip but it is absolutely fabulous!! every town-city we go to the sights get better. Read the blog tomorrow - we have started exploring Rome and just popped into the Basilica in Piazza Novona - absolutely overwhelming with the artwork and the statuary!! Just bought a Rome pass so its all on for young and old!! All the best to you and all the old work mates - we need to get together for a cuppa when we get back in a few weeks. Cheers, Geoff |

| 15th September 2008 Chris | Greekiness! - From: Katakolon, Greece Hi guys, how are you finding Greece? The weather here has taken a sharp turn towards summer, but who knows if it will last. Doing ok here, wish I was on holiday too though! |
| 26th August 2008 Chris | Photos - From: Edinburgh Glad to see you made it. It looks like you have made it into some kind of aspect ratio space warp though :) Is that because the travelblog is forcing the aspect? Also I notice some of the outdoors shots are a bit overexposed (the sky is glowing, and the castle ramparts etc look a bit washed out). Make sure the exposure compensation is set to about -0.7 or -1.0 (under-exposed). The D40 apparently tends to overexpose. You can always lighten an underexposed photo, but if it gets overexposed you will lose colour detail. Also a tip, if the foreground (those goofy looking tourists) are more a lot more darkly lit than the background (eg. in shadow or bright background), you can use the onboard flash to tweak the light level. You may have to fiddle the exposure a bit to get it to look right.. Keep us posted. Chris. |
