Pelican in flight The only La Paz I know is the capital of Bolivia. Did not know it was also a beach playground in Mexico! I love pelicans and even did a blog of days I spent with them in Oz a few Christmases ago. On Oz they are white and this beauty is brown winged. This cracker photo I will post in "Birds of a Feather" thread in the Photography Forum. Check it out.
Lake Punakaki We were lucky the day we visited lake Punakaki: it was fine weather and the lake was a glorious turquoise. We also got to see the glacier at the end of the valley near the visitor center which was spectacular. Loads of love to you both. Xxxxx
Patagonia It is clear from your pics that you are discovering the staggering beauty of Patagonia. El Calafate with Perito Merino Glacier and El Chalten with the Fitzroy Ranges speak for themselves. Patagonian lamb is to die for. You call it a roadtrip. Is it self drive or otherwise?
Self drive We rented a car in El Calafate and drove to El Chalten, walked for 4 hours then drove back. The road is paved and straight with minimal traffic.
Moab Sound like you're having a great trip. Jim and I spent some time in Moab several years ago and really enjoyed the scenery and national parks. Each one is quite different and well worth the visit. On our many trips to Palm Springs we have visited most of the national parks in Utah as well as the Grand Canyon and Sedona in Arizona. Each is different but so interesting. Part of the fun of driving through that area is exploring all the different parks and small towns along the way. Good to hear from you.
Hello from NZ Looks like you are having a wonderful trip. We have just arrived in NZ to watch the 3 Lions/All Black tests. Another tick on Mike's bucket list. Will definitely be a lot colder than where you are! XX Hilary
Holiday 2017 Good to see you are back on holiday and sailing too. You are looking well and you seem to have a 'useful' second mate with you.
Kind regards
Final steps Congratulations - your blog reminds me that we have lots of Roman sites to inspire us. Your walk sounded wonderful and you seemed to have had decent weather too. Hope you are now ready to plan the next one. All the very best from us both
High House Brewery We visited the High House Brewery when staying in Northumberland a few years back. Enjoyed a look round the brewery itself (though a new brewery so not as interesting as some I have visited) and sampled several of their beers. Impressed. I also remember that the food there was good - we noticed that some people came just to eat there! Glad you enjoyed it.
