20 countries not bad going Bob your intinerary next year looks good too. Especially the Wales bit , I have to be biased dont I :) Who knows we may meet up and finally put faces to the blogs.
holiday hi Pauline we are both fine how are you and garry . It is hot here and we have just cracked our windscreen . Typical luck the stone had to hit us . We are here for another two weeks xx
I'm jealous I'm enjoying your blog Jen. I know part of the route you've taken through France and a little of the route around the Costas (not the coffee shops), albeit from 40 years ago! It may have changed slightly since then. Keep it up because I'm following you on Google Maps. Where's your ultimate destination and by what route do you return?
our route After Blackpool on Sea we head for Teruel tomorrow, followed by Valencia, Cuenca, Toledo to get Glenn a sword to skewer me with :) Consuegra to see the windmills, Baeza, Cordoba, Seville, Huelva to see replicas of Columbus' ships . From there to Tarifa so we can wave at Africa , Granada not the studios Roy :) Tabarnas where the Spaghetti westerns were filmed and up the coast before heading home via Zaragoza, Albi, ( visiting a few bastide towns on the way), Figeac, Poitiers , Tours and home . Will I want to come back to clay cross and work ???? I dont think so , Thanks for the nice comments I have been blogging virtually ever holiday for the last few years but this is the first time I have linked them to FB
colliure What a lovely place - we were delighted with it, charming quietish and a lovely start to the holiday . Thanks for the comments . Travelblog has been a good source of ideas for places to visit . Wonderful site and some lovely fellow bloggers .
Paris is an amazing city Failed GPS is never a good thing but your outcome was good. We love waking up to the chirping birds and cicadas. Have a wonderful trip.
The Prisoner As a teenager, "The Prisoner" was one of my favorite shows. And yes, I had a bit of a crush on Patrick McGoohan. Does the present day Portmeirion retain any of the features from the TV show?
patrick McGoohan Oh yes I had a crush on him too and loved the Mini Mokes they used around the village. Strangely it doesnt really hit you in the face that the Prisoner was set there. Some references but not that much. But when you walk round if you knew the programme you recognise the shops, the houses, the beach with the big white balloons floating along the seashore waiting to chase and bounce and catch Patrick as he ran for freedom. Wonderful programme - never did understand it but loved it nevertheless Happy Christmas .
A 70 something who feels that the world is her lobster, that life is worth living and that you only get one shot at it . A whole new world opened up since we bought Suzy. A different view out of the window every day and the chance to see life in all its glory. And then there is Sion our travelling companion. A knowledgeable sheep who with his Sheep Book of Facts keeps us on our toes. He and his bestest, bestest friend Woolly Mammoth search the world for latrines, roofs and manhole covers. What more could you want out of life?
