Our home for a week -- a castle! Really! A real castle -- large, cold, grey, old .... If one is looking for a 5-star hotel, this is not the place. However, if one is looking for a truly unique experience, this is it. The oldest part of the castle was built in the 12th century and has been added to over the succeeding centuries -- I don’t think they had home renovation shows back then. There’s even a place in the tower that houses a pagan fertility rock where women would go to ask the Gods to bless their union with children. I think Karen is booked for an appointment with the rock.

Okay! Enough already! The time spent before a trip is not always a favorite subject. People tell you about the wonderful time they had, but seldom talk about the days (weeks or months) spent getting everything together. Camping is one of those activities that everyone likes to talk about, but who ever sits enthralled as one recounts the packing and unpacking of smelly coolers, wet sleeping bags and muddy tents? Therefore, I will not go into details regarding the above 5 "P's". Instead, I will use one photo to bear witness to this unspeakable (albeit, necessary) activity that all successful travellers must engage in. Some of the photography equipment David is taking on our trip. Enough "said"! ... read more
