Oh, Torremolinos!
Ahoy, Rob and Lee: I've been reading your blog, and "struggled with you" (fine writing, you) for your problem-laden passage from Morocco to Cordoba. Your description of the Costa del Sol reminded me of Eric Idle (of Monty Python fame, of course) in "The Holiday" sketch. You can check it out here for a good laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQODVsl5pFY Great all the way through, but his travel rant starts at the 2:30 mark. Happy travels!

Actually,...
It’s the Berber or Tifinagh alphabet used by the Tuareg people. I put it as my profile pic on FB!

Well done, Sir!
Hey, Rob: Congratulations on you and sister Julie finishing the Pennine Way! Sounds like you did a lot of slogging, but manage you did! (Peggy Lee is singing your song, now?) Your report crossing Hadrian's Wall Path, including Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum, brought back great memories. John and I hiked Malta and Gozo Island in 40 degree Celsius heat! Great place, and cheap, but alas, we are back to teaching in full swing. Has whetted my appetite for hiking Corsica/Sardegna. Funny, knowing it would be sunny and hot, I bought a broad-brimmed hat for this recent Malta trip. It had snaps on either side, so I could choose to utilize both, or "Go Aussie-style" with one side up. I was wondering if there was any kind of code for which side is raised, so we googled it, and learned that most everyone snaps up the left side, but you in Victoria, and your mates in Tasmania choose the right side. As those were my two favorite places in Oz, and in honor of you (of course!), I had the right side up! I'm back to work, but looking forward to that Argentinian eclipse in December, 2020. Southern Hemisphere, so it's practically in your "global neighborhood"?! Best wishes to you, Lee, and Julie. Carry on, Sir! MG

The ? ?
The luggage bus took me to Hawes via Ribblesdale Viaduct, Dent, and the lovely Yorkshire Dales. The driver was very nice and our host at Wensleydale BnB (an Aussie) was able to give me an ice pack after I had a quick walk down the street in the afternoon.

The Glorious Twelfth
August 12th -the start of the annual grouse shooting season. Particularly prized is the red grouse. People come from all over the world and it is the money from grouse shooting that goes towards maintaining the Moorlands.

Quiz 1 (Take 2)
1. English is a living language, it changes as it's users need and preferences change, and therefore there's nothing-ish wrong with anything in your prefixes or suffixes. 2. King Ludwig Walk, I assume (and yes I know what assuming does!) but it would make sense if there was a German version. 3a. They all have a blue/white stripe running around them. 3b. That's the colour they were all painted. (I'm sure there is an historical reason they were painted these colours, but I don't know it. Is it link to red/white barbers polls?) 4. Is that yellow thing a rain cover for your pack? 5. Did you know that if you eat only rabbit you'll die? They're probably just looking out for your well being... 6. Julie? At the risk of loosing points for trying to be funny I'll leave this one here. 7. Wheels.... 8. Wonga Park. I'd guess the armchair closest to the sliding door, but possibly the dining table.

Three. And that with no deductions as nothing was funnier than me! But which three? The sad and bad news is that 3 currently leads the quiz champions table. But then again Alla is still researching a couple of questions I reckon.

Town poles

No. I saw a rabbit and shooter on one of the poles and minutes later I saw a rabbit whilst walking but none on any menu. Last night though I had pork in dark beer and vegetable (almost like a thick soup) that was poured over rosti and it was really good.

Only 2! That's enough after 2 litres of beer and half a roast animal. Even I thought I was doing pretty well.

Another trip of a lifetime! How many ‘trips of a lifetime’ can I have? I'm walking the Pennine Way in England and Scotland, driving from Edinburgh down to London then training through France and Spain through Northern Morocco to Marrakech before heading back to Madrid. From there a few days in Doha on the way home. ... full info
