Ballinteer Preparations

---

Testing, testing!

This is a preliminary blog post from Ballinteer before we head off in 10 days time for our Viking River Cruise (15 day Grand European Tour), incorporating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Everything is capitalized like that in my head :-)

We are just leaving our suitcases open on the floor and chucking in things as they occur to us and double checking the paperwork.

We have our starter currency pack of 62,000 Hungarian Forints (a mere 202 Euro!), our continental style Schucko plug adaptors, 128 gigabytes of camera memory, about 20 different kinds of medical tablets, 1 Samsung tablet for writing the blog and editing the photos.

Did we forget anything? Almost certainly we will do!

Trying to understand the mobile phone roaming setup is doing my head in! I think you can text us without penalty to us, but if you phone us, on top of the call receiving charge, it triggers a 3 Euro charge for that day (so please don't phone us!)

Emailing should be fine as the boat has free Wi-Fi. (Steve, "WhatsApp" should be ideal too)

Here's a link to some test photos (it's only our coffee outing in Ballinteer this morning!)

Alles in Ordnung, Herr Direktor! I'll drop those guide-books up in the next day or two. B
