    Absolutely stunning! Your photography is magnificent, with each photo so carefully and artistically composed. I especially enjoyed perusing your North American travels -- it's fun to revisit places that we've been and to see them through your lens. Thank you for sharing your journeys with us. I know how much work blogging takes -- it is truly a labor of love. Wishing you all the best in this New Year. I'm looking forward to seeing where your adventures take you next!

      Thank you Laurel for taking the time to look at my photos, I know that you have a lot on your plate at the moment. Happy new year to you too, and wishing Eric a speedy recovery. I can't believe how many miles he's walking already. I'm just having a look at your Florida trips to get some ideas for next year.

    Outstanding photos especially those of North America for they brought lots of fond memories.
    The Greece photos are great teasers for us especially Santorini, all of which are still on the bucket list. The architecture and the details of Spain was beautifully taken.
    I don't have a favorite, I like them all!

The city that never sleeps

New York City, NY Fulton Station We nearly didn't go to New York because a friend of ours missed the turn off and ended up driving his 5th wheel into Manhattan. Yikes! he still has nightmares about it. After some soothing, Lindsay reluctantly agreed as long as we made sure we knew where we were going. The closest RV park to NYC is in Liberty Harbor in New Jersey. Basically it’s a carpark turned into an RV park, so no ambiance whatsoever. At $97 a night, it’s the most expensive place we have been to but at least we got a day free for staying 7 nights. Inside the Oculus station To say the train system in New Jersey or New York is unfriendly is an understatement. We needed two tickets, one for the PATH which took us across the river to the four billion dollar Oculus train station, then one for the New York subway. The subway is confusing, dirty, old and horrible. There are so many exits and entrances for the same station that you never know where you are going to end...

Kokerboom - Quiver Trees

By -

Just out of Keetmanshoop is the Quiver Tree forest. There are a couple of trees dotted here and there in other places, but nowhere else is there such a number in one place. They say they were never planted, with the largest trees being between 200-300 years old. The bushmen and Hottentot tribes use to make quivers for their arrows from the tough, pliable bark which is where they get their name. The forest is located on a private farm, but they also have a campground, guest houses and bungalows so that people can visit their forest. You don’t need to book to camp there which surprised me as most people have this on their itinerary. Just arrive before sunset they said. They charge per person – an entrance fee, a camping fee, a car fee and a night photography permit fee if you want to photograph between sunset and sunrise. We didn't book the night fee that night as we were tired from the drive and it was also a little cold and windy. She also said they had a group of Chin...

Living in Old Town

We booked two different places on Flipkey for our stay in Puerto Vallarta because I couldn't get into the one I wanted for the whole time. Our first place was in a condo complex of about 25, with two swimming pools and a heated spa. The condo had a slight Mexican feel inside and out, but so do a lot of places in California, we could have been anywhere. It was a 20 minute uphill walk from town that really got our hearts beating and our legs aching. We aren't being precious when we say it was a hard slog. The property agent's car can't make it up the hill, so she leaves it at the bottom, and walks up.  One day a gas truck was driving up the road and Lindsay was able to out walk it - that is how steep it was. I'm not going to miss that hill. Moving next door to the locals We have moved right into the heart of town, with all that comes with it. Kids playing in the street until 10.30pm, garbage trucks picking up rubbish around 8pm nearly every night from the corne...
