  • San Diego Day 6 280722

    A video of today’s pictures are in the link below ⬇️ https://youtu.be/P0bY5T0xshE Today was one of those days when we had no plan. We were still buzzing from the RHCP gig last night. We saw lots of people wearing gig T-shirts on our way out. We started the day at our new breakfast fave, Cafe…

  • San Diego Day 5 270722

    Link to images on video here ⬇️ https://youtu.be/yfaV2M8_O_s We woke early again and, once ready, headed down to Fifth Avenue to look for somewhere to have breakfast. Cafe 21 was busy, always a good sign, so we thought we’d give that a try. I have never been served such a pretty breakfast before, is all…

  • San Diego Day 4 260722

    Please find a few photos on this video link below ⬇️. https://youtu.be/oEnurxppMw8 It was an early start today due to us taking a flight to our next destination, San Diego. The hotel arranged a taxi for us to be collected at 9:30. The taxi driver was ex army and told us that he’d been in…

  • San Francisco Day 3 250722

    Please watch my video using the link below ⬇️. https://youtu.be/PDUm9J8iKuM We were up bright and early but it was very cool. We’ve noticed a definite weather pattern, cold and windy in the morning, with the sun brightening things up at around 11am to midday. We headed to Boudin for a delicious breakfast of clam chowder…

    Below are some photos, please click on the link ⬇️ https://youtu.be/saa1OUWOkzY Even though we’d been up for 22 hours yesterday, and had a relatively early night, our body clocks were still in UK mode unfortunately. At least I got to write the blog for day 1, even though it was 3:30am!! However, we did feel…

  • California Day 1 LHR-SFO 230722

    Please check out my pictures on the video below ⬇️ https://youtu.be/c7p-VvagwNo Despite the media hype, the worry of British Airways cancelling flights, losing baggage and threats of strikes, our journey to SFO airport was nothing short of perfect. The plan was to travel light, without having to worry about hold luggage being held up, or…

  • Northern Ireland Day 3 Ballintoy, Carrick-a-Rede, Kinbare, 030622

    Please see link below for pictures… https://youtu.be/pnudfpuqyCc Today we had no plan except for a long overdue walk across the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. More of that later. Breakfast in the hotel was lovely and a nice relaxed affair. The staff were cheerful and attentive, and nothing was too much bother. We set out on the…

  • Northern Ireland Day 2 Causeway Coastal Route and Bushmills Distillery 020622

    Please look at my images here…. https://youtu.be/XZxEmi2dj4o We had a bit of a lie in before checking out today. The Titanic Hotel has nearby parking which is handy both for this and the neighbouring Titanic Museum. The ticket can be validated when checking out of the hotel and the parking charge is discounted by 50%…

  • Northern Ireland Day 1 Belfast 010622

    https://youtu.be/h2nXgnuD-o4 Nuair a ohionn an deoch istigh bionn an chiall amiugh (when the drink is in, the sense is clear). Travelling from Liverpool-Birkenhead to Belfast via the Stena Line ferry is not the quickest of journeys, but is one of the most relaxing. Crossing the Irish Sea was calm and smooth, and gave us chance…

  • Sevilla Day 5 160422

    Please see below the link to YouTube which has a slideshow of my pictures. https://youtu.be/VLatY5d4LXU Today was mainly about walking, seeing as there was no plan again. The intention had been to visit the Real Fábrica de Tabacos de Sevilla. Google said it was open for visitors from 8am-2pm but it was all closed up…
