Valencia, ES, Day 1, 30 May 2023
More photos here….. https://youtu.be/lIHBS8lgBzs We landed in Valencia at roughly 7pm on Tuesday 30th May. Only having hand luggage, we were soon out of the airport and easily flagged a taxi down.

Key West, FL, Day 5, 150223
Please click on the link to see more pictures ⬇️ It was an early awakening today only because I set my alarm to enable me to see the sunrise. It was well worth it, the view over the ocean was amazing at about 6:30am. I’ve never seen anything quite so incredible. Once we’d packed and…
