It's holiday time !
First one to visit is Fuerteventura.

LET'S GET AWAY !

The island of Fuerteventura, being one of the Canary Islands, is more or less guaranteed good weather. Just what me & Vicky wanted - it's fairly quiet, good beaches, good weather, excellent hotel (all inclusive 5*) and great food & drink. We've booked for same time, next year, but we're trying the north of the island.

The Hotel Jandia Princess - everything you want here.

View of the beach
(VV LONG BEACH TOO!) from the bar.

Spent loads of time here

The COCO LOCO BAR !!

767 (I think?) -

Got us there & back safely anyway !

No Vicky, you can't take one of the wild local chipmunks home with you.

Water's bloody cold ! - Don't you agree ?

Apart from the German Naturists, this is a well known erection in Jandia.

Godrevy Lighthouse, St Ives Bay Wheal Cotes, Nr St Agnes

Remember Boscastle - what a mess !. Clovelly - lovely place but what a hill !!

Vickys fave place, Falmouth Celtic remains, Lanyon Quiot and Men an Tol

Daphne du Mauriers Frenchmans Creek

The lovely Phoenix Hotel in not-so-lovely Tsilivi

Harvey's Bar

Kefalonia from Zante

It's Fuerteventura again, but the north side, to Corralejo.

Corralejo has more to do than Jandia - both places we'd go to again - going back to Jandia (same hotel) in September. It has a lovely harbour (above) fronted by eating places & bars. Made the Talk of the Town (below) our local - think they're glad we came home as I won the music quiz every night - anybody want a T Shirt !

Took a day out to visit Lanzarote on the boat - nice trip where you see the fish (Herring ???) from the bottom. Next time we'll pay a visit to Lobos, which is pictured above. All in all a very nice time at Fuerteventura.

NODDY & BIG EARS' BIG OUTDOOR CARAVAN ADVENTURE TO YARMOUTH (P...ing it down)

Yarmouth Caravan Park

The hat is obligatory !

...and they're off (but not yet)

Cromer

Potter Heigham - that bridge is VERY narrow !

Southwold - for some very sad reason, we quite liked this place - it featured on Coast.

Back to Jandia, and the Jandia Princess Hotel - lovely place

1st port of call - Coco Loco bar

Salud !

Vik, Me & George

Hired a car for a day & toured ALL the island - was a bit hair raising, I can tell you.

On the way to find a Farmacia - bloody Mosquito's

Puerto del Rosario - they forgot to tell us the place was closed on Saturdays.

Thought we'd try the Channel Tunnel, so went to Bruges for a few days - lovely place, but damn cold - needed another hat !

Stayed 1 night at Folkestone, with the Tinsel & Turkey mob - a very ageing process !

Customs & going down to the train - brilliant !

Stopped off at Dunkerque - this is a plaque on the beach remembering Operation Dynamo (I think)

Bruges is lovely - especially around Christmas

...and you can drink & have a fag !

...but no pissing in the street !

A quick trip to Stratford on Avon

Shakespeare's birthplace Ann Hathaway's cottage Holiday Inn, where we stayed - (very good)

Much of the same in March 2008 -Corralejo

A QUICK VISIT TO WEST SCOTLAND

June 2008

Day 1 - stopped at the Star Hotel, in Moffatt - worlds narrowest hotel mesuring 20' wide ! - nice place..

After much driving around lochs, we arrive at Campbeltown, Kintyre - rather a dull run down place, but intereting from a Beatles point of view, if you look on 'More Beatles Stuff' & 'Beatle Homes'

Mull of Kintyre - the actual beach where Paul & Wings performed the song for video.

Edinburgh castle from Princes St - must say Edinburgh's bus system is brill !

The castle, ready to host the tattoo.

Where we stayed - nice hotel.
