Our drive from Tavira to Benagil required an approach focussed around eating up some time as we had to check out by 12 pm and we can’t check in at our Benagil apartment until 4 pm. Given that the drive was only an hour or so, we decided to have lunch somewhere on the way. […]
Our journey to Tavira started with our departing San Sebastian/Donostia. We’d arranged an airport transfer to pick us up from the hotel and drop us directly to Bilbao Airport. I’d arranged the transfer through an app called “BlackLane”. I’d never used them before but felt somewhat reassured when a driver was allocated to our trip
We kicked off our first full day in San Sebastian/Donostia with a walk along the beaches that stretch quite a long way from where we’re staying, to the old town. This walk, however, wasn’t one for exercise. This is the beginning of 2 solid days of Pintxo crawling. As mentioned previously, Pintxos is like a

The drive from Lekeitio to San Sebastian/Donostia was along the northern coastline of Spain, looking out to the Bay of Biscay. This was a lovely drive along a winding road. It would have been the perfect ride on a motorbike but was also enjoyable in the Beemer. We avoided the highways on the way into

A few last minute purchases being some new GoPro batteries for the ageing Hero 3 and a charging adapter for 3 batteries, and a couple of SanDisk Ultra UHS high-speed micro SD cards as backups for the GoPro and the DJI

The new drone has arrived which is smaller and more portable than the previous one. We’re looking forward to making use of this technique more often simply due to this portability. Some footage taken during the inaugural flight at Paradise Point below.

Waking up the morning after seeing Lake Eyre from the sky to hear the patter of rain drops on our cabin roof made for an uneasy start to the day. Knowing that it only takes a wayward incontinent dingo to close a track in these parts, we were worried that we’d be stuck at William

After my last post, Mum (Jenny) sent through the following insights from our Cape York trip. After reading your last instalment concerning the Simpson adventure and the discussion Re: photography, I thought I would remind fellow travellers that you can, in fact, have too many cameras. Those on the Cape York trip may or may
Image source: https://thelongwalkhome2012.wordpress.com/2012/01/ One of the experiences I’m most looking forward to during our trip to the Queensland Outback and Simpson Desert, is the concept of Big Sky Country. Where the land rolls on endlessly to the point where it crashes into the horizon exploding in a vertical wall of blue that towers overhead. The pleasure
