Experiences

Burns Night in Dunedin

January 25, 2023: Dunedin: We joined the party and celebrated Burns Night in Dunedin, New Zealand! Complete with kilts, bagpipes, whisky and of course haggis, it was quite the Scottish soiree.

Milford Sound

February 8, 2023: Queenstown. The engine revved, the prop roared, and our plane leapt from the runway. We were finally up and away to the Southern Alps and Milford Sound!

Doubtful Sound

February 1, 2023: Fjordland National Park. Without a doubt, one of our favorite stops on the New Zealand Trip was Doubtful Sound in Fjordland National Park. Breathtaking!

Castlerigg Stone Circle

September 15, 2022: Keswick, England. On a green plateau surrounded by high fells stands the Castlerigg Stone Circle, with sheep in constant vigil.

Julie the Minor

August 23, 2022: Dorking, England. We were just leaving Dorking when we met Julie, the Minor, as she was leaving for France. And fine old gal she was!

The Floating Stones

September 1, 2022: Pembrokeshire, South Wales. The Floating Stones… as we surveyed them, the megaliths seemed to float over the green earth, sea and sky viewed beneath.

Tour de France

July 09, 2022: Lausanne. After 186km in the mountains, Tour de France Stage 8 climaxed at Lausanne with a dramatic sprint to the finish. Wout van Aert surges for the win!

July 14, 2022: Bastille Day. The 14th of July is celebrated in grand fashion in Paris, with military parades, fireworks, and an all-night party. This is the French National Celebration, also known as Bastille Day, akin to the USA’s 4th of July.
