my travel stories & photos
Continuing on from my last post. The next location of my euro working holiday trip was Spain. A small port in the south west called Cadiz. This place had quite a middle eastern look to many of the buildings mixed in with the normal grand cathedrals and small narrow streets so common in Europe. The […]
MoreIf you follow my personal Facebook or Instagram accounts you will have seen a few shots from my latest “working holiday”. I am currently on another OS trip with the lovely family that I traveled to Canada and Hawaii with at Christmas. This time it has been a European adventure……………. First stop Venice – with all its […]
MoreAs a follow on from my last post, I thought I would write about our recent honeymoon adventures. We flew to Cairns to collect our new car. We had been watching the heights of the rivers closely before our trip. Another option was to pop the new car on a barge and get it delivered […]
