Congrats on the new camera! That is a big difference! Good camera!
8 hours agoGlad you did the math as it does ( and did) add up! Worth every Grampies penny, in my opinion. ( note I did not add “humble”, before the word opinion ;)
1 day agoHow can an American Robin be in Canada? ( not a serious question, but meant as a pun)
1 day agoThe Nikon P950. It's big and will eat up the handlebar bag space. Plus with such a camera I will feel pressure to get some good shots. More fun to have a blurry point and shoot to blame?
The P950 though is still a bit of a gimmick - achieving long zoom by having a small sensor = poor in low light and less dynamic range. (I am already lining up my excuses for any poor shots!)
Can't wait to see what kind of camera you are getting!
2 days agoGlad to hear you made it home safely. I enjoy reading your journals! But I also have tailbone/sciatica issues when sitting for prolonged periods of time. I use a wedge shaped square seat cushion that has a cut out at the back for the tailbone when sitting in a car or when flying long distances. I brought mine with me when we flew to Rome last fall and it made the flight tolerable. You can get many different versions on Amazon.
2 days agoGlad to hear you are safely home. We arrived in Spain yesterday aft yesterday and now with our daughter in Murcia and feel relatively normal after a punishing flight. 17.5 hours Auckland Doha. A transfer of 3.5 hours. 6.5hours Doha Barcelona a 5 hour transfer then 1 hour Barcelona Alicante. Must say it was wonderful to be met by them and wished the hours drive to Murcia. Lovely to relax in their house then a surprisingly good nights sleep

1 week agoYou can console yourselves too with the chance to finally see your first cackling geese!
1 week agoThe temperatures at home are now reaching or exceeding what we have here in France, so at least we can continue cycling, albeit on the useless roads they have there, with not an 11th century church in sight!
1 week agoI don’t doubt you’re both feeling wistful, but congratulations! Have a safe journey home.

We will still need the small camera just to document the trip. The new camera weighs 2 1/2 pounds, so maybe we will need to jettison that weight ... in underwear?
