The 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!

Glad 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.

Glad 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

The 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!

Don’t forget to blow out the candles upon exit .wink, wink. Or, are those battery operated?
