Picture Update

Published by rob under travel

Usual story, not alot of updating so a fair bit to blitz through since Feb so here is 3 months in pictures…

I was leaving Australia for a while so it made sense to sell ‘Jeremy’ the car. Due to exchange rates I even managed to make a profit…!

So goodbye to nice proper beaches for abit!

A few days later I was back to sunny UK weather:

Luckily we had a trip to Italy sorted so I ended up in a nice warm Rome:

From there we went down to the Amalfi coast area / Capri / Naples etc.

Whilst down there we visited Pompei, which had not changed since I had been last, nor the last 2000 years as far as I could tell.

The logical thing after that is to go up the closest active volcano, where I was snapped being a geek checking GPS on my phone to work out what I was looking at.

The weather picked up when we went down to Capri so here is the obligatory Brit-In-Med shot:

We took a ferry from Capri to Positano which took about an hour more than it ought to due to bad sea fog. If you take a photo in fog this is what it comes out like:

After abit more travelling about down the coast we went back to Rome, where Amy captured this cracking shot

and I had some tasty Thrush

On return to the UK the coldness was cemented with a roadtrip up to Edinburgh (where I will be based for abit) through the BRRRR highlands:

then back down to beautiful North Wales. Bish Bash Bosh thats the last couple of months :)

There have been a few more trips up to Edinburgh / London etc but I think thats enough procrastination for now…
