Moving on from the Olympics – we are now
preparing for our next trip. This is our annual bike ride and on this occasion
is accompanied by a trip to Ireland with Gwenyth and PK.
We go to Ireland at the end of next week –
and here’s the good bit – I am not responsible for anything!
I usually do all the travel and
accommodation arrangements and am therefore held accountable for the inevitable
cock ups which occur.
For the trip to Ireland Gwenyth has done
everything - so if we end up in some rat infested hovel - scraping bugs off our
festering bodes - then we know exactly who to blame.
In fact – we don’t know anything about what
is happening except that Gwenyth and PK are picking us up at Shannon airport.
It’s very exciting.
After that we go aboard the Miro
for a bike and boat
trip in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Last year we had significant problems in
the Netherlands as we trailed after our group leader who pedaled like the hounds
of hell were after her.
This year we are doing a self guided tour
and can proceed at our own pace.
This means – of course – that we well spend
a lot of time being lost – as we did in Italy – but I believe that there are
many bars and restaurants in the countries we are visiting - so we should be
OK.
I am going to do eXactly the same vacation soon, eXcept I am going to South Dakota, and I wiLL use a Ford F-350 4x4 instead of a bicycle. I am hoping there isn't much snow.
ReplyDeleteMy brothers were in town last week and I took them to the Joan Miro gallery - they loved it.
ReplyDeleteHave fun, and if you can rent a dog called Timmy as well, then you can pretend that you're Julian, Dick, Anne and George as you're pedalling through the countryside. Just don't forget the lashings of ginger beer.
esb: We should have much the same experiences and can compare notes later.
ReplyDeletenzm: We were planning on lashings of Jameson!
