Maybe I'll email a photo of the wrecked bottom plate. I thought I had it nicely glued and taped up, but 10 days on the lens jammed. In a reply to Karen Poret I am blaming the Spanish air, but these zoom lens cameras are so inexplicably finnicky!

Humourous! Actually Scott mailed all his cameras to us. But yeah, a reverse camera flow would be fun too. Scott thinks my camera should be fixable, but he has not seen the wreck of its bottom plate. I thought I had it well sealed up with glue and tape, but ten days later the lens decided to jam up. Maybe the Spanish air?

Not a good plan. We have considerably less storage space to work with than Steve does.

If you look just at the blue on the building it could be a bird! Count it as a ā€œreplacementā€ species , in ā€œhonorā€ of the P-950.

And they are really very handsome birds.

European breakfasts plus being able to sleep under a fluffy quilt, not to mention creaking joints, put an end to camping for us.

Until recent events to our south we were much more discreet, only hanging the 2 small Canada luggage tags from our rear panniers. Somehow, though, we don't like being bullied and are now carrying as big a flag as we can.

Congratulations on getting onto the first train successfully! And I think youā€™re doing the right thing mailing your brick home. I canā€™t believe it isnā€™t salvageable.

Don't knock the wood pigeon! It's always an ever present bird that first welcomes us cycle tourers to Europe with its soothing cooing!

Ever since we gave up camping, the European hotel breakfast have us pretty spoiled. That'll get you going in the morning, Steve.
