Okay, the European trip is over - I'll write about those last few days later. Amsterdam was great, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I got a little queasy on the ferry trip from Calais to Dover, drat it. Rivers are so much calmer. Thankfully I'm going under the Channel next time on the Eurostar.
Anyway, back in the UK, I've had 3 days in Exeter, seen the Cliff Richard concert. He's always good, YAY! Amazingly blue sky for the concert though the forecast was for rain!
Now I'm in Bath with the Avon River & the Roman Baths, staying at the YHA. No Free Wifi there, overpriced Wifi! So today I'm using the free Wifi at the local library, great place to spend a gray day. Tomorrow's supposed to be fine, sunny & warm so I hope to do a day trip to the Cotswolds, if I haven't left it too late to book.
Coming into Bath on the bus I was reminded quite strongly of Adelaide, all the stone buildings & the contrasting quoins, no doubt. Not by the time we hit the central city though. All those ubiquitous apartment buildings & terraces, they're inescapable. Gray, dirty looking, mostly boring! Rome was the exception but I must have been on the 'good' side of town, lol. I know they have to fit in all those teeming millions but really! Why not clean them, give them a lick of paint, put plants on the balconies, something!
I'll come back to the library another day for the Wifi.
Enjoy your trip around the sun,
Gail Frances
