Doing some professional volunteering, plus some personal R&R.

Boo hiss. I’ll probably get banned if I say what I really want to. Having said that it wasn’t the best hot chocolate I’ve had.

In Madagascar, they tend to party/celebrate independence day the night before... then have the actual day, off, to recover. Well played!

I didn't have the hot chocolate.

Something cooler and something else to replace all the calories I’ve expended walking up the bloody hills in the heat.

Walked 10 minutes or so from our great apartment to Dominikanska and had a great schnitzel- after a month of eating out I am looking for "plain food"

Last few days in Cornwall before I leave.

I probably should’ve stayed home and sorted all the stuff I need to cull but there’s always tomorrow and if I don’t, I’ll just throw it in the car and worry about it later

Both houses were historic houses of UK members and I had joined that so I’ve certainly got my money’s worth worth out of that. They were also both still family homes so we weren’t able to take photos which I always find quite disappointing.

Prideaux Place the guide for this tour was one of the family and apart from being a bit dippy and pretentious, she was very good

That would be the northern end of Tantangara Reservoir. The Murrumbidgee heads through, fairly early in its journey. It's the one feeding in from the top of the left arm.

Definitely check out Bar Turystyczny then, it's a milk bar / cafeteria style place and as homey as it gets. I understand eating out fatigue when travelling very much!
