The downside of 14 different places to stay over three weeks and 5 days (not 4 weeks dad ;-) ) makes it really hard to find days to switch off. I am not asking for sympathy (!) it is merely an observation. So when I woke up this morning I breathed a sigh of relief that I am here for 3 nights. That is even enough time to finally do some washing :-) I did a very good job of relaxing today on 3 different beaches and i stopped at about 8! I cant get enough of them. ...

My day started at 8 as i went looking for the farmers market turns out it was an evening one which i later found out. I still managed to stumble across it just some 12 hrs l...

Picture the scene im sat outside the house where im staying for the next two nights waiting for "john" and along comes a topless 50+ something with a dog on lead hurtling towards me on a skateboard - you must be john i find myself saying!

Ive be...
