Over the years, Linda and I have had some wonderful experiences and have traveled a lot through England, France, Italy and more recently Spain, Portugal and Ireland. As well we have enjoyed the magnificent opportunities here in our own backyard, Australia

John and Linda, my mate Nick directed me to this website (and he tells me we might even have met when I visited him in Brisbane a good few years ago). My wife and I found your blog really useful in planning our own pilgrimage on the Portuguese Camino. We started in Porto and have now reached Rubiaes, and your advice has been spot on so far. It was a challenging day climbing that big hill, but we made it, although it took us eight hours rather than your seven. Thanks for taking the trouble to write such a useful and informative blog. Good on yer, mate!

I just found your Contiki trip from 82. I was on GE36 in 82 a few weeks before you. Had a great time and your review filled in some long lost memories. Very similar experience. Loved it so much I did it again in 84.

I mean GE37 not 36. Just checked our group photo in Florence.

Steve, thanks for your comments. It was a labour of love to digitise my slides and then add the running comments after so many years. But it is amazing how much detail was remembered.

We went back to Barcelona a few times after that and Paris etc and often saw the Contiki buses and the excited travellers.
