Great to read of your travels again Tara. Sounds like your adventures are continuing. When are you due in London and when are you back home here in Tassie? It's been very cold here - winter has definitely arrived with frost and icy roads in the early mornings although the past couple of days have been beautifully sunny albeit cold in the shade. Dark Mofo is currently on and there have been thousands of tourists going to the Winter Feast etc - so good to see our city come alive and with the magnificent deep red colour of buildings all lit up. I'm going to the "Burning of the Ogah Ogah"and the procession that precedes that on Sunday evening with the culmination being the Winter Solstice nude swim on the 21st June (which I won't be doing...hahaha).

Continued safe and fun travels and look forward to your next blog. xx

Sounds like it’s all happening in Tasmania right now! How fun! I’ve seen photos, and heard reports of how cold it’s been. And why aren’t you doing the nude swim? Come on … you can do it. 🤣

I still have some trouble in the UK before I head home for my conference. I should be back in the pool in early July.

It is definitely an interesting place and I think I enjoyed it just as much this time. It’s finding the pockets away from the tourist traps.

Hi Tara, So good to hear you got to see some of your fellow pilgrims in Santiago, I loved that.. I know what you mean by telling where people were from by the way they were dressed, us kiwis were equally daggily dressed as you describe.. we are making progress here, 4 more days until the cast is off! Enjoy Finisterre yet again, having no agenda sounds fantastic!

Hey Jill, it’s good to hear from you. I’ve been thinking about you, sending healing vibes to you across the water. Glad to hear the cast is coming off! Woohoo!! I think the Kiwis and the Aussies are in the same boat when it comes to fashion. And that’s okay - we are all embracing our authentic dagginess. 🤣.

Wow what a journey. There’s nearly a book in this epic story. And I guess that would be a real Portuguese tart. Yummo.

Great reading. Cheers Jude love the pics too.

Too many books and not enough time. Also too many photos, and not enough bandwidth. See you soon.
