Knott End Ferry

Sitting on the benches where L. S. Lowry painted the "Jetty at Knott End", peaceful and calm with beautiful views over the estuary. Pale colours of blue, grey and muddy brown broken by the red and white of the Wyre Rose chugging slowly and tired from the hourly trips across the bay.

Turkey Dalyan

Whilst having a beer with our friends in Dalyan conversation was drawn towards travelling when retired, it was agreed that many people say that the will travel as soon as they retire but end up not doing it. After a great deal of thought and research I have come to realise that travel is now and if you don`t do it now the chances are it will be difficult to enjoy when you retire. So on my 58th birthday I have taken the decision to travel and see as much as I can. This bog is a dairy of my travels.

Miles travelled 4980.
