Brighton - The Old Pier

Check it out - this webcam of the promenade and the pier does still work :)

Kennet & Avon Canal - From Aldermaston to Brunsdon Bridge/Lock

The morning was beautiful and I made it slowly. And short after having made this pic I had to realise that I have a puncture. So off with the luggage again and start the day with work - I was quite happy it was the front wheel :) I managed to repair but had to realise that the tyre had seen better days, so I decided to go to Newbury in order to buy a new one.
After having had this done I went to a webcam in Newbury and made a wave before I left the village. In the evening I put up my tent on the midst of Brunsdon Lock :)

Brighton - The Beach

And down to Brighton Beach. It's nice on a work day in January :)

Watch the damaged West Pier here..

Isle of Wight

I wasn't really sure where to go after Beer, but my dear friend Okka who I met in Harwich in the beginning of my journey, recommended Isle of Wight to me, so that Island became my aim. Somehow I don't have the urge to go on drifting around in England any longer, so I stayed on the Isle of Wight for one and a half weeks - never stayed longer at any other place :) And I had luck with the weather, most of the days turned out to be sunny. I pitched up my tent on a camp site on the west coast, in Freshwater, from where I made long walks along the island.
My dear friends be well prepared for a big post :)
And watch webcam here :)

Donkey Sanctuary

Finally, I reached it, the Donkey Sanctuary. You can watch them on webcam here. I had a nice day cuddling a lot of these funny fellows - I even got bitten! For sure it was because the deep affection she felt for me :)

Exmouth

I can't stay too long because I want to reach the ferry from Starcross to Exmouth. And as always, right in time for the last one :) You can watch Exmouth from this webcam.

Plymouth

I left Looe in direction Plymouth, in Looe Seaton I was able to see the Looe Island.

Looe

The next day started with bright sunshine. My neighbours Matt and Jo invited me to tea, a toasted croissant and a nice chat in the morning. Thank you for that! So as it was time for packing, my tent was dry, the first time since days :) The tour for the day was short, after only roundabout 12 miles I arrived at Looe, which you can watch on this webcam.

Fowey

Yes, I did it! At least I reached Fowey, the town I already "knew" from this webcam. But I didn't even now, how sweet the town is. Yesterday the weather looked to work out fine, but today it's raining hard since 5 hours :)

Boscastle

After having been in Bude for some days I decided to go further in direction Tintagel. I was following the national cycle route number 3 and reached Boscastle. Miles for miles downhill into the valley, and some fish and chips in the first restaurant. Guess what? It's raining again! :)
Warm and with a full stomach down to the harbour. I don't believe my eyes, I have seen that place before, on this webcam :)

 

Exmoor

Been there, done that. It was hard, really hard. I have been pushing a lot, and I must say, I'm not very fond of it, especially when it rains :)
My tour brought me from Minehead to Porlock and from there to the twintowns Lynmouth and Lynton.

Cinque Terre

Feel invited to come with me to this beautiful coast in Italy! Let´s eat from the fresh fish, let us drink some of the cold white wine with it´s subtle odeur of lemon. Let us take a walk in this old landscape with it´s terraces, and let us think about what wonderful invention it was to build those along the steep slopes, before we cool down our feet in the Mediterranean Sea  :)
... Or watch the webcam in Riomaggiore here.

Groningen Fishmarket

Here is a cam of the market.

When visiting Groningen I like to go to the fishmarket. Not only fish is sold, you can buy mostly everything you like to eat :)  I like eating some "nieuwe hollandse matjes" with onions, yummi!

Bremen

The webcam is placed on the north side of the railway station "Hauptbahnhof" in Bremen. The building with the 6 ribs was built between 1961-1964 and is called ÖVB-Arena, it´s a place for big concerts or other happenings. The free space, the "Bürgerweide", in front of that building is mostly used as a place to park. Once each autumn the square is used for the "Bremer Freimarkt" (lit. Free Fair), first held in 1035, it´s the oldest fair in Germany. Round about eastern is here another fair to be seen "Osterwiese". Behind the ÖVB-Arena one can see the trees of the biggest park in Bremen called "Bürgerpark".

Stockholm 2010

Jag är på väg till Sverige :)

En vacker vinterdag i Stockholm. Den sista dagen av året 2010. Jag tog en promenad omkring fjärden, tog trappan upp till Södermalm och var i Sophia Parken innan jag gick tillbaka till Gamla Stan. Det blev mörkt redan klockan tre på eftermiddagen. Sedan blev det vägen över Kungsträdgården emot Sergels Torg enda ner till Stureplan.

Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence, won´t you come out to play?
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue,
it´s beautiful, and so are you.
Dear Prudence, won´t you come out to play?

Dear Prudence, open up your eyes.
Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies.
The wind is low, the birds will sing,
that you are part of everything.
Dear Prudence, won´t you open up your eyes?

Look around round round
Look around round round
Oh look around

Dear Prudence, let me see you smile,
dear Prudence, like a little child.
The clouds will be a daisy chain,
so let me see you smile again.
Dear Prudence, won´t you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won´t you come out to play?
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue,
it´s beautiful, and so are you.
Dear Prudence, won´t you come out to play?
