Having been away for many years it was time to head back to Ireland for a few days. First stop was the Giants Causeway with a quick visit to the Bushmills Distillery along the way. The Giants Causeway is a remarkable place. After that we head over to Connemara to catch up with the Wests.…
Post Boxes, Cradle Mountain and The Edge of the World
It seems every country has it's nuance and for Tasmania it seems to be post boxes. It took me ages to go a few ks as I had to stop and take photos of some of them. Also visited the Edge of the World, pretty awesome spot.

Nice to Albertville trusting the GPS
All I can say is my GPS fully understands me as it selected the most amazing roads today. There was even a bunch of Marmots playing on the side of the road. Perfect day but was hard to leave the gang in Grasse.
