    Done well out of me those photographers last year. :D
    Never bothered before. Worth every penny after seeing the pin sharp results.

    Happy travels

    So now that the sun was out I took off my waterproofs- big mistake... 15 minutes later in Monaco:

    I got soaked in minutes, then spent 1,5 hours in the pouring rain to get out of the sodding place. Anyway. All dried up now, found a hotel and a beer.

    On the whole the weather's been favourable mate. An hours rain each day up until today, so not bad at all (prima dus :p). It was just unlucky I'd just taken off my waterproofs this afternoon - but hey, such is life! I'm having a great time regardless, and hope folk will enjoy my travels vicariously...

    My pleasure, Dartplayer - as I'm on my own on this trip it gives me some sense of purpose, too.
