I've mentioned my travel blog a few times (sorry) but I've now finally settled on a way of mirroring it in a way that works for me.

The main blog for now remains at https://mikefromlfe.mataroa.blog/ and that's what I'll try to update on our travels each day - not that we've got anything planned before May!
I've now got a prettier site where I'm copying & pasting the Mataroa blogs (for now) at https://gaylers.me/travel/ I'll try to update this each day as we travel as well but it's a bit more of a faff - particulalrly when I'm incorporating photos - although it's probable that in time this will become the more photo-heavy blog with the Mataroa one remaing mostly text.
I can't see that I'll have the energy to produce different content for the two platforms - but I'm a little bit concerned about the long-term sustainability of Mataroa - so it's belt & braces.

"The eye is enticed by a path, and the mind’s eye also; the imagination cannot help but pursue a line in the land — onwards in space but also backwards in time to the histories of a route and its previous followers."

Gythio Peloponnese Greece Exploring Seaside Town Gythio is a charming coastal town in the Peloponnese, known for its picturesque harbor, traditional architecture, and rich history. As you explore, you'll find narrow streets lined with colorful houses, seafood tavernas, and small shops offering local products. The town's history is deeply intertwined with ancient Sparta, as it was once its port. Key spots to visit include: - Kranai Island: A small islet connected by a causeway, featuring the Tzanetakis Tower, a lighthouse, and beautiful views of the sea. - Dimitrios Shipwreck: Located on the beach of Valtaki, this photogenic wreck is a must-see for photographers. - Mavrovouni Beach: A long sandy beach just south of Gythio, popular for swimming and windsurfing. - Ancient Theatre of Gythio: Explore the remnants of this ancient structure, offering a glimpse into the town's classical past. Strolling through Gythio offers a blend of scenic beauty, history, and a taste of authentic Greek life. Is there anything specific you’d like to focus on during your visit?

Dopo veramente tanto tempo ho scritto di nuovo.
Volevo scrivere un post dove analizzavo i miei viaggi per dare un senso all'esame di data science, ma poi mi sono perso nei ricordi.
È venuto fuori qualcosa di diverso, pieno di note e divagazioni. E va bene così.

Come ho viaggiato nel 2024

Quest'anno ho attraversato l'oceano per la prima volta. Ho visto il futuro e la disperazione convivere nello stesso incrocio. Ho cantato con degli sconosciuti in una lingua che non conosco. Mi sono perso più volte, alcune per scelta, altre no.

Just got my new US passport. It is awesome as hell. A boatload of new technology in these new ones. I like it a lot.

PSA: If you’ve got a passport, check the expiration date. If you are within 6 weeks of international travel, you’ll have to renew in person. I did mine on line, got my new one in less than a month.

For #FotoMontag a departing view of the village of Flåm in Norway from last year's visit there. It's one of the prettiest locations in an incredibly pretty part of the world, and it doesn't hurt that it's got an incredible brewery there.

#Travel #Photography #TravelPhotography #LandscapePhotography #Landscape #Norway #Flaam #Flåm #Fjords #PhotoMonday #Cruise
We're several decks high on a ship leaving a low-lying village settled on a triangular patch of nearly flat ground at the base where two mountain ridges split apart from the narrower valley they've carved out of the landscape behind. It's a bright day with a mix of light blue sky and patches of puffy white clouds above. The longer chain of hills and mountains runs from the left across the field of view, overlapped in front by the slope on the right of the nearer, taller, more verdant rocky formations. Sheer faces of dark rock poke out amongst the greenery of trees clinging to any flat surface and growing tall, though tiny and difficult to make out individually from this distance. The ground between the mountains and beside the flat, blue water of the fjord we're on is bright in the sunshine and a lush green with short grass. Houses and other low buildings mostly line the water's edge with roofs of red or grey tiles and walls of white for the most part.
