UK/Ireland trip: day 17, The Cotswold Way: Winchcombe to Cleeve Hill
Today we decided to take things a little easier than yesterday. The next two segments of the Cotswold Way added up to about the same distance we covered yesterday: Winchcombe to Cleeve Hill and Cleeve Hill to Dowdeswell, and I’d planned that we could cover both in one day. But…

UK/Ireland trip: day 16, The Cotswold Way: Broadway to Winchcombe
Today we began our walking in the Cotswolds. We set the alarm for 07:45 to be up in time for the first breakfast at 08:00 in our hotel. We decided to have the hotel breakfast, seeing as there were no other options in the village. I had a full English breakfast for the first time…

UK/Ireland trip: day 15, Broadway Tower, Chipping Campden
Today we slept in until 08:00 and then got up for our last breakfast in Cambridge. It was foggy again, even more than yesterday morning. After breakfast we went for a quick walk to Espresso Lane for my wife to get a coffee. While she was drinking it in there I went for a short ……

UK/Ireland trip: day 15, ISO meeting day 4, Evensong
Our hotel has a consistently interesting feature. Every morning when we go down to the breakfast room there is a delicious aroma of freshly baked goods permeating the corridors. We can smell it as soon as we leave our room, which is a little odd, as we need to pass through two…

UK/Ireland trip: day 14, ISO meeting day 3
Another interesting difference we’ve noticed between Australia and here in the UK and Ireland is that servers in restaurants and cafes always seem to ask if you have any allergies. And when you’re finished eating they ask if it’s okay for them to clear your plates from the…

UK/Ireland trip: day 13, ISO meeting day 2
I got up at 07:30 this morning, to have some breakfast and be ready to leave in time for the second day of my meetings. Today the hotel had natural yoghurt, which I prefer to fruit flavoured ones with my muesli. After breakfast I left my wife to explore Cambridge by herself for…

UK/Ireland trip: day 12, ISO meeting day 1
We had a good sleep until about 08:00, then got up and checked out the breakfast options in the hotel. They had muesli, as well as pots of oats and porridge which just needed hot water added. I had muesli with yoghurt, though only had strawberry or cherry, rather than natural,…

UK/Ireland trip: day 11, Cork to Cambridge
Today was a travel day, and it ended up taking up more of the day than expected. I thought our flight from Cork Airport departed at 13:00, so I’d planned our morning to give us time to catch a bus out to the airport. When I double checked and found the flight was at 14:00, ……

UK/Ireland trip: day 10, Cork, Cobh
We had a full day in Cork today. Overnight, Ireland went off daylight saving time, which meant that the sun came up earlier than we expected, although since we are still in that kind of holiday time limbo, we otherwise didn’t really notice much. One issue we had was that we were…

UK/Ireland trip: day 9, Cahir Castle, Cork
We woke up a bit early, just after 06:00, probably because we had an early night last night. We tried to snooze in a bit to avoid being up so early. I found a place open for breakfast at 08:00, called Café Rosé, which looked good, so we aimed to head out just before and ……

UK/Ireland trip: day 8, Poulnabrone Dolmen, Cliffs of Moher
Another interesting thing about driving around Ireland at this time of year is the autumn leaves. Most of the trees are still mostly green, just starting to turn various different shades of yellow, orange, brown, or red, while a few are close to fully transformed. This is quite…

UK/Ireland trip: day 7, Corlea Trackway, Roscommon Castle
We got up just after 07:00. My wife slept well, but I’m still struggling to sleep through the night. We searched online for somewhere to have breakfast, but found that Longford isn’t quite as cosmopolitan as Dublin. Most of the cafes didn’t open until 09:00, and we found…
