Only three months since I last posted on here-never seem to find the time somehow.. Been busy on the website of course; adding new accommodation and updating existing details mainly. Our webcam has been pretty stable recently, apart from the odd power-cut. It's curiously addictive watching the bus leave on the hour or the hydrofoil arrive from Rhodes. For new readers I should explain that I write the website from the UK, so I'm as interested as anyone in having a live view of the harbour on my laptop! In the clip below the 'Aegli' leaves for Rhodes in a mix of sun and rain.



Took a group of 44 pupils on our traditional visit to the Christmas market in Bruges last December: a good trip as always.


For New Year my wife Jo and I went to Budapest-a beautiful city with the bonus that was snowing constantly while we were there.



The video below is a view of Pest from Buda late on New Year's eve.



Can't get enough of Ryanair's cheap flights from Liverpool at the moment: off to Valencia at half-term for a few days. Cost a penny out and thirty pounds return-even with taxes etc it's still cheap and the four-star hotel we're staying it costs less than a B&B in the Lakes. Discovered quite by chance (no, honestly) that Valencia are at home on the day we arrive, so will be adding the Estadio Mestalla to the list of football grounds I have visited! Can't wait..

Will post some video up when I get back.
