It's been a quiet week at Swiss Cottage after our lively weekend. First, Garry put the finishing touches on a new computer server for our home network. We now have hundreds of gigabytes of storage waiting to be used. Second, annual household bills have started coming due again; home contents insurance, car insurance and the like have been arriving in the post on an most daily basis. Each is a timely reminder that we've just finished our second year living in Swiss Cottage.
We've finally booked hotels for our Easter vacation in Iceland. The itinerary is now locked away. We're going for a self-driving experience; spending time in the capital, Reykjavik and then heading east toward Skaftafell National Park, home to the nation's largest glaciers. The photos online look stunning. Iceland has always seemed so remote and mysterious. It's hard to believe we'll soon be there.
Garry and I have also started dreaming about a tour of North Korea. A few weeks ago we caught up for lunch with an old flatmate of mine. He'd recently come back from a trip to Pyongyang and was full of stories about life in the Hermit Nation. The experience was like none other.
NEW YEAR ROAD TRIP UPDATE
I've finally completed the last details on posts covering our recent road trop to Scotland. Commentary and photos can be found here. A separate post on our brief visit to Hadrian's Wall is here.
