Returning to the hotel room now to decide which items of clothing I can part with so he can pack all of these...
It wouldn't be a holiday without filling my suitcase with tinned fish. Really chuffed to see some Miss Can from Portugal in a furniture shop of all places. Then I had a mixture of German supermarket tins, fancy department store tins and tins from a couple of Asian supermarkets that look interesting

Something cool I noticed in India: Chip and PIN machines where the buttons are a touch screen and all the number positions are randomised so people can't see the pattern you type. Genius! 👌

Today I met someone who is from the very centre of India, about 800km from the sea. Having grown up by the coast, I said I always feel a bit lost if I don't know where the nearest sea is. He looked at me like I was mad. Am I mad?

Hard to express just how sad I am to be leaving New Orleans. I've left it many times before but there was always a plan to come back. This time it seems like it could be the last for a very long time. Good luck, y'all! ♥️ ⚜️

Our last full day here for goodness knows how long. Nice of the city to offer us some perfect walking weather! ⚜️
A lovely afternoon for exploring New Orleans

Hey, America! I see you like to like excessive air conditioning and ice cold drinks in warm, wet climates. Can I interest you in this wild invention called the "beer mat"?

Nice weather for lizards

Last weekend I used tap-on-tap-off on a Bridgend bus for the first time. So happy to finally have this option but I was concentrating so hard on remembering to tap off that I didn't say "Cheers, drive!"

Absolutely mortified and I don't know if I'll ever get over it, to be honest.

Bluesky exclusive:

I don't go into the big city much, but when I do I make sure I frame dumb drunk photos very well and also provide tasty alt text. Follow me for slightly less of this.
