Olly's Mur Run

At school, my nickname was Olly.  Hence the title of my run this morning.  A very flat out and back along the well kept paths alongside the River Mur. Lots of other runners and cyclists out too. 








I thought I'd better keep the distance training going- I'm in the Birmingham Half Marathon on the 14th May.   I was pleased that I managed it without getting too tired. It was a very nice run through the city to its boundary southwards

Final day at sea

Weather wise, a perfect day to spend at sea- hot sunshine, so most people were on deck. I think I might have annoyed some people as I ran rond the running track 30 times. The running track was bordered by a lot of sun loungers! At the end of the day, on our approach to Vancouver, we sailed through some really pretty fjords.

Up Close and Personal with a glacier

Our friend caught it on video:  It really is awesome to be this near to a glacier and to see it in action.

I think a summer break from travels is needed now... Signing off until the next epic trip (all will be revealed when I next see you). Rob
