3/4/12 - This amazing sculpture on the coast near La Coruna in Spain is called Caracola, this is a Spanish word for a Conch. I can just imagine some ancient civilisation using it as a warning horn.

25/3/12 - This was my first trip to the city of Brugge and it was a good one, Brugge is such a lovely place, we had a little adventure getting to the city from the cruise ship in Zebrugge but that adds to the fun of the day.
