PelancongCheers Mike. Sunshine helps. Unfortunately, the forecast for the next 3 weeks is diabolical. Almost as bad as the UK! 😂💦🌧️☔
I was wondering when the Tomo curse ☔️☔️ would kick in 🤣 [Suzanne Donoghue]
Pelancong24º and sunny tomorrow Sue, but after that it looks like 3 weeks of showers and heavier rain in Northern Europe. We are debating whether to abandon our planned route, and head south to Spain and Portugal. We've got the hang of this now.... We could always come back and do Switzerland/Germany/Holland/Belgium again.
Great to have options and just be free to decide where to go when. Loving watching your trip, something to aspire to If I could get Mike to pack light haha xx [Suzanne]
