Oh I admit it, I am just a BIT green with envy! What gorgeous, gorgeous countryside you have to explore right outside your front door basically! It always makes me miss Germany when I view your albums (haven't been home in 3 years now).This was wonderful, the boat ride, the caves, the Pub(I hope we finally got to stop for that pint..you neglected to mention that:D)./..Big hugs. Marita

Hi Jill, another terrific album. The Gondola is the last of the boat trips for us, we've been on the others. It's just finding the time to fit it all in. Best wishes, Dave.

Great album, Jill! Every turn produces something interesting as you keep discovering new vistas, new structures and caves! It is almost like a treasure hunt. It must have been quite a picnic boat trip and walk. The pictures are gorgeous; not a soul in sight - my kind of place. Best wishes, Suresh

Jill, I always enjoy walking with you (even that it's much easier when I can do that without having to leave my chair...). This time I enjoyed also riding with you on that boat. Must have been a very entertaining experience. I'm waiting impatiently for the next walk with you... Thanks for travelling with me once again to Iceland. I invite you to join me again next week... Take care, Yair.

Magnificent scenic tour Jill, & your interpretation of the cave is superb. The boat is the star though! They do not make them like that anymore, bet you felt like you were riding along in the Royal barge LOL. Eric

Hi Jill, the Gondola is a beautiful boat. I was so surprised at how smooth and quiet it is. Cathedral Cave looks fantastic. I will go there one day. I liked your photos of the water reflected on the roof. It made lovely patterns. You packed a lot into that day. I await the next installment! Take care, Pam x

Hi Jill,,,, What a fantastic album. I love the countryside there and your lake district photos are always the best. The buildings are so different from ours here in the US. Thank you for sharing such great photos. Hugss,,, Christy

Great album Jill. I love the country side. Beautiful scenery.I usually like a sunset to end my day but this rainbow will do quite well. Take care...Claudette
