Outer Hebrides?

Actually, you should get somewhere foreign again. I'll be ceratinly planning short city breaks sometime early in the year. Preferably somewhere a lot cheaper to get to than my current adventure, so Europe, mainly. I'd love to see Berlin again, and I've heard good things about Dresden and Nordlingen. Eastern Europe still has so much left to explore too. Varous pars to Poland (Gdansk, The Tatras, random small towns). Romania, Slovenia, and other such places. I'd be a litel scared to go for places like that on my own, so you'd be more than welcome to join me. :)

My former team leader moved to the Outer Hebrides!

Poland or Romania could be fun. I've been to Slovenia before.. it was nice. Berlin is always good, but I failed to visit 3 new countries last year (although managed 4 the year before, so might be on track to visit them all), so need to try harder to visit 3 new ones this year.

I'm sure we can find 3 new countries if we look for them! :) I only just made 3 new countries in 2007 - Denmark, Japan, Australia. I went to other places too, but I'd been to them before. The USA won't count next week, as I've been there before too! So I'm on the hunt for new countries.

I only went to Costa Rica and Nicaragua (briefly) in 2007, but I suppose they were quite faraway places. In 2006, I managed Morocco, Denmark, Ireland and Canada. But hey, there are lots of countries left still!

[fluffymark]

Nicaragua counts, even if just for toilets! :P

We can come up with a plan of which countries to attack this year once I get back from my current travels! :)

I can't really afford to go very far. Traffic light tree then? :)

[fluffymark]

Let's go to traffic light tree! I've seen it from a bus, but not up close. :)

Sounds like a good plan! I need to do more things that are free.
