Welcome to our Photo Blog.
These are favourite shots from "Travels with Ian and Sue" plus many others that didn't make it to www.motorhometrips.blogspot.com

The idea is that some people would prefer just to see our photos to get the flavour of a place we have visited, plus a little information on where and how the shots were taken - the emphasis is on the pictures rather than our day to day adventures. By the way, clicking on any photo will enlarge the view.

France 2011 - Heading south to Nimes

This is the first trip away with a new Panasonic Lumix DMC GH1 with the 14-140 kit lens, bought from Jessops online. The more I get to know and use it, the more I like it.

The DMC TZ7 compact we have makes a great pocket camera when I dont want to carry the GH1, especially as the menu operation is very similar - avoids the inevitable wrong button pushes when changing between makes of camera.

France is like a second home to us. It is a vast country and must be the most motorhome friendly on earth. We could probably explore it for the rest of our days and still find something new.
