Personally I went to Nordkapp in 2007. Astonishing.

But i drove through Sweden and Finland before getting in Norway near Alta.

Anyway I think everywhere in Norway is beautiful. Maybe the best fiords are in the south (Stavanger, Bergen, Alesund..) but up in the north, before nordkapp, there are the lofoten islands and tromso. They must be outstanding places.

Was on holiday in Northumberland last week and did 5,000 steps in one day - that was one fucking big pub car park

Off to Croatia in a weeks time, everyone I speak to say it's fantatsic. Fly to Pula in the north and drive down the coast visiting a couple of Islands. If you know any places worth visting let me know. End up past Dubrovnik and then eventually fly back from there.

Off to Nashville Saturday for a week then immediately on a holiday somewhere near the sea in the U.K. for my wife's birthday with friends and family cannot wait

Look out for Geoff Firebaugh's rockabilly band Hillbilly Casino who're out of Nashville - met Geoff in Kilkenny a few years back...and then have a great time by the seaside!

Catching up on recent travels -at Easter I went to Hamburg to see Whitney Rose and to wander around a German city I hadn't visited. Did the Beatles sites on and around Grosse Freiheit:

Plaque marking the site of the Star Club just around the corner from a brothel doorway...

View inland from the top of St Mikaelis Kirche

Sailing ship near the Fish Market

The doorway in St.Pauli where John Lennon was photographed - the image was later used for his "Rock'n'Roll" LP.

The docks

No holiday this year. Just moved house and have no money. Might just manage a day trip to Rotherham. Or maybe not.

On a massive revisit of The Beatles just now and re-reading Mark Lewisohn's first volume of biography which sent me to Jurgen Vollmer's photos. Your modern shots are marvellous

This year, a trip to Colorado to see friends and family in Boulder and Denver. Hiking, relaxing, picking up all of the legal edibles as I can fit into my suitcase.

Super exciting, safe travels! There's a fantastic barbecue spot every twelve feet, of course--but don't mess around, make them take you to Loveless Cafe or Martin's. If anyone is vegetarian or vegan, their side dish games are strong

Love Colorado. Went to Lyons Folks Festival a few years back and caught the likes of Todd Snider, Josh Ritter and Stephen Kellogg.
