Which post did you like best?
I love the variety- from Gardens to Glaciers. Hope your 2012 is even more adventurous!
Thanks for that! Busy settling into our new life in Norway but hope to still get out and about to a couple of other places this year too =)
Poison Garden! I love crazy stuff like that one… 🙂
Me too! We’ll try to find more crazy for you this year =)
Your Salar de Uyuni photos were some of the best I’ve seen. But I have to say the story of the poison garden near Blarney Castle was the most intriguing. You guys always have some of the most interesting experiences and you capture them so well. Seems like you had an awesome 2011!
That is such a beautiful compliment, Sherry – thank you so much! =)
If you could see me now, I’ve turned green with envy at all 5!
Consider yourself bookmarked.
Thanks so much, Jason! Hope you can get to some of these places soon =)
Salar de Uyuni because I cannot wait to get there myself.
Try to do a longer tour than just one day – I think there is so much more to see than we did! =)
