Fringe Festival in August in Edinburgh, then road trip to The Lake District, The Cotswolds and ending off in Oxford. Our two week stunning trip.

Edinburgh in August – the City of the Festivals
During the month of August, Edinburgh hosts The Fringe Festival and plenty other festivals – the city becomes home to a multitude of live performances. Theatre, Dance, Musicals, Stand-up Artists, Music, Street Performences, Childrens’ shows and more. There is something for everyone. Some of the shows are free and others charge relatively reasonable prices.
The Gallivanting Goldies are back. Corona is “over” and we, a little more golden, are back on the road. This time we spent 15 magnificent days doing a road trip in Portugal, from Porto in the North to The Algarve in the South. We flew into Lisbon, took a connecting flight to Porto, spent 4 amazing nights in this city which albeit at first looks grim and unimpressive but very quicky grows on you. On the fifth day we rented a car and started our road trip:- Douro Valley, Sintra, The Algarve and Lisbon.

Who doesn’t dream of going to a beach wedding on a Greek Island? For the Gallivanting Goldies this dream became a reality a few weeks ago – at the beginning of September. We celebrated a family wedding at Porto Koundouros, Kea – and what a wedding it was and what a time we had!
The WiFi code at our hotel was: Amsterdamrocks! This pretty much sums it up!
We, three gallivanting goldies, friends of close to 40 years from Law School days, have just spent 4 glorious days in Amsterdam and it rocks, even for us goldies! Canals, Van Gogh, Coffeeshops, Fried Chips, Cafes, Banksy, Bicycles, Cheese and Beer – we wandered around this vibrant city for 4 marvelous days.
