Did you really visit Cincinnati if you didn’t eat traditional Cincy chili? I had my Skyline last night! #TravelAddicts #Food theroyaltourblog.com/2023/05/10/c...

Today, our little narrowboat wears her poppy with pride. In the stillness of the marina, under grey skies and gentle ripples, we remember. To all who served, fell, or came home forever changed — inc The horses, dogs, pigeons, and all those who stood beside them. A quiet thank you, from the water.

Just a behind the scenes shot from our filming in #Dubrovnik #Croatia. We purposefully walked (slowly) through a group of pigeons for a nice scene. Sure it wasn’t Hollywood but not bad. Big thanks to a friend who stopped a kid from kicking over the camera!! #TravelAddicts #Travel #photography

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

💛 A big thank you to Lynn for sharing these beautiful photos from your recent trip with us. Seeing those happy smiles means the world to our team. 🌊 It looks like everyone had such a lovely time together on the water #Community #Charity #BoatHire #LifesBetterByWater #MondayMood #UKCanals

Wendy manages to capture the modern and traditional views in the beautiful #Japanese town of #Takayama in this amazing reel. We only stayed for two nights, should’ve been much longer!!!! #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #Travel #LoveTwoTravel #photography

It’s official, we’re both retired and about to make a HUGE life change! We’ve sold our house and downsized our possessions for a narrowboat life. We’ll be in the UK in December, in a rented NB by Feb, and in our own NB by June! So excited! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #LoveTwoTravel #retirement

The rural village of Shirakawa-Go may not be the most well known tourist spot in #Japan but it is an amazing way to spend a day. Designated a #UNESCO World Heritage site, some of the homes date back to the third century! #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #Travel #LoveTwoTravel

When you live in a state that actually cares. No, California is not perfect - far from it. But our leadership does try.

This is a great guide to keep bookmarked!!!

The first ‘English’ past time I introduced my wife to was Fawlty Towers. It was serendipitous Prunella Scales also starred with her husband in Great Canal Journeys, a show that led us deeper into the thought of #narrowboat living. She will always be remembered with love ❤️ #PrunellaScales

Another incredible reel from Wendy. Us aside, if you haven’t been watching our #Japan travel videos, you’re missing an incredibly beautiful country! #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #Travel #LoveTwoTravel #photography

Apropos Blowzabella / Andy Cutting playing Widcombe social club this week: here's Tom Kitching taking the oil tanker wooden narrowboat 'Spey' through Sydney Gardens, heading for the Bath lock flight in August 2022. #UKcanals

Some people have had problems submitting questions to @CRT in advance of today’s Annual Public Meeting. It seems that the email address on their website contains initial caps which means the email gets rejected. Hmm. Is that intentional? #boaters #ukcanals

Does anyone else think we’re being treated to a spectacular autumn this year? 🍁🍂🍄 Droitwich canal, UK. #UKcanals #Landscape #Nature #Autumn #Fall

Morning views over the canal 🌄 There are some stunning views to reward early risers at this time of year. How do you start your mornings on or by the waterways? #iwa #morningview #ukcanals #waterways

Our latest travel adventure is up! A lot of things going on in our lives and a new laptop seizing up just as we were about to publish it three weeks ago! Better late than never!! #shirakawago #Japan #onsen youtu.be/6Qcn-PGLqTU?...

Lapworth Junction and the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal along with some interesting fungus. This month's ramble around Baddesley Clinton. #ukcanals #Warwickshire #nature

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents? MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

It’s not unreasonable to say if the Democrats were in power and; - The stock market continued to fall - Dems used govt portals to bash the GOP - They were arresting GOP opponents - Sending masked police into red states There would be having vapors, and certainly armed protesters on the streets

Great fun!!!

My ballot arrived today and I will be voting YES on California Prop 50. If you live in California, I urge you to do the same, and to MAKE SURE TO VOTE! @governor.ca.gov #CAPol #Prop50

With Bad Bunny being called a foreigner despite being from Puerto Rico, maybe today is a good day for a three year old refresher on Puerto Rican politics as seen through a tourist’s lens. Check it out! #TravelAddicts #PuertoRico theroyaltourblog.com/2022/03/14/a...

At a doctor appointment and just learned they’re not sure if insurance is covering the Covid vaccine anymore. So yeah. Merica!

For what limited time I watched this fiasco, this definitely came to mind.

This a million times over.

The Grand Union Canal is looking beautiful in this gorgeous Autumn sunshine. Thank you to our fantastic volunteer Steve for the photos! #TuesdayMood #Charity #Boathire #Ukcanals #Autumn #Canal #GrandUnionCanal #Volunteer

Rambling around no mooring, no beer Ansty. Hawthorn and the Oxford canal. The hedgerows are just starting to turn. Great to get into the fresh air, peace and boundless horizons. #Warwickshire #Nature #ukcanals

Currently on my #Blog: TAORMINA ~ ISOLA BELLA 🏝️ There is so much to explore on this fascinating tiny island that sits in the sea below Taormina Find out more about Isola Bella in my latest post whitealmond-privatesicily.blogspot.com/2025/09/taor...

This is what really impressed me about #Dubrovnik the effort they were making to manage tourism. We even talk about it in our travel video (coming out when it comes out!) www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

A fresh off the press!!! The shell of our #narrowboat build is nearing completion by Tim Tyler! Next stage, electric motor and everything that goes with that! Giddy is only one of our many emotions right now!!!! #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography

An autumnal trip to #Sicily is the solution 🍁🌞

We just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary, and soon our 21st anniversary of being ‘us’. Our wedding in Santorini, Greece set the tone for our life together. Never worrying if we had the newest car or biggest house, instead exploring this incredible world we live in, collecting memories!

A good time to join National Association of Boat Owners, a long standing Association that represents all boat owners. Members receive regular issues of its magazine, and discounts from various boat related organisations. #ukcanals #boaters

Taking our recent #Croatia Travel adventure to a lighter note, Wendy snapped this pic. Croatians have a great sense of humor!!!! #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #Travel #LoveTwoTravel #photography #humor

Being an island in the middle of a tropical ocean, surrounded by water keeps things remarkably stable.We are at the tail end of our dry season, tropical winter, 25° overnight 28° - 29° during day, howling wind is downside. Water temp 26-27°. In about 4 weeks it will be perfect 26°-30° gentle breeze.

The obvious rule of the Croatian island of Hvar is you can never have enough pictures of its bustling main port. This version is when it’s at its most quiet, later in the evening. #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #Travel #LoveTwoTravel #photography #Croatia #Hvar

Hats off to #Dubrovnik , this is as tacky as it got in the walled Old Town. Impressed at the towns efforts to keep it classy! #GoT #GameofThrones #Croatia #TravelSky #TravelAddicts #Travel #LoveTwoTravel #photography

There’s no ‘shame’ in not immediately recognizing these stairs. However, if you’re a Game of Thrones then maybe you should walk them with your head hung low😳 Yep the Jesuit Stairs in #Dubrovnik were used for the GoT’s Walk of Shame! #Croatia #OldTown #TravelAddicts #Travel

“There are no more reports of food insecurity, my administration has eradicated food insecurity.” I can hear it now.

❤️❤️❤️

Had the pleasure of spending two weeks in Croatia for a friend’s wedding. Stopped by the Cathedral of St. Lawrence in Trogir. A iRoman Catholic triple-naved basilica constructed in Romanesque-Gothic, very cool to climb to the top! #Croatia #Trogir #GameofThrones #travel
