I decided to create a new blog for my holidays this year to keep things separate from my main blog. I'm going to try an post regularly while on holiday but it will depend on when I can get a wifi connection on my iPad. I'm going to be using my Kodak Playsport to take the pics and then do some basic processing on the Camera+ app. I've found that I'm not able to edit the blog using the normal editor for Blogger within Safari (it crashes when I try to publish) to I'm going to use BlogPress instead. One thing I need to edit after the initial posting is the photo size as it creates them at the small size by default and I prefer them a bit bigger.

After a bit more testing I've abandoned Camera+ because it keeps crashing when I try to save my edited photos so now I'm using PhotoForge2 which seems a lot better and has a lot more editing options. I've also found that when I add photos to the post in BlogPress that I can resize them within the editor so that makes things a lot simpler.

Posting the photos separately as the slow connection is causing BlogPress to time out I think.

Day 4/5 - Leaving Niort

Last night went to the restaurant, all poshed up for my birthday meal, and it was full of truckers. Well, maybe an exaggeration but there were a lot of men on their own reading magazines. There wasn't a massive selection of food but what we had was very good. This is the sky from the restaurant window.




In the morning we have some cloud and the weather forecast for Niort is for thunderstorms later and the temperature 30 degrees C. Where we are going to (Villefranche-de-Lonchat) it is going to be sunny and 33 degrees, so we better set off before it rains.
