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 6 - First day at the Gite

Last night went to the local supermarket for provisions and then had dinner at the gite. Overnight we had thunderstorms which must have followed us down from Niort. In the morning it was quite overcast and pleasantly cool after the last couple of days.

We didn't do much today but have a rest, wander about the property and check out the facilities. We had a bit of late sun just before the sun went down and the photos in the next couple of posts are our gite and out French neighbours gite.
