Top one’s my favourite, Andrew, and I really must make it up to Coimbra next year. While my legs can still handle all those steps. 🙂 🙂 Enjoy Spain- whichever bit 🙂 – and wishing you and Kim continued good health and happiness iin 2018.
That ship on the second card reminds me very much of the Dutch ships that ventured to the Dutch East Indies few years back; (4 or 5 hundred few). Similar to the ‘Halve Maen’ which is in NY State which is a replica of those cheap and cheerful ships that the Dutch threw together back then.
There is a replica ship in a Museum in Amsterdam of an unfortunate boat that sunk on its maiden voyage. I always think that is a special tragedy. All that work gone in minutes.
