17-22 June 2023 Netley: Various Walks and Excursions


During these few days we took some "off time" and stayed close to home.   We used this time to plan out the trip and for Leslie to recover from an allergic reaction.  Over these few days we managed to find a good place in Tokyo, so we booked it for a month in April / May of 2024, we nailed down where to stay in eastern Cypress and rearranged some locations out in 2026.  We also took walks in the Royal Victoria Park which is adjacent to our place.  We saw birds , foxes, families and many many dogs!
