Simon McArthur @simonmcarthur.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Last day in Munich today after a few months based here. In the last few weeks we have also visited Vienna, South Tyrol, Croatia, and Venice. Headed to Berlin tomorrow, then Scotland. It's been all go, and quite tiring, but what a treat to be able to see and do so much. 020
