On the Road Again!

Well. if you don't specify to the NNth degree what you want .... I'm going to use the kids' drawing style picture somewhere on a social media profile.

What the absolute bollocks is this?  The old guy is Me FFS.

More ChatGPT and Gemini updates to the Devall Travels logo. This one adds the Red Rose of Lancashire for part of my heritage. I really like the last one with the Union Flag and the Invicta horse from where we live in Kent.

I thought I'd have a look at ChatGPT for some ideas of places to go.  Setting some ideas of places to go with scenic roads, Roman Spain and Portugal, Porto and then back along the Douro  It came up with this.  Not too bad as our trip from start to end is 21 days. This plan would leave us around the Spanish border.  From there it would be around 1900kms back to Calais for the boat home with a stop to get Reggie his worming pill and passport updated. He will also need a rabies booster. From this foray into the world of AI I think it will be back to looking at the maps and the "Rough Guide to Spain". The method we have used before. This AI suggested itinerary simply doesn't give us enough time to get back to the port and fit in a vet visit 24 hours plus a few minutes before we arrive in Dover.

The wonders of ChatGPT.
