Holidos and don’ts – souvenirs

Now the only thing you need to know about souvenirs is this…

The answer is a fridge magnet.

They’re small, cheap (no, don’t blame me) and easy to pack away.

And they provide a picture, or pictures, of the place you’ve been to.

Let’s not flip-flop around the issue: https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/malta-easer/

Of course, they range in price.

I paid €2 for this one in Barcelona, outside La Sagrada Familia.

And I was spitting to discover that I could have got the same one down a side street for €1!

Catch of the day. https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/2019/08/12/atoll-tale-the-maldives/

These are a few thoughts on that great city and that weird church. https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/2019/06/30/hes-from-barcelona/ https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/2019/07/13/holiday-snaps-la-sagreda-familia/ And visit http://www.barcelonatourisme.com.

And here’s the said magnet in the main pic.

That reminds me. I will bring you my review from Barcelona with Celebrity Cruises on the FlowRider on Oasis of the Seas. http://www.celebritycruises.ie

This Memphis magnet tilts into Elvis: https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/elvispresley-the-king-of-kings/ And how about Philly https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/philadelphia-freedom/ and Boulder and https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/go-west-denver-buffalo-bill/

So let my Barcelona experience be a lesson for us all.

Watch out… don’t buy your magnets in a tourist trap, and Las Ramblas is the same. Or an airport.

Magnetic pulls

The ones below remind me of more poignant trips.. on the Via Francigena into Rome http://www.FrancigenaWays.com on https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/small-roads-lead-to-rome/

Fridge magnets are fun and funky and sometimes functional.

Here’s a recipe. And a review of nearby Washington. https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/home/easy-dc-2/

You get the bottle openers, the mini-notepads, the ones that will hold a photo.

And a matchbox one that one of my guys broke… you owe me big time!

A bit screwy, but: And here’s my Dresden review https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/dresdens-renaissance-martin-luther/

So, some snobby folk will look down their noses at you when they see the collection on your fridge.

But stuff them, these keepsakes will cheer you up when you open the door for your milk in the morning.

What a picture: And here’s my Florida review https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/aaawlando-orlando-the-rollercoaster-capital/

And you can be sure that it’s the gift that everybody can use.

After all we’ve come a long way from salting our meat in the side of a hill…

We all have a fridge now.

The bigger the better

And if your fridge isn’t big enough then that’s a hint that you need a new fridge.

You’ve been warned.

There’s more magnets I haven’t included that I will, and more trips and magnets to collect.

But let’s leave you with a family of Trolls… it’s not a self-portrait despite the noses.

We’re all scary. http://The call of the fjords
