Where next?

Prague for 1st May; the Baltic states sometime; Ireland to walk in the Wicklow mountains if I can find a companion. I've had vague thoughts of going to Bulgaria with my Russophone brother sometime. Poland: if my reaction to certain kinds of problems at work is "I can always give up and farm onions in Poland", I suppose I should go there and see what the onion-farming would be like. Somewhere on the Mediterranean where the snorkelling's good. That's enough travelling for several years to come.

I'm much less well-travelled than my parents, who have been to places that I know only as names in Flashman books - Kathmandu, Varanasi, Jaipur, Beijing, Inner Mongolia; planning Petra, Cairo, Luxor, Phnom Penh, Angkor Wat - though by the standards of any but the last fifty years I'm absurdly well-travelled for age 26.
