The view from my "office"

Size difference is very obvious

But does it matter?

If you believe the weather forecast, today will see the last fine day at Broadbeach

Madeira

Surprised to see lots of eucalyptus trees here. Terracing is amazing and very small plots with manual labour. Banana and sugar cane plantations mixed amongst houses

Today we have a neighbour in Melbourne. Size difference is very obvious. Viking Orion.

Oh, I meant to mention I saw you (well, your ship) from Williamstown. Not exactly beach weather yesterday compared to the 35° on Saturday!

This sounds great, wherever these places are! I am the only one that does not know ANY of these airport codes?

I guess the car park view is OK-ish. Honestly, I would’ve been tempted to ask for something better.

Look at all that wind?! Real bugga putting a big slab of a vessel alongside in a wind, and I bet it blows there constantly.

No more blowy there than anywhere else. Same place 24 hrs prior.

I hope you have now looked them up and are continuing to learn.

The only one I haven't flown in or out of is GVA.

Back in 2016 when I went to Madagascar, it was always touch and go whether the TLE-TNR flight would operate to plan. IIRC, at least then, Air Madagascar had only one B737 and they were notorious for changing things at the last moment.

Meandering in Madagascar & a little more ambling in Africa…via the Hunter Valley

Sheesh, they had a 737? Such luxury. All ATR-72s on that flight currently and yes......... Air Maybe is still very much living up to its name The additional day on my journey home is to allow for whether the TLE-TNR flight does happen (or not). Often retimed last minute, or cancelled, or delayed by 11 hours..... Such is Air Mad!

However you will have to be careful not to be murdered. According to the "Shetland" TV show it is almost as dangerous a place as Midsomer.
