The view from my "office"

[Flashback]

The bailey bridge replacing the destroyed one was at a very popular waterfall sport on the Una river, most vehicles including a bus carried Serb plates. This was where I thought I could cross the border.

Now at Silo on Krk island looking across to the mainland, our last night in Croatia.
The boss says I’m being to critical, but I doubt I will come back to Croatia, for me Sardinia, especially Alghero has more to offer, but as usual, ymmv.
Dubrovnik is nice, but given the number of tourists now, I would hate to be there in high season. Some photos are out of order.

Even on shoulder season I found DBV cringeworthy. 1 day at most, then move on somewhere else. Shame as it was a lovely looking place otherwise, but...... GoT..........

My office tonight, taking a break from working in my room to visit the bar on Level 18 of DoubleTree Perth Waterfront.

Truly is a 360 degree view both from inside and the outside deck. Took a brisk walk outside around the whole deck to confirm.

Definitely coming back here on my subsequent visits - good for mattress run and a change of scenery (from Parmelia Hilton)

How was your usual haunt for lunch?

This morning at sunrise

Ok that qualifies for the mandatory "car park" view

Beer o’clock, Silo, had to come here as in a previous life I erected silos in northern Europe.



The poor little thing was shivering with cold, Max would be twice the size of this dog!

Well, tonight was even better. A spectacular light show to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III

Tonight’s office is changing rapidly courtesy LX.

The first part of BLQ-ZRH proceeded as expected. First time on an A220: nice new aircraft; quiet in row 4.
However ZRH-NCE has been a bit of musical planes.
Delay 40 minutes.
Delay another 30 minutes.
Board our E190-E2 and settle into my exit row seat.
Taxi, then instead of lining up, we commence a roll (taxi speed) down the runway and take the first exit.
Proceed to a stand off gate whilst maintenance does some trouble shooting.
Deplane.
So, now back in the Swiss SEN lounge ZRH. At least it’s a nice lounge.


Let’s see if we get away tonight.

Update:
We’re on a new jet at 2000h. Swiss efficiency.
They’ve clearly just rolled this one out of the hanger as it has that classic aircraft POL smell.
Damn, it’s an E190-E1 and my exit row seat is now a rather tight standard whY seat two rows behind the exit row.

Take 2

Somewhat depressing (subjectively, of course) view today, IFE-wise …. Onboard QF67 A330 so was expecting the much larger IFE screen … but got the old ones …

Edit 1: And the hand rest with the controls is making it hard to place my arm … FWP !!

Edit 2 : And the slot where headphones go ain’t working well …

Edit 3 : And we are delayed …

Edit 4 : to quote Frank Costanza “Serenity, now!”

We went from a warm sunny Croatia to a dull, wet, cold Franfurt!

Actually it was the other way, 9 degrees on the coast to a very pleasant 17 at 8:20 pm
in Gernsheim on the Rhine, south of Frankfurt.
Some may recognise this private landing spot.
