The view from my "office"

[RooFlyer]

Malcolm Fraser of course.The Island is a shrine to him.

Correct. Lots of little Malcolms growing all over the place.

Another evening, another office ...

Petra, Jordan. Right now..



Stunning .

Don't start a dividing fence argument ... you may lose!

Is this QFWP's neighbour??

Thankfully not but nice that you still remember BindiBuys. Still not even got Council approval yet as one neighbour objected to the plans (after ignoring everything we gave them over the past 2 months). Don't start me - 25.5 months and counting.

Nobody wants to see our view for that period of time. Debilitating would be accurate.

My view tonight for 30 mins (but thankfully it wasn't me there)

Is that a room at a Ibis Styles?

Oh just. Just. It ain't Autumn here. This tree has no leaves during winter and it's still nice and green.

My home office view. This is our neighbours McMansion.

Cost around $1.5 million to build. It has an incredibly expensive cellar but owner doesn't drink. Has windows that cost $15k per frame. (Bullet proof?). And it's goddam ugly. This is an older area of Adelaide - old Tudors and some are being redeveloped. Most build 'new old' which look gorgeous.

Eek hope that's not in the Burnside council area but I bet it is

New York was like that. First week in November. Hottest November day in Boston for years and wearing T shirts. Drove across to NYC and the same. Within a day it flicked a switch and we had to go buy gloves and hats as it was freezing. Wonderful!

34 here for the rest of the week. Still summer here but it takes hours to heat up and then it cools off at night. Very nice in fact.

Nice at Henley Beach on the jetty tonight - hoping for some rain this weekend

Previous Petra view was the classic Treasury. Stroll up about 900 steps to the Monastery right now...

And a well-earned freshly-squeezed pomegranate and orange juice...

I would love to see this place one day in person!

It is quite extraordinary and Jordan is a wonderful place with very friendly, welcoming people.

Walked >20km today and have another day in there tomorrow, including a climb to another view point. Also going to do Petra by Night tomorrow night.

Weather is perfect: c. 21 deg, cloudless and no wind.

 

[RooFlyer]

Same weather here View to our office for the next 3 days (with LATAM flight about to return to Easter Island).

We also found the Jordanians very friendly.Pity though the effects some less than friendly neighbours have had.From your pics JohnM seems that there are a lot less tourists there.

 

[Bindibuys]

There was hardly any tourists back in October.....


20km on foot or cheat like we did?



I refused to ride in the carriages, seeing the way the horses were slipping down the siq, but happy to pay "George" to use his mules.

View from Tahiti airport motel I presume? Are you flying back to Oz via AKL on a QF codeshare on TN? Can this be booked as part of a OW product? I've been wanting to do SYD-SCL-IPC-PPT-AKL-SYD but not sure how to book this.

 

[drron]

We were able to do this a few years ago on a Global explorer ticket beginning BNE-AKL-PPT-IPC-SCL.

 

[JohnM]

It was fairly busy with tourists but I don't know how it is relative to other years at this time.

Of course the 20 km was on foot, BB .
