The view from my "office"

Vela Luka in Croatia. Beautiful. We’ve done a wine tasting, liquor tasting and grappa today. Then 2 wines with dinner. They fill the glasses here, none of this standard size drink rubbish. Bedtime now but for the moment I’ll leave this

Don't know how he is doing this, probably resting on some sort of frame, anyway it was entertaining and deserved a couple euros for petrol. He would acknowledge your 'tip' by waving his left hand.

Palma town.
 
The Hohensalzburg Fortress dominates the Salzburg skyline and affords great views over the city.

Most tourist activities around town are related to Mozart or The Sound of Music. Mozart was born in this yellow building. Note that there is a supermarket on the ground floor, which seems a bit incongruous.

One of the city’s pedestrian bridges is adorned by thousands upon thousands of “love locks”, placed there by couples who want to declare their eternal love by then throwing the keys in the river.

After visiting many busy, touristy cities in the last few weeks we wanted to escape to a quiet country town. Hallstatt seemed to fit the bill, but too many bus tours have discovered it!

We drove a bit further around the Hallstätter See and found a quiet waterside café for lunch in Obertraun.

From there we could have taken the swan paddle boat or the electric ferry to spend some time on the water.

The view from tonight’s office, a small hotel in Zell am See, a town on another beautiful lake.

After a good lunch we did not feel the need to go out for dinner. We bought a bottle of wine, cheese, salami and crackers and had a picnic on our balcony.

Una noche en Madrid.( a night in Madrid).

Nice G&T, early pizza (9:30) in (la Calle del diséñano) the street of disillusion/disappointment. But it wasn’t. Have eaten here twice and was quite good.
