The view from my "office"

On the sparrow’s UL ride DEL-CMB today. My first time on UL. The FA very kindly kept plying me with Heidsieck all the way. Brilliant priority luggage handling - a sign on the belt preceded the very neatly-placed priority bags. Mine was first out. The other bags came out quite separately later - but I was long gone :cool:.

We came, we saw, we conquered ;) :cool::).

Lion Rock, Sigirya, Sri Lanka. Only four on the tour. My #1 son has joined me and the others are an Australian couple. It’s the very beginning of the season - and sadly tourist numbers in Sri Lanka are still down because of the events of last April.
 
Where is the bevvy of scantily clad females who usually hang around Dan? Did he fly there in a private jet? :rolleyes:
 
Quick trip to FNQ to do basically nothing.

Up and back on the A330's in J (MEL>SYD>CNS). Nothing special, no pics. Food awful, service OK. Weather perfect.

Cycling some back roads in Sri Lanka today, stop at a home in a small village for a curry-cooking demonstration and then an array of home-prepared traditional Sri Lankan food for lunch. Son JohnM, who knows how to pack away the food, getting into it. I keep telling him he needs to build himself up... 😜
