The view from my "office"

I'm going to have to try a few more Soave now - any recommendations?

Getting OT. Better for the wine thread, but Pieropan is probably the benchmark for Soaves available in Australia.

Downtown Mexico City, festival day!




The walk back to my hotel. it was like this for a few km.

Earlier today, Teotihuacán office.

Pyramid of the sun (right) and of the moon



Long way up ...



'Course I climbed it!



Then down again:



Now happily ensconced in the Hilton Exec Club for drinks and snacks. I tipped the barman/waiter well the first night and OK the second night. Tonight he greeted me by name and has been topping up quite enthusiastically!



I can't believe the air quality in Mexico City. Not crystal, but not bad either, considering ...

A lovely day in the city watching sailing races, dinner at Doyle’s Watson’s bay followed by a ferry trip back to the quay. Sydney on a perfect day!

Great Sunday morning at Point Lookout (North Straddie) with perfect body surfing conditions.

Could have stayed in the water for hours

Well as Burty said on the news last night - the water is as warm as a bath !

I have been most remiss, in my postings, of late......predominantly because my hotel stays consist of HI at Dunstall Park and Hilton Metropole at The NEC, Birmingham........However I have a new Hilton to add to my soon to be ending travels. The Hilton Canary Wharf London. Now in an earlier life this would have been located on the Isle of Dogs but it appears that this might not to be quite posh enough so Canary wharf it is. As an aside trying to find a decent pub on The Isle of Dogs is a nightmare - it is just a mass of of glass and steel and "gastropubs" serving Italian lager. Fortunately Sir Ian McKellen's pub, The Grapes is about a 20 min walk away.

Now......I reckon there is loads of scope for a car park in my latest view, but fear it will be turned into an office block rather than a decent multi storey car park.

A few of us from AFF had a Sunday roast there many years ago, nice little pub.

LAX office

More LAX office



I love LAX! Second time in 10 days straight through security ( as in straight onto the X-ray machine), once at 7am, ( no Business line) this time at 11:30 am with the business line.

And, just to prove that I wasn't lying about often riding around that part of Canning River shown yesterday by Daver6. My wife and I went there this morning and she decided to take a couple of photos without my asking. The sharp-eyed will notice that we are both riding electric bikes. We have had them for about a month as my knees have slowed me down on hills and my wife claims I ride too fast for her.

The view from my LHR office... Got my baby?

Hagia Sophia office, Istanbul. Never tire of this one

Shame I can't take any photos of the drive to my current office, just south of Manchester... Football player territory for some of the big clubs. HUGE gated houses, ugly green Lamborghini's in the drive...
