The view from my "office"

From my 4K office about 10 years ago - AKL-LAX on QF25, shortly after departure:

Can hardly travel anywhere these days so mind as well exploring our own states. Some photos from North QLD:





Port Douglas / Four Mile Beach





Babinda Boulders



Paronella Park







Lake Eacham

From the 6th floor balcony of a clients unit on the Southern End of Kangaroo Point, with views both ways from the corner of the river. Was a bit chilly to stay out there for the meeting:

Not feeling wonderful this morning but nature has a way of brightening up the day.
Sitting on the patio having morning coffee when spotted some visitors arriving.

Didn't have anything suitable for swans so off they went.
..

But they did a swim past on their way back.

Geez. We are off there next week!

 

[Flashback]

So good to be back! LHR T5 FLounge. So sad to see all the 777, 747 and A380s parked up around the fringe of the airport. Turns out our neighbours are flying at the same time as us so guested their 2 daughters in, they're so excited. It's great! Glad to share the experience. You forget how uncommon it is to use, especially First Class.

It is a beautiful day in PQQ and supposed to stay that way all week. Whales are going past on their way home

 

[Flashback]

Rimini is your typical seaside town... And yes, there are some guys riding a double blow up bed in the sea! (2nd last photo)









The Adriatic Sea was really warm though and just enough swell for a nice swim for an hour with a bit of crashing against the waves. Much warmer than the English sea I tried a few weeks ago anyway....!

I'm trying very hard not to press the report button so we're not subjected to any more of these photos but the nicer part of me refrained. Hope you have a wonderful time and nice to see someone is able to escape the real world for a while.

Rimini also has a quaint little historical centre too, which I'd definitely recommend checking out.




Ponte di Tiberio bridge

Castle Sismondo

Porta Montanara, thought to be over 2000 years old.


Dinner at La Bussola, Mrs FB had the veg Ravioli and I tried the Strozzapreti with asparagus and sausage which was nice.

Mmm gelato!
