The view from my "office"

Arrived in one piece; 50 mins. Not very exciting ride.

Our office for the last week has been in Rarotonga. The net was a bit slow and pricey . swanning_it wanted a few more photos.



Our room was top left

There are only 30 rooms and a no children policy

Amazing who you see in a carpet hanging on a wall in Tehran ...






(JC was, amongst other things, a Prophet).

 

[JohnM]

Funny who you run into in the Tehran office canteen... .

Or, looking at it another way ... "Lotus Combo" at vegetarian restaurant attached to an artists' gallery/workshop complex. Really nice; with a lemonade thrown in plus a carrot juice, a measly 460,000 rials; I was feeling generous, so left 'em half a mill.

I wondered where JohnM and Rooflyer were at the moment, thanks for the photos.

I forgot this photo on Saturday's flight AKL-BNE. We were about an hour from descent into BNE.

I did not realize there were coral reefs that far South

What was the flight number?

 

[Major]

What was the flight number?

VA153

 

[Guvner]

VA 153 flew just south of Elizabeth Reef on Saturday about 70 mins out of Brisbane (according to Flightradar) so I'd suggest that is what is in the photo.

Funny coincidence, I leant only just today via a Reader Digest in a dental surgery, that the coral adapts to colder water but suffers the same bleaching with warming sea temperatures. A one degree rise is a one degree rise and apparently it doesn't matter the starting temp, be it 18 to 19 or 24 to 25, the coral suffers the same amount of stress and will bleach equally as much. Curious, I thought.
