The view from my "office"

[prozac]

Nothing so exotic as others, today I give my office in transit.
The mighty Hawkesbury River. Surprisingly difficult to photograph from a jiggling train, with graffiti etched into the windows.
Bridge just visible in the distance.

"When my baby, when my baby smiles at me I go to Woy Woy, Near Umina" Did you sing along and get the tune?


Onward to Newcastle.

No-one tried the song?
Sung to the tune of "I go to Rio"- Peter Allen

I wonder if you will have Dr Howard Gray as a guide? He is just wonderful. If you have the chance or can find it, read his book "Lucretia's Batavia Diary".
Have a great trip.
Have a great time. The area is fascinating.

He was on our cruise as well, and he sells his books on the cruise !!

Then hit the top of the clouds:



Then descending to my destination airport, one of the most iconic sights:

Looks a little small and unimpressive compared to some of the carparks I've seen posted on AFF....

That sounds a bit tacky for Silversea.

It wasn't a Silverseas cruise - it was the Eco Abrolhos !!

He was on our cruise as well, and he sells his books on the cruise !!

Howard didn't have any of his books with him when on Coral Discoverer's Abrolhos cruise from Broome to Fremantle, and probably realised he should have brought some aboard. He is always learning! There were only two copies in the library, and none for sale in the "shop". I wanted to buy a copy.

He does come on certain of these cruises, but not this one.

He’s staying at the bin chicken. Small and unimpressive is very on-brand.

Dinner cruise on the Danube in Budapest

I mentioned in an earlier post the large amount of roadwork underway in Queenstown.

The locals have taken to calling it “Conestown” due to all the fluorescent orange cones use to close roads and redirect traffic.

But whoever designed the signs for the pedestrians clearly likes music of a certain vintage…







A few days into our trip we’d heard from several people that Coronet Peak was closing a week early due to there not being enough snow.

Turned out to be wrong, but the rumour took off.

As a result everyone went to the Remarkables and at times we had entire ski runs to ourself.

Miss H with no one else in sight.



There was one day when staff said they had the mountain open for 138 people.

It made selecting a table difficult.



There were almost as many paragliders as there were skiers.

Auckland QF J lounge, I spy a car park (of sorts) in the far (very far) distance!

Another tough day at the Office, office

@RooFlyer I only can pick out one person in that line up that was on our cruise - and that is Jay the owner !

 

[Mrmrbagley]

Enjoyed a sunny, warm departure from Townsville. Great view of the city, Pallarenda, Castle Hill, Strand and even got in the Maggie ferry. Landing in Sydney was a little more gloomy

Sonia, his wife is on the right. She was on board for the seafood and wine evenings.

Sunday office in Cuenca

Car park front & center as it should be!





















Carpark with Parador attached




What happens when you don't take time to fully comprehend the menu before ordering. You get a burger in a cage with Caramel topping plus a side of fairy floss...

Still in the Netherlands, Hotel Heere in Raamsdonksveer.


Does this qualify as a car park?
