The view from my "office"

[Port Power]

It’s always good to be in the MEL First Class Lounge. Never happier to be WP than today. The queue for QF check in was winding around the airport! So nice to breeze into the reopened kerbside F check in. I had to wait 10 minutes for my son to arrive from his cousin’s house, but was quite comfy painting my nails.

No: QF. These two just happened to be outside the lounge windows.

You on the water? I've been looking at boat hire.

Hi
Yes we have been on canal in Alsace Lorraine, between Saverne & Nancy for last 2 weeks.
Weather has been unbelievable.

Did you arrange through Le Boat in Australia?
Was arranging same for September before my setback. There's always next year, right.
How did you you travel to your embarkation marina? Surely you didn't leave a rental car parked for 2 weeks.
Have also looked at doing a tour of Friesian towns by boat. Ottenhome Heeg Verhuur - Bootverhuur & Meer - HISWA

And for prozac.
Happy to relate our experience but have a couple of busy days ahead.
But to answer couple of questions.

If interest i can put together a mini report when home in July.

What a spectacular place to finish my 6 week Central Europe trip - Beld, Slovenia!

 

[jase05]

Lake Bled is one of most favourite spots there is. I miss those views

Coming up to the winter solstice the sunset is further north so need a different spot to get a photo.

A couple of pics from my office the last couple of days.

First time in Greece and throughly enjoyed the hospitality but the Aegean is still freezing at this time of year…




Amazing approach into GVA on a Swiss A220 where I polished off the Duval Leroy. The European star alliance carriers have blown me away, particular Aegean, who were amazing.

Flew right by Mont Blanc



After a smooth transit it’s happy hour in FRA

 

[Bindibuys]

Lounge at SEA.
1 of 3 flights done.

Absolutely. Can't beat the SA coverage in Europe for getting around there by air.

 

[Pushka]

Aegean Air and Vietnam Air have been my picks for unexpected good flights.
