Surprising, with the PM in Peru. GG+?

Firstly at home in the London burbs, had to chuckle about our bird feeder looking like an acorn so with the right framing it looked like the squirrel was going at it

there's about 2m between the pergola where it was and the shed that the bird feeder is hung off.

Our brunch office was in town at Granary Square (King's Cross) to try out an audiophile cafe/coughtail bar. Check out that sound system!

On the way to Vang Vieng from Vientiane, probably won't be back here, I wanted to avoid the ccp train, but had go a short way on the ccp expressway.
Some was 120kph, but mostly 100. If you can drive at 120 on a motorway in a third world country, why not Australia?
Anyway, various shots.
Vang Vieng was a backpackers paradise, until they kept killing themselves through drunkenness and combining with tubing and the like. Now it's very popular with Koreans as one of their reality series was filmed here.

Well actually you can. But damn radar is problematic

OK, if you can drive legally at 120kph, why not Oz?

Don't know if I mentioned elsewhere, a friend in Germany was stopped by the
Police as he was doing 260kph on an unrestricted autobahn. He asked the officers if he was doing anything wrong, they said "no", but maybe it was just a bit too fast!

Contrary to popular belief, not all autobahns in Germany are unlimited.

Where that is the case though, it is clearly signposted.
