Gestern habe ich zum ersten Mal whrend meiner ber 7 Jahre in Mnchen im Hofbruhaus gegessen, nachdem ich schon einmal vor ein paar Jahren dort durchgegangen bin und mehrmals davor gestanden habe. Da ich im Moment ja weitegehend Home Office habe, war ich an diesem Wochenende wie an so vielen anderen zur Zeit in der Stadt. Am Nachmittag habe ich noch Tour de France gekuckt und ein paar Dinge in World Read on...
While we pray for the people in Florida that are going to be hit today by Hurricane Ian, the weather here is also changeable.
We went to the Spanish Lagoon for birding again, around 8, and then came back for breakfast. Still no more humming birds.
Then we packed up to drive to the right side of Baby Beach to check out the turtles. This is where we took Tom and Amy, and we have to say – with em Read on...
Sunday walk around the Thean Hou Temple, although opened now for a couple of years I had never visited.... followed by a bit of a road trip to some new signs in Langkawi. Nice Sunday out.
Thean Hou Temple is a major Chinese temple in Langkawi. This is the newest and biggest Chinese temple on the island. The temple was in late 2017. It was built for the veneration of Mazu, the Chinese sea goddess, Read on...
On our bucket list of places to visit was the QANTASMuseumand the Stockmans Hall of Fame, both in Longreach. After a reasonable drive – 106km – to Longreach we stopped off first of all at the QANTAS Founders Museum. We checked in at 10:15 to be told that there were no more tours available that day, but we were to wander through the museum and the original hangar (built in 1921). We should have Read on...
I have been rather naughty today . I have broken Covid guidelines . I have travelled further than 5 miles from home . I have driven from Wales into England . I had a parcel to pick up at the nearest Post Office . The nearest had proved inaccessible due to flooding so the next nearest was about 8 miles down the road in the next county of Cheshire and the next country of England. I needed to get out Read on...
Today was a bus day. We left Granada at 8:00AM with a quick stop at the top of the mountain to take some pictures below. We didnt get to see much of Granada, but I dont think we missed much, just your typical European city. As the bus headed east, the scenery alternated between mountains and farmlands. Occasionally we could see the Mediterranean, and the seaside houses and apartments that went wit Read on...
Another early start as I was off to another UNESCO World heritage Village today, the village of Xidi. I headed back to the bus station to get the 8 am bus. I was going to take the official bus today, as the minivans dont run to Xidi, but drop you on the main road, which is about a 3 km walk away from the village. Some bloke found out the hard way in the mini van the day before. The bus journey was Read on...

We have just a short 50minute drive down to Greymouth today before we give the Corolla back and join the Trans Alpine train to head to Christchurch. So getting up and having breakfast didnt seem a priority to us.
The day wasnt quite as good as it has been for the last few days with more cloud overhead and out to sea although there was promise that it might clear once the sun could poke through.

Since I was staying put today the day began with bacon, eggs and toast. I cook bacon and eggs ever Sunday at home but a little more often while camping. I rarely ate eggs in the past 55 years but its another source of protein and cooking them over easy still lets me dip my toast in the yoke like I did as a child with a soft boiled egg that mom would prepare. I still dont enjoy egg whites to be hon Read on...
