Leider macht mein rechter Fu noch immer ordentlich Stress, auch wenn er schon deutlich besser ist, sodass wir uns fr eine relativ flache Wanderung entscheiden. In der Ribeira Inferno gibt es diverse Tunnel und es findet zu unserer berraschung zeitgleich ein statt.
Wir starten also gemchlich und laufen neben und auf der breiten Levada entlang, die mit Regenbogenforellen voll ist. Recht bald gibt Read on...
After a nothing sort of day yesterday it was lovely to now be in Norway. Our first port of call Stavanger.
It was still getting light as we arrived, all the white wooden buildings looking so pretty in the morning light.
Our tour today was a boat trip cruising The Lysefjord. Sadly we hadnt been on board for very long before the rain started. There was the opportunity to go up onto the top deck wh Read on...
The weather looks great for some outdoor activities today and its not so cold. We set off to Larnach Castle which should be on everyones list as its a rare sight indeed in New Zealand. The drive with great views over the harbour took a winding and steep road across the hilltops many kilometres out of Dunedin. What a magnificent location! The original owner and builder of the castle was portrayed a Read on...

For those of you who have got the Tina Arena reference in the title...congratulations, you are old and probably spent some time in Australia and New Zealand in the 90s. It was the first thing that came to mind when I found out I was going to be staying in Sorrento on our romantic getaway to Italy and I had assumed that Ms. Arena was singing about this beautiful cliffside town. Turns out she was si Read on...
Cusco has gone back into a tighter quarantine/lockdown. Transportation in and out of the city is again limited to supply chain necessities, which I appreciate because the selection of fresh fruit and vegetables hasnt changed.
I was woken up today by a call from my parents. My Dad had bought me a cake and put candles in it to celebrate today being my one year anniversary living in Cusco. It doesnt Read on...
At last we got to worship at the New Life Tabernacle again – only to find that it is their very last time to be at this place – or any one central place. They are decentralizing in order to do more intensive outreach to needy areas,, starting in the rougher city of San Nicolas, and do continue establishing small groups called life houses. It was good to see some familiar faces and to worship s Read on...
My latest adventure with Trekkup was a whirlwind weekend tour of Uzbekistan: Silk and Spice weekend. I had been trying to do this popular trip for over a year now (thanks Covid and Saudi!). I was a little mentally exhausted due to my busy busy work schedule, but I needed to do this one. Initially we only had 5 or 6 people sign up in our group; at first, I was bummed because this is supposed to be Read on...
Well yesterday was a quiet one we just walked to the lake etc and took it easy so decided to give you all a day off from reading my blog.
So next day we set off to Saint Emilion and Goose was back on form using the map and also his trusty Sat Nav but to be honest until the last bit we were on not bad roads. We stop for diesel and Goose gives me 20 euros to get a coffee - I think if I need 20 euro Read on...
This was a bit of a nerve racking day for all involved, Thea has been in Telaga Marina around 5 years and due to circumstances has not been out in that time. So it was a slog getting all the systems up and running in order to move her! But boy what a day!
My friend Gerry was captain, he brought his engineer Greg to help Brent in the engine room, I had Anwar onboard as another pair of hands and Ge Read on...
