Who would have thought it? I woke up expecting to walk on Day 78 but things did not go quite as expected. As always, because I dont sleep that well I woke at 6.15. Glenn quietly said Its raining Its been raining all night . Half expecting it to be fine enough to walk I got out of bed , walked over to the window peered out through half closed eyes and it was indeed wet on the patio. It was still Read on...
Nachdem ich gestern noch in der Ville Nouvelle etwas zum Abendessen bekam und abends noch den Fuballspielern vor dem Hotel von meinem netten Balkon aus zusah, schlief ich letzte Nacht etwas besser, als in der ersten. Man hrt hier den Muezzin Ruf ber den Lautsprecher, aber das war kein groes Problem.
Nachdem Frhstck, wo ich wieder den trkischen Honig oder Nougat - ich wei leider nicht, was das fr Read on...
Since I am always in Carneros to visit Domaine Carneros, there are other stops, some of which might be quite good:
Saintsbury: Learn more about what means here. Founders Richard Ward and David Graves named their winery after the famous English scholar and wine lover. The wines here can be lush and rich.
Bouchaine: With its first vines planted in the 1800s, Bouchaine claims to be the oldest cont Read on...
Another decent morning for cycling with a little sunshine and not too much wind. Our route was through Chatburn to Sawley and then round the radio mast, clockwise, back to Bolton by Bowland and home via Sawley and Chatburn.
Our virtual journey would be leaving Valence on the Via Rhona which goes out through the port. On route we see castles perched high on rocky out crops. We pass hundreds of an Read on...
Waking long before dawn on Thursday morning - my eleventh day on the Larapinta Trail - Id not even gotten out of my tent when a group of guided hikers strode through the campsite sounding like an army battalion marching into battle. With no vehicle access between Serpentine Gorge and Ormiston Gorge 30km away, they would have to knock off that entire distance in one long day. But for those of us th Read on...
I have had some short blogs in the past but this one might just turn out to be the shortest of them all. If you go in a straight line the Hamptons is only about 20 miles away from us - the problem is there is a sound right in between us so it takes about 3 - 4 hours to get there by car. Unfortunately we have not gone there as much as we would like to.
We have made a couple short trips over the ye Read on...
Il a plu une bonne partie de la nuit. Le ciel est trs nuageux quand on se rveille et il fait plutt frais ce matin, environ degrs.
On range nos affaires et on quitte notre AirBnB. Il tait trs bien, et ca nous a permis davoir une nourriture plus saine. Enfin, des pates au beurre !
Il est dix heure quand on prend la route en direction du parc de Yosemite, en empruntant la Tioga road, un col qui tr Read on...
We were taking our time this morning and I was working at the table when I noticed a right into the campground. He hung out and ate until being spooked by a big class A came by and scared him off. After this we drove to Jester Park, IA to camp for the night.
Nates perspective for the day: Today was just a short drive an hour between campsites for a one night stop over to see the High Trestle Brid Read on...
First we stopped at Lindas Pancakes to give the Grace & Mercy coins to our two new friends, then off to Mangel Halto for an excellent drift snorkel. It was choppy but not a bad current. Could have been sunnier for the photos but we saw lots of good stuff, as you will see. Once again thwarted at Zee Rovers – they sold us grouper but no cooking going on there until tomorrow thru Sunday. We had als Read on...
The festive lights of Birmingham with the ferris wheel turning was really pretty as we started our virtual tour with Heygo.
It was interesting to hear from Ian how Birminghams German market was set up in 1997, known more formally as the Frankfurt Christmas Market Birmingham because from the German twin city.
Kurt Stroscher, Frankfurt City Councils director of festivals and events, came up with t Read on...
