The view from my "office"

[Flashback]

Party time in Cork, won't let a bit of bad weather get in the way!

The office for the next seven days, MS Monarch Baroness, departing Budapest tomorrow. Another city every day, but only unpack once.

Last views from northern Portugal, not the result I wanted, but 2nd and 3rd is ok. Notice kangaroo flag, a couple from Brisvegas on a different companies tour. I said Woolies, Australia Day promotion! I also have several flags in my bag to give as gifts......




The codriver of this car is an Australian, married to a Dutch guy. Formally Rebecca Smart.



Madrid tomorrow, then Nice on Tuesday and I didn't even know that Monaco GP was on next week.... I wouldn't have gone anywhere near the place if I had realised!

Not San Francisco (though the same colour - orange - as the Golden Gate and the same same builder as original Oakland Bay Bridge):


(25 de Abril bridge, Lisbon)

Sunset looking back towards Wellington - they do some cracking sunsets here

Found some birds nesting in an interesting place near the Bulgarian / Serbian border crossing.

Down and dirty indeed @drron! Good service recovery though, comping your stay. Now we need more beauty to erase your shocking images from our memory.



Sailing out of Budapest shortly after sunset.

Beautiful, another place to add to the bucket list!

I am not sure it was a good idea to get involved with this thread. The list is now growing faster than ever and definitely faster than I can tick destinations off.

Of course tram 2 and the oldest metro line in continental Europe, also the cog railway to Széchenyi-hegy on a mountain just NW of the city.

I am working my way through “the world’s 10 best tram rides”. Only 1, 2 and 3 left. I only found this list after I had been to Toronto and Seattle, good reason to go back there again.

1. Queen Streetcar, Toronto

2. George Benson Waterfront Streetcar, Seattle

3. St. Charles Streetcar Tour, New Orleans

4. Streetcar F, San Francisco

5. Trams van Hong Kong

6. Tram 96, Melbourne

7. Tram 2, Budapest

8. Tram 68, Berlin

9. Tram 2, Amsterdam

10. Tram 28, Lisbon

Great list. Im missing No. 10. But there are quite a few to do and it would be great to draw up the "big" list. Done many trams/street cars in Japan, Stockholm, Helsinki, etc, etc,. As never driven a car, public transport is a must for me, so i enjoy it.

And now for something completely different



Diavolezza Engadin Switzerland. From one of these.

When in Seattle, I must recommend a visit to the CHIHULY GARDEN AND GLASS Gallery, next the the Space Needle. An astonishing and unique Gallery.

Yes Chihuly is simply stunning. Definitely not to be missed in Seattle.

Do also try the oyster bar at the Fairmont. Falls into the same category.

Public transport is my preference if it is convenient. Recently used JFK AirTrain and NYC subway and Budapest 100E bus to get to/from airports. We had a car in Scotland, but still wanted to ride the Edinburgh tram on our last day there. A very long lunch with friends caused us to run out of time.

We will be in Stockholm in few weeks, another tram opportunity.
