The view from my "office"

[Port Power]

So what do you do when you are going to board a cruise ship the day before you board?
Simple. Go and have lunch on a different ship.
Benoa Bali.

Which ship? I’ve been invited to tour and have lunch on Crystal Serenity on Wednesday week. I doubt I’ll ever cruise Crystal, but why not enjoy the experience? Enjoy!

Edit. Oops, I was forgetting. Mysty and Myster.

Very unexpectedly stumbled across this looking for something else in Tokyo

Lovely to see what looks like an old Escort rising to the challenge!

They are very common still, in fact you can buy a brand new mk1 or mk2. There is a rally in Belgium which is just Escorts. Chimay Rallye.

Yesterday was wet, and a couple of big crashes, but weather today is great.

You were in one of my 'ancestral' homes. My grandfather was born in Timaru in1886. His father had come out as a youth during the large scale migration of Scots to the south island of NZ. His mother was from Tasmania.

The view from my window in Trieste. I can’t see any cars but I can hear a few

heavy rain forecast from about 3 o’clock so I’m off out exploring before the rain starts

 

[Cossie]

Hotel A, on the E57 at Zalec, no car park views,

However, I have a motorway! Very decent hotel, almost new.

I guess I had to satisfy my curiosity, not time or money well spent - Tokyo Poop World - weird kitsch pathetic. Perhaps a thrill for primary school students.

Sunset from the office in Benoa.






To the left in the last photo are the lights for DPS.

Weather has turned horrid so great yo get off the ship and go on a tour and walk around Honningsvorg. We even managed after some dramas to reach Nordkapp

A sunset walk last night along our local pier.

Have now reached Dunedin-very cold morning but a glorious day

I had forgotten the Italian tradition of when you order a drink that you get all the nibbles. Excellent margarita.

I had also forgotten how much the Italians smoke. it is revolting.

As Victorians @VPS say " Yeah" (nibbles) - " Nah" (smoking)

 

[Cossie]

Not just the Italians, add Germans, Austrians, Slovenians, Croatians, Serbs and Hungarians, just from this trip alone.

Eating in a non smoking section of a restaurant tonight in Serbia, I smelt something off, young girl behind was vaping, technically it’s not smoking, I guess, still stinks though.

A view “of” my office last night. Kaposvar, Hungary, Hotel Dorottya. Does that mean I’m a “friend” now?

 

[Flashback]

Serbia is pretty bad for smoking in restaurants. Even non smoking sections are pretty smoky, my last experience was back in January.

The Bali Sea yesterday. Finally a ship relieved the boredom.

Today I will take a photo of the Equator.
