I have pretty much worked from home 100% since the epidemic. It’s now a 20 minute walk away, so my intent is to go in once or twice a month, maybe. The lunchtime temptation though is out of my office new home office window ;)

We're always ready to take a few dozen for the team. Say hi to M from us both :)

So to our last evening and night. I hadn't managed to get our wlecome drinks that come with my lowly silver with Accor so I asked if we could have a beer and the answer was yes. The flight was scheduled to depart at 9:50pm. We planned on departure formalities taking nearly as long as arrival...

The last sunrise of our fab short trip to Korea Breakfast at the Ibis was unusual. I hadn't booked with breakfast but they had an offer that was I think 16,000 won pp if booked on the day you arrive. They were very confused that I didn't want to pay for two days as our booking was for two...

we ended up here and had an excellent time. How could you not like Korean bbq? Lovely waitress from Nepal looked after us yikes!! Imagine needing to use those tongs and those gloves! back out into the restaurant and evidence of ongoing liking for Korean beer then it was into the little bar...

We stayed at Ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong 이비스 앰배서더 서울 인사동. It was ridiculously cheap so we booked two nights as our J* flight home was late the next evening. Of course we subwayed and walked to the hotel. The walk was right through the crazy alleys of Ikseon-dong Hanok Village 익선동 한옥마을 that...

We were up earlyish for breakfast as we had a few more royal tombs to see before we KTXed it back to Seoul. Breakfast was a couple of different cereals, tea/coffee/juice, toast and boiled eggs. Perfectly adequate. The ramp assist for wheeled bags Out into the cold and gee was it cold! Out and...

We stayed at Y Collection by Unboundi and loved it. Y COLLECTION BY UNBOUNDI GYEONGJU ≡ Gyeongju, South Korea ≡ Lowest Booking Rates For Y Collection By Unboundi Gyeongju in Gyeongju, Amenities Quirky and odd with a bed pretty much on the floor and no lifts so definitely not for everyone. We...

Does anyone know if there's any chance of this going past October? If anyone has a crystal ball, or govt contact.

wtf? and into the fenced area that contains the Royal Tomb of King Michu and Daereungwon tomb complex then out into a sea of shops and cafes and restuarants in what I'm not sure was an old village, or is a recreation of one

more at the museum. We had a delicious lunch at the onsite cafe we then started back to the hotel. First stop was Donggung Palace & Wolji Pond that for us wasn't worth the admission price (after the museum was free!). It didn't help that there was a screaming child there that just didn't...

Our next destination was Gyeongju. Search for it on google and it sends you to a city on the ocean but we were heading to the the ancient Silla capital Gyeongju Historic Area [UNESCO World Heritage] (경주역사유적지구 [유네스코 세계문화유산]) : VISITKOREA We'd planned to take public transport but it would have...

We got off at the Haeundae beach stop and wandered through the streets just off the beach that were full of small restuarants, many specialising in seafood We also saw a standalone global ATM on the street leading to the beach of course we stopped at Gorilla Brewing for our last Busan beers...

We stopped at a cafe the couple recommended - 쏘리낫쏘리 베이크샵 SORRY NOT SORRY BAKESHOP - and it was very good with a lovely outlook Igidae Park was just up the hill from the cafe so to our walk. Not many people out walking although it would have been crowded a few hours before with people there...

Up at a very respectable 6ish to have a hot drink then join the masses looking for that first sunrise of 2025. Initially we walked along the road behind the hotel thinking we might get a view of the sunrise as the road went around a corner on the sea front, but we could tell that was no good...

We had such a lovely relaxing time in Akaroa over the weekend. Weather was supposed to be pretty ordinary but it was beautiful Saturday. and Sunday up until late afternoon. We walked the full Children's Bay circuit that took nearly 2.5 hours. Foolishly we had no sunscreen and both of us ended up...

As we waited to take off last night

No further updates until Tuesday when we’re back from CHC after our annual avoid invasion day trip. BNE the quietest we’ve ever seen it. No one in security line when we walked in. Bizarre.
