The view from my "office"

[RooFlyer]

And with the Qantas lounge filling, I think I can just see my ride out the windows of the EK lounge

No surprises here. Except that we finally made it after 48 hours travel.

Whilst I could guess it is Venice, this thread is not meant as a guessing game.

Can you confirm where you are please?

As kids, 1960's/70's, we used to jump off the "Fisheries Jetty" in the 4th photo for a swim The park in the background was mostly rubbish tips in those days. My father used to go prawning, with a drag net, just to the left of where that photo was taken

My office today north of Port and Braga in Portugal. Sun burnt and wind burnt, that's Spain you can see in the background.

It was a good day until Ogier went off and then later kiwi Hayden Paddon also crashed necessitating a trip to hospital for a checkup and the cancellation of the stage.

The view for our lunch office today, The Blue Crab, Victoria, Vancouver Island.

That's right. The silly way the Canadians serve wine.

Where else are you going on Vancouver Island? Butchart gardens are excellent.

Going up to Tolfino or Ucluelet? (Pronounce as Yuki.)

Remember the best oysters in the world come from Vancouver Island and Puguet sound. Wonderful oyster truck at Ucluelet that used to be run by fellow from Adelaide.

Errr, hasn't there been some discussion on that here on AFF previously? I predict some disagreement with that comment!

TMA beat me to it … Butchart gardens were quite wonderful for us.. pics please if you go.
Ron could try snapping the humming birds.. great fun

 

[tgh]

Are you sailing out of Venice ? . has to be one of the best sailaways

I remember that. Of course the best oysters come from Coffin Bay

... and here I was thinking they came from Peter's Fish Market on the Main Beach spit!

(no affiliation at all, just like them)

Not just a general discussion either, as I seem to remember that drron was front and centre in the debate!

 

[RooFlyer]

Of course those of us who can access the best oysters of all, say nothing about where they come from, else all you buggers will come along and take 'em all!

A few days in Budapest. This is the view from our studio apartment in K9 Residence. Has nothing to do with canines. K9 comes from the address, Károly Körút 9 (Charles Boulevard).

Unfortunately the building with the mural is a fire station. Fire trucks depart from there quite often, with sirens wailing!

Even the spat for Coffin Bay oysters come from our secret place.

Yes, disagreement from those unfortunate unenlightened ones who had not been there before, but in reality no argument. Australian ones (all two plus one species) don’t compare. Worth going to Vancouver Island and Seattle just to eat oysters.

Except that they obviously dont sell oysters to the public before Victoria Day-next Monday.No oyster shack was open and the only restaurant we went to that had oysters on the menu when ordered replied-Sorry that is the wrong menu and shouldn't be out yet.
So on one important point Tassie and Coffin Bay oysters win hands down-I can get them when I want them.
