It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. Most people played nicely but I would not do it again.

Ozduck why would you not do it again?

Never has a Starbucks felt so good - icy aircon and an iced coffee relief from the Mumbai sauna outside. The Starbucks is at the back of the Taj Palace Hotel. Entry to anywhere in the building is through metal detectors and bag searches - a legacy of the terrorist attack in 2008.

Big Almaty Lake office, after a dump of snow overnight. A$34 return from the city in local Uber equivalent.







On the way back, I spotted the local @henleybeach hang-out. Weather today not good enough for the prices there, HB , so no drinks this evening.

Ozduck why would you not do it again?

Purely cowardice. It is an absolutely lovely area with great scenery - but I would be very happy if someone else drove up that bit of road for me. I saw nothing of the scenery going up, my eyes were fixed on the road and trying to peer around the blind corners. It really was not a terrible experience but I was very happy to get to the top.

Actually, I would do it again but next time I would get there by at least 08:00 before the tourist buses arrived. We had stopped about a 90 minute drive arrive and breakfast wasn't till 08:00 so we were a bit late arriving.

I watched Hotel Mumbai recently, worth a watch if you haven't already seen it.

My Almaty Airport Business Lounge office.





I was contemplating getting a feed and a drink here prior to my 22:30 boarding, but on checking @henleybeach 's TR and the lounge description, I had a feed at the Novotel before I left.



Just as well. The only non paid drink is water and the food is mostly sugared nuts and the like. Bleh.

I don’t watch TV, but I’ll try to remember to scope it when I eventually get home.

The office today was Arromanches-les-Bains (D-Day's Gold Beach).

These semi opaque sculptures were first exhibited at the Chelsea Flower Show to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day. They were moved to the headland at Chemin de Calvaire, the northern end of Arromanches.

The view from Chemin de Calvaire showing sections of the inner Mulberry Harbour closest, and the outer harbour wall where sections and some old ships were deliberately sunk to form a protective outer wall for the harbour.

Some old fella having a closer look.

La Marine restaurant, for dinner.

Yesterday we drove one the stages used the last time NZ was a WRC event. Partway along there was a side road and this was at the end. Batley, a one house town, north of Auckland. A lovely house, should have taken more photos.

You're right. There's no food and the tide's out

Hyatt Incheon Office with nice cold 'Cass' local draft after a sauna, hot bath, chilled bath, rinse, repeat ... ( Recovery treat after an arduous trip through the 'stans). The recovery continues tomorrow with SQ F through to Sydney.







This place has more white marble than an Ashgabat office block
