The view from my "office"

[Port Power]

Tonight’s office, Hotel Europe, Sarajevo. It is right next to the Old Town of Ottoman times.

Heading north again for a few days to sort some car stuff in Brisvegas.

View at Canberra airport, it was 7 again today, but at least it doesn’t have a “ - “ in front of it.

This afternoon’s office, the “Tunnel of Hope” under the airport in Sarajevo, engineered, dug out and constructed in 1993 during the siege of Sarajevo. Our guide was a 10-14 year old boy during those years, so his account was first hand. He emphasised his information was also completely factual and could be verified. He was an excellent guide during our two days here.

I was also in Sarajevo a few weeks ago and heard about the tunnel, but didn't visit (claustrophobic!). Have you found Archduke Franz Ferdinand's car yet? So much history in one little city!
I loved Sarajevo!

Yes, such a beautiful city with so much stark recent history. I was there in 2015 with daughter who has been researching and investigating war crimes since 2003, particularly against women and children. It has been a harrowing process for her team and they are still at it (she was there last month). In 2015 she told us that the women and children were only now starting to open up about the events.

Yes, that’s just around the corner from our hotel.

The first section of tunnel that was left for posterity is only 25 metres long, and well lit. One of our group is claustrophobic too, but with me a reasonable distance in front and husband behind encouraging her, she did it. And was very pleased that she did, too.

Beautiful down town Merimbula.
It's a bit overcast now but was warm and sunny this morning when I walked to the beach for a coffee.

What's with the chap that has their pants down?

He is having a hot flush, he has his jumper off too !! Or he is from Greenland !!

 

[Cossie]

Heading south from BNE back to Canberra, caught up with some friends and have probably got another Escort Cosworth, don’t tell the boss!
It will be an exchange for something I already have, so that should ok as there is no net gain in numbers!

On arrival into Canberra at the gate. I took some shots of the moon on the way down with an ipad, not really worth showing.

 

[Guvner]

What's with the chap that has their pants down?

I think he just needs a good belt..

VH-LQF Dash8-400 CBR-SYD 0600 departure office today. A quick hop, as part of a multi-city trip to India.



Nice views of dawn breaking as we approached SYD.


Just another Y seat, no neighbour - so was good.

As we approached the landing at SYD, I could hear the “30, 20, 10” (I’m assuming distance to touch/land) counter go on. It was pretty clear to me, unsure how many in the cabin noticed. I was in 2B so it was audible from my seat. Felt like I was sitting in a simulator

Pre 9/11, you could get the Jump seat from CBR to SYD if you asked for an earlier flight out! That used to be fun - although last off the plane.
