The view or two from my "office"

A little more Kaikoura - now very chilly.

Ahah. BNE is 8C so Kaikoura ain’t cold!

Kravica waterfall, Hertzagovina. Ambient temperature is about 35° but the waterfalls are down in a valley so it’s wonderfully cool especially with the water spray.

Bosnian lunch office, Blagaj, Hertzagovina. Cold, clear water flowing out of a crevice at the bottom of the cliffs.

On the train from London. Beautiful green countryside

Edit. Home with proper wifi so updated

That isn’t the photo that I wanted to upload, but it gets to 99% and then just hang so I guess it doesn’t want to be uploaded

Looks more like the first time I went there. The 2nd time when I took Mrs FB it was torrential rain!

What's the lounge like and is it an airline or contract lounge?

Contract. Exactly the same food as Serendib (UL lounge, J/F only, OWE and OWS not allowed in Y), which we used on Saturday. It's quiet as most J pax goto Serendib.

Looks like we have the new? suite on the 787. Short/mid haul Amenity kit I.e., socks and shades only.

I really cringe at the Kevin Hart safety video. BAs humorous one was far better.


Very quiet in J. F on DOH-AMM so finally get to check out Al Safwa.

Nimes on Sunday. Purely by happenstance we visited it on the big day of the Bull Festival. The Roman Amphitheatre was being used for bullfights.

For their version of the Bull Run the participants stand on the edge of the fenced of alleyway and a trip of horseman guide the Bull down the middle. We did some fool running in between the horses and grabbing at the Bull.




The Maison carree - around 4 -7 AD. We kept coming across this band all round the city.

Some random guy sitting next to me started chatting. Offered me work in KWI as he liked my story. His wife and daughter came later and agreed, saying MrsFB and I should come visit. Do I? Don't I?

Currently on a SCNF Intercite - second rate compared to the TGV - between Arles and Carcassonne. No English announcements but not really a problem. It is now pretty much full.


There is some nice scenery on this route. At one stage we had the wonderfully named Etang (lagoon) de Thau on one side of the train and the Mediterranean on the other.
