The view or two from my "office"

Athens airport, view from a lounge, I had fast track, but the boss didn't. It cost 6 euro for her to get fast track, an absolute bargain, especially given the lenght of the plebs queue!

The white spots are reflecion on the glass.

Not sure the police would be able to land a helicopter in that spot. :)

A couple of shots, been cropped, if I get my stuff together, I'll start a thread and post more.

Good rally, we had some great spots, not too many people, but no food or drink at the stages, apparently due to the fire risk from bbqs and even petrol generators. Most impressed with the fans, next to no garbage and most people took the waste away when they left.
It was hot and very dusty, but it was worth it!

Beautiful Falmouth, Cornwall, and St Michael on the Mount about 45 minutes’ drive away.

It was a year ago today that I left Cornwall after my four month stint. Lovely spot. Pendennis Castle in Falmouth is interesting. When I visited they said had a been before and I said I slept in their in 1982 when it was a youth hostel. Enjoy and post lots more photos please
 
I know it's not a guessing game, but does anyone know where this is? Catching up with a friend that works there over the Europen summer. Answer below.

Whilst I do not know the facility I do know the surrounding district as when I was living in UK I once had a g/f in nearby Legnano. Small world so to speak.

Blarney Castle, Cork, Ireland. I didn’t bother doing anything as unhygienic as kissing the Blarney Stone, but thoroughly enjoyed wandering through some of the 60 acres of the beautiful gardens. You can see where people wriggle through the hole in the wall up top on the right side. I am mad at myself for not photographing the gorgeous hanging baskets that were everywhere! Chock full of assorted colourful flowers, particularly very big begonias.

Then, of course, an Irish coffee.

Today was supposed to be a full day out visiting Kilkenny Castle and Waterford Crystal. Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans. ☹️. Land weather would be pleasant enough, but at 8:00am there was already quite a swell. This is a tender port. More important, the weather front will be deteriorating. The Captain does not want passengers stranded ashore and left behind!

@Pushka, I am on Seven Seas Grandeur doing the British Isles during the first week, then up to Faroe Islands and Iceland in the second week.

Hmmmmmm, so much for the heat, now in Bormio, close to where the winter olypics were held. Want to drive the Stelvio Pass tomorrow. Cold and very wet, 15 degrees! Actually, a nice change from the heat.

View from our room at the Hotel Terme.
