    Airbus A320

    March 4 in England ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

    The now traditional shot of the aircraft taking me on my latest trip... departed an hour late due to fog and a spill of Jet A1 fuel by the plane next to us.. I've had worse.. much worse... so nothing to worry about.. airborne by 10 am... ✈️Read more

  • Iberostar

    March 4 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    A return to this hotel.. for a few days of sun.. reading.. good food.. and sleep... although..a vast plume of Saharan dust ..fine sand lifted from the desert of North Africa..right next door to here...is affecting the sunshine today and tomorrow.. normal service resuming on Friday🌞I can deal with that.. so.. a hike planned tomorrow.Read more

  • Port El Kantaoui

    March 5 in Tunisia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Scarpa's out today... for this beach hike down the coast towards Sousse... Saharan dust persists... and rain generally across the Med.. but its only day 1 .. sun is back tomorrow.. Friday... 🙂

  • .. cocktails

    March 6 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    I don't drink cocktails at home.. but must say when this hotel puts on such a tempting array.. it'd be rude not to partake🙂.. have worked out these are at 6 pm each evening.. just before dinner service .. and I do partake... after Sunday.. no more cocktails in 2026 I'm guessing .. another sunny day. In Tunisia.. am getting a good fix of Vitamin D... which is why I'm here.. half way through already.. can't have too much 5⭐.. the food gets overwhelming quickly.. but will put up with it till Monday.. somehow😝Read more

  • .. too much of a good thing

    March 8 in Tunisia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    .. yes.. it's like that here.. and why I only do a few nights 5⭐... dip in and out quickly . I see people who do nothing but get up.. breakfast.. sunbed.. lunch.. sunbed.. dinner.. and all day drinking .. I take the half board with no drinks package.. as don't want to get into that environment... my #1 reason for being here is Vit D.. which I can't yet get in sufficient quantities in North Yorkshire . so.. it's been a success.. but ready to leave this rather unreal world environment tomorrow.Read more
