Lets Go

Departure from NZ was interesting. Our flight leaving Auckland was turned back so as a disorderly behaved woman could be thrown off! Procedure then apparently calls for the Police to come on board andЧитать далее
Easy Does It
7 сентября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
The knee had been grumbling a bit so a quieter day was in order. Rachel, Scarlett and I went to the Victoria and Albert Museum. It’s quite mind blowing. We had lunch which was pretty out the gate.Читать далее
On the Road Again… (foot)
8 сентября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
With knee sufficiently catered for, having had a half day prior, it’s back to the ground pound! I waited for London to get out of bed and open things up including Harrods. I haven’t put HarrodsЧитать далее
Great Missenden

Not the best of Travel Experiences
10 сентября 2024 г., Германия ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
This covers two days:
An early rise of about 5.30 to take a bit too much of a brisk walk to the station- as maps didn’t t keep up with me and I overshot my 2nd turn by quite some distance, thusЧитать далее
Hamburg… eventually!
12 сентября 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Leaving the house in a bit if a panic as I wanted to catch the 8am bus to Hamburg for the day and realised I had no way of knowing how to pay for the trams or buses (no English and archaic systems -Читать далее
Bremen & Blockland
13 сентября 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
The day began today with Arne’s A1 coffee coming with me in the car! We went to the huge park called Burgerpark ( not a 🍔 in sight). It is Bremen’s pride and joy - run purely on donations.Читать далее
Bremerhaven & Schwanawede

On the Buses
15 сентября 2024 г., Чехия ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Early start - 6.30 am bus to Prague. Due to the floods I’ve emailed ahead and they assure me it’s all good. 4 people died in Romania. Pretty sad.
Not a word of English in announcements until theЧитать далее
Wandering Prague Old Town
16 сентября 2024 г., Чехия ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Well…. I have about a trillion architecture photos…. I pretty much just wandered all day but had to buy a hat to keep warm. Hopefully enough items have been used and eaten to balance the weight ofЧитать далее
Prague Old Town Tour & History
17 сентября 2024 г., Чехия ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
The piling on of both interesting and sad history. I’ve learned so much and forgotten so much. Just like school really. We stood where the Germans invaded - I took a pic of his pic! Then theЧитать далее
Prague Castle

Some Extras
18 сентября 2024 г., Чехия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
This must have been another of the 26000 steps days I think . I’ve not used any public transport here. All foot and Uber home a couple of times. Taxis are dodgy here. Uber rules and there isЧитать далее
Medieval Underground and Dungeons
19 сентября 2024 г., Чехия ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
This day began with a Tour of Underground Prague as well as some above ground points of interest. Those medieval dudes were a pretty sadistic lot by the sound. Executing someone (which could be forЧитать далее
Roaming Day incl Sculptures
20 сентября 2024 г., Чехия ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
A bit of a free day and the plan for Jazz Club by night. It was soooo good. The club is in a 1400 Century underground cellar. Unfortunately the more decent video I have is too long for this site.
Kutná Hora
21 сентября 2024 г., Чехия ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Off to Kutnâ Hora today which is best known for the Sedlec Ossuary or ‘Bone Church’. In medieval times when the cemetery area reached 3.5 hectares, there was no space left to expand. The oldЧитать далее

Florence

Cinque Terre
25 сентября 2024 г., Италия ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

Capri
