Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
5 de abril de 2024, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
At the airport. It's really close to where the ship docked.
Got through immigration and security OK. I was naughty and left some (non metallic) items in my pocket and you are not supposed to. Have a couple of hours to wait for the flight but that time was 'insurance' in case there were problems.
Just bought some water and had a look at our change. The coins are weird. It's hard to work out what they are. They have a 25c piece that says in tiny writing 'quarter dollar' and what I presume is 10c says 'dime'. 5 cents actually says 5 cents. It's a bit weird.Leia mais

Fort Lauderdale - Wales via Dallas
7 de abril de 2024, País de Gales ⋅ 🌬 12 °C
Flight from Fort Lauderdale to Dallas was somewhat disorganised to say the least. Hung around taking on bags etc for a half hour after our scheduled departure. They had to put out several calls reminding people it was a full plane and if they had more than one cabin bag to check it in as hold luggage. This is happening at the gate.
Made it to Dallas late and had to get our asses across to another terminal for the Dallas to London flight. Just made it by the skin of our teeth.
Interesting scenery on the way. Crossed the Mississippi delta and on the London leg saw what used to be the Francis Scott key bridge complete with stuck ship.
Arrived at Heathrow and sorted the hire car. Proceeded to drive to to where we were meeting one of Angela's relatives for breakfast. As a prelude to the age of AI the dopey car navigation took us out of the airport and then through one of the car parks to get to the road it want. That cost us 7 quid. Thanks.
Then off to Wales where we are staying with the people who we went to Uganda with. 4 hrs on a busy freeway and we are dead tired. Made it in one piece though.
Fish and chips for dinner. Better than any the the ship served up and then crashed into bed. The hire car wasn't finished with us yet. The car alarm went off a couple of times in the night due to strong winds. Sigh...Leia mais

Llandudno and the Great Orme
7 de abril de 2024, País de Gales ⋅ 🌬 12 °C
Some sightseeing today. Weather is very UK. Went to have a ride on the cable tramway up a local feature called the Great Orme, which is a big hill/península down the coast. Had breakfast at the sea front and went to Llandudno. Tram was not running due to high winds. Sigh.. Andy and I decided to walk up and Angela and Jan went off to have a coffee/tea.
Long story short, it was effing steep but we got there. The wind at the top was so strong that we were nearly blown over. Hard to hold the camera steady so few pictures. It took about 1/3 of the time it took to go up to get back down again.
Llandudno is a very British seaside town with lots of neat buildings I presume are Georgian and a gently sloping rocky beach that would be nice when the tide is in.Leia mais

Trip to Anglesey
8 de abril de 2024, País de Gales ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Quick trip over to the Isle of Anglesey to have a look around and have lunch at Red Wharf Bay. No boats involved, you can just drive over one of the bridges.
Had a look around Beaumaris on the Menai Strait. Very pretty. People were crabbing on the pier and the Life Boat shed was open so we had a look at that and donated our change as they are an all volunteer organisation.
Walked along the beach in front of the Red Wharf tavern. Short walk at the time but we watched the tide go out over lunch. Then you could have done a really long walk.
I am feeling somewhat cr*p. The cough zombies on the ship succeeded and I have the surgical. Embarrassing to bring foreign germs into a friend's house. Trying to mask up in the car etc. Not too many pix. I am focusing on YouTube footage. 😞Leia mais

Heading South to North Fleet
9 de abril de 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ 🌬 11 °C
On the road again today heading south to visit more of Angela's rellies. Been tipping it down with rain but that has eased off as we have come south.
It's only 450km but the motorways are very busy and the spray off all the trucks makes it hard to see. Not like a nice easy run to Albany.
Have stopped for a break near Oxford. Nice cup of tea and coffee. It has warmed up to 11 degrees. Phew!
Have been seeing some interesting cars. Followed an Overfinch Range Rover this morning. Overfinch does custom vehicles based on Land Rover/Range Rovers. The one we saw this morning would set you back maybe $400,000 +. If you don't have that then you can get something based on an old model 110 for about $140,000. Budget model :)
OK let's hit the road again.
Actually have seen 2 Landcruisers (compared to 54 gazillion Land Rovers). Both near London. They must be towns cars.Leia mais

Visit London
10 de abril de 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Day trip to London today. In by train with Julie and Carolyn so we don't have to find parking. Get a day pass at Swanley Station and head off to the city. First stop, Tower Bridge. I have seen it before but never walked across it. Got to walk across both at street level and inside the horizontal bits that support the two towers. Part of the floor is glass so you can look down on the bridge deck and the river. Super interesting although we didn't get to see the bridge lift.
Second stop, the Shard, for afternoon tea. We had a drink at a pub on the bank of the Thames on the way.
Afternoon tea is not cheap but it's a challenge to eat it all, especially the lolly crocodiles. View is great, especially when relieving the bladder pressure in the gents.
Then off ,er St James and the Guards but they were all closed up. It was damp and rainy so the horses may have gone on strike.
Back around Trafalgar Square to Charing Cross station. It's Monopoly for real but way more interesting.
Maybe off to Brooklands tomorrow. Birthplace of British motor racing and has a motor museum. I think they have a Concorde there.Leia mais

Trip to Brooklands
11 de abril de 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Trundled an hour round the M25 to Brooklands which is probably the birthplace of world motorsport and also had a facility there that developed aircraft including the Concorde. The attraction for me is the motor museum and a small aircraft museum.
Wound up parking on the old circuit. It's a shame but the old banked corners seem to have gone.
Was some very nice cars and bikes there. Angela was drooling over an old Bentley. Not a supercharged job but so fast it had brakes on all 4 wheels!
For me the big attraction was the Concorde in the air museum. I have seen them flying but never up close. Although it is considered small by passenger numbers it's way bigger than I imagined. Close up it is more beautiful than from a distance. Shame there are no SSTs flying today.
There was an option to see inside but it was all booked out. Much sadness. I would have loved to see the interior and sit in one of the seats.
Not planning on going anywhere tomorrow. Out in the evening for a curry. Mmmmmm :)Leia mais

Stay at Home Day
12 de abril de 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Staying in today. Took a bit of a stroll around Northfleet and Gravesend where we are staying. Can see across the Thames to Tilbury Docks.
Had dinner at an Indian restaurant. Very yummy.
I'll post some pix of the general area.Leia mais

Last Day - For this trip
14 de abril de 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Last day for the trip today. Repacked the cases and packs. Serious cameras etc all put away. Our flight isn't until 9pmish but the hire car had to be back by 5:00pm. After some hold-ups on the motorway we made it with 10 minutes to spare
Just veging and waiting for our flight now. Don't know what gate we should be at yet. 12hrs or so to Malaysia and the 5hrs home. It's been a long trip.
Have included a photo of a British kebab. Different to what I am used to and way bigger. Could not eat it all.Leia mais

Most of the way home
15 de abril de 2024, Malásia ⋅ 🌩️ 30 °C
Made it to Kuala Lumpur. 12hr flight from Heathrow. Got some sleep.
First part of the trip was a long haul over land. Apart from the channel, Black Sea and Caspian Sea we did not cross an ocean until after crossing India.
Breakfast was Nasi Lemak with Chicken Rendang. Yum. Also some Ikan Bilis but I could not eat that. Very dry and made me choke. Problem is I lurv ikan bilis. A curse on people with coughs that can't mask up.
Landed in the middle of the afternoon thunder storm. Pretty smooth landing considering. We are right down the back on the run to Perth so I hope there isn't a big easterly there to give us a bumpy landing.
A few hours to go and I can cough my lungs up in the privacy of my own home.Leia mais
