Walking out of Isaba, past some of the younger generation clearly still awake from the nights celebrations, we enjoyed a gentle climb along a wide path along the river before hitting a signpost. Here we had a decision to make: to go the much harder, longer and more technical route (old GR11) to Zuriza or the shorter and easier one (new official GR11). Knowing the temperature was meant to rocket up Read on...
Monday morning we were on the road again . We had plotted a route through the Marrakai Road which as luck would have it, cut off a big section of sealed mainroad - just to our liking. Marrakai Road was a red dirt road still with quite a few puddle & stream crossings. Even though they are into the start of the dry season there is still a lot of wet patches on the road. Takes a few months for all th Read on...
Another early start to the day, up at 6:30 to do some work and have a staff meeting via Teams. No breakfast this morning as we were still pretty full from the beef from last night. Coffee and a strong one was in order. The coffee bar downstairs, while they use Starbucks, still make a good strong latte. The baristas are also very friendly. Todays itinerary consists of 2 museums, the Ford Piquette P Read on...
One of the positives to the UK during the summer months was to be the fact that we would be escaping the heat in Turkey. Well, there was quite a heat wave happening in the southern part of the UK so luckily our for cat sitting was farther north in Aberdeen, Scotland. We had heard that some of the trains werent running due to the heat of the tracks, but again, our luck was holding out and nothing i Read on...
It was getting late when I left Fredonia, Arizona on my way to my camp at Crazy Jug Point on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, by Crazy Jug Canyon. (Crazy Jug Canyon is an extinct fault line that drains into the Grand Canyon.) Crazy Jug Point is an US Forest Service scenic overlook that doubles as a free legal camp.
Before I left home, the TV news said that the paved Arizona Hwy 67 (Jacob Lake, Read on...
Very pleased with this campsite and especially our pitch as, as it gets hotter, the shade provided by a couple of big tall trees is keeping us Forecast for the next few days is to get hotter and even hotter until we probably Hopefully a storm along before that happens ?.
Decided for first time to use campsite showers rather than the excellent ones in the van mainly because there is no grey waste Read on...
Nachdem ich ber die Feiertage 10 Nchte im Haus meiner Mutter verbracht hatte, fuhr ich gestern vom Raum Nrnberg zurck nach Mnchen. Dabei machte ich einen Halt in Ingolstadt, um mir die Stadt anzusehen. In der Nhe des Neuen Schlosses, in dem sich das Bayerische Armeemuseum befindet, fand ich einen kostenlosen Parkplatz. Auf die Besichtigung dieser Anlage verzichtete ich aber. Ich wei auch gar nicht Read on...
For whatever reasons, I kept traveling during rainy season, not an ideal time for traveling in a tropical country like Indonesia. Delayed for a couple of hours, our flight arrived in Gunung Sitoli in the afternoon. Until a few years ago, the only mode of transport reaching the island was by ferry from Sibolga. Nias is an island on the East of North Sumatera, famous for its waves and swell among su Read on...
So, its already September and my construction project still isnt finished...almost!! But it seems like its been almost for over a month. Argh! This last little push seems interminably slow. Right now the hardwood floors are going in, even as we are still working out kinks - like persistent dampness and leaks in the roof & the staircase. Its been a journey...and in true construction fashion the job Read on...
Ptin viett viimeisen yn Dsseldorfissa lentokentn lhell. Klnist on toki hyvt yhteydet Dsseldorfin kentlle, mutta varauduin siihen, ett junat eivt kulkisikaan vaikka lakon takia, joten lentokentlle voisi menn vaikka taksilla.
Nukuin huonosti: ehk lht hermostutti. Onneksi talviaikaan siirtyminen antoi ylimrisen tunnin. Hawa tuli paikalle klo 11. Ovihan piti lukita avaimella eik siin ollut postilaati Read on...
