Every Sunday morning in and Id give him a Vincents Powder and a glass of water to wash it down...marveling he could consume the pink powder...the foulest elixir known to man...the painkiller for housewives and rock stars...a muso seeking path to the latter...both then youths...ultimately attaining the pinnacle of rock stardom he did.

Following breakfast at IHOP, we headed out toward San Antonio. Our goal was Sweetwater, Tx where we planned to spend the night. It was an ambitious goal as it was a 9 hr 10 min drive. That really doesnt sound too bad but when you factor in pit stops, meals, and traffic it can be a long day. Plus Terry Wilson likes to do all the driving.
I do love watching the scenery as we drive along. Sometimes Read on...
The first metro system built in Russia, the Moscow metro glorified the technological progress of the Soviet Union and is today one of the worlds busiest subway systems. It is most famous for its extravagant and unique interior design, exalted as the Palace of the People.
Opened in 1935 with just 13 stations that Moscow Metro just keeps growing and growing - now there are over 180 stops and over n Read on...
C&M were heading back to Richmond today and we are moving to a slightly smaller Air BnB closer to Takaka for a further three nights.
We are hopeful that the rain isnt an omen of what is predicted in the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne areas as the weather system there appears somehow to be connected to the overcast skies here in Golden Bay.
We had a bit more time up our sleeves so were able to casual Read on...
We decided to get an earlier start today so that, hopefully, it wouldnt be quite so hot and humid as we walked to our first sightseeing stop?? We hit the dining room for breakfast about 7.45am and we were out of the front door of the hotel before 9.00am.
We were exploring on foot again today. Yesterday we saw the Hop On Hop Off bus so we looked into that on the internet yesterday afternoon. Hmmn, Read on...
We seem determined to live our lives at a thousand miles an hour, each day a constant rush to get ahead, simply to buy more shit we dont really need.
Stuck on the we find ourselves trapped in the kind of jobs needed to somehow eek out enough to afford a house, the cost of which is, of course, astronomical. Whats more, in some insanity, the fortunate few are pressured to borrow way above their m Read on...
Vandaag verlaten we onze chillcamping en zetten we de eindsprint in naar waar ons Noorwegenavontuur begon. Kristiansand.
We deden er onze vermoedelijk laatste inkopen in Noorwegen, hielden een korte stop bij de kerk en reden verder.
Ook hier was de weg duidelijk niet altijd begaanbaar en stonden er naast de weg enorme palen om de weg terug te vinden bij hevige sneeuwval.
We besloten de auto ach Read on...
Scandinavian breakfasts and I were made for each other. It fits in with my more is more philosophy on life and gastronomy. We must hurry with reckless gluttony and eat our full Scandinavian hotel breakfast: tomato juice, muesli, cereal, pancakes, sausages, bacon, eggs (scrambled), Danishes (better than you have ever had back home), ham, terrine of ham, herring will dill and tomato. Its all so wond Read on...
Capita spesso nelle grandi citt saudite di guardarsi attorno e domandarsi ma in che paese mi trovo?, poich a volte di arabi se ne vedono in giro davvero pochi; la zona di Al Batha, a Riyadh, stata giustamente definita una Little Bangladesh poich la maggior parte delle in mano ad operosi immigrati bengalesi; in centro a Yanbu si notano solamente gli svolazzanti salwar kameez degli infaticabili op Read on...
Windy again today and much cooler than yesterday. Today it was up to Cowark via Waddington, past Marl Hill Farm, Newton, Dunsoo Bridge and home via Whitewell, Middle Lees and Cowark. So a little hillier than some of our loops but fantastic views.
Our virtual journey would be leaving Berat still on the D23 and heading west. Another day of quiet roads through pretty farmland, villages and undulatin Read on...
