Vor einer Woche am Freitag hatte ich zuhause in Mnchen Home Office und bin am spten Nachmittag nach Hallstatt gefahren. Eigentlich hatte ich diesen Sommer eine mehrwchige Reise nach Japan geplant und htte vorher das 1. in Hallstatt verbracht, aber durch Corona gab es eben nderungen. An diesem Anreisetag gab es drei Herausforderungen. Die erste war die Grenze. Die war offen. Die zweite war der Par Read on...
It was in the summer of 2016 when I visited the Trinidad History Museum and received a great tour. I got entry and a full tour of the Baca House and the Bloom Mansion for free. (Now they have a small entry fee.) I started with the main museum with the exhibits I posted in this blog. The tour of the houses are available with the museum guide only. Outside they have a nice garden where visitors can Read on...
On our bucket list of places to visit was the QANTASMuseumand the Stockmans Hall of Fame, both in Longreach. After a reasonable drive – 106km – to Longreach we stopped off first of all at the QANTAS Founders Museum. We checked in at 10:15 to be told that there were no more tours available that day, but we were to wander through the museum and the original hangar (built in 1921). We should have Read on...
Yoghurt with raspberries and nuts, then pancakes started the day. The forecast was for hot and sunny again so I left my chaps and sweater behind as I rode away from camp toward the mining town of Elkford. Its at the end of paved road although there does appear to be a gravel continuation for logging or perhaps another mine. There is a coal mine or maybe many in the area. Coal for making steel acco Read on...
For Breakfast this morning we headed to Sweet Maple, one of the spots in San Francisco. I had their French toast and millionaires bacon. It was probably my favourite meal in San Francisco. The millionaires bacon was delicious. Millionaires bacon is thicker bacon baked with brown sugar, cayenne, red and black pepper.
After breakfast we headed to the Japan Center. Unfortunately, not many stores we Read on...

Today we got up, ate breakfast, packed the suburban and drove down to the falls. We found parking at Queen Victoria Station Gift shop for only $10 for an hour. It was an easy walk to the falls. We took pictures, struck up several conversations, watched the Maid of the Mist boats and bought souvenirs.
It was a travel day to get us from Niagara Falls to Richfield Springs, NY (near Cooperstown). We Read on...
I am a couple of days behind in the posting. Our days are pretty full and my normal blog time which is during has been greatly reduced. Then, when we get back from dinner, we are exhausted. I am going to try to get caught up today. We are currently starting our second day in Belfast.
First, a bit on the Irish weather. It reminds me a lot of Portland, yes because it rains a lot, but more because Read on...
After our ride Friday night in the classic cars, we were ready to learn about one mans private enterprise to literally capitalize on these flamboyant vehicles.
Julio Alvarez greeted us a bit late because he already had some tourists seeing his garage. Full of good humour and passion, he had us listening raptly to his story of passion and strategy. His father was a mechanic who trained his son fro Read on...
Today weve booked tickets to visit Vintgar Gorge which is about five kilometres north of Lake Bled. Issy didnt sleep too well so it looks like Im on my own. Its drizzly and a bit grey, and the clouds are down on the mountains which is making them look a bit spooky.
We read last night that theres a free shuttle bus from town out to the gorge. There must be a lot of people who want to go there; the Read on...
