With only one bus connection, getting to Torla from Huesca was pretty easy without a car. Getting out will take some creativity, luck, or money.
The scenery was pleasant and the road - which is only mostly finished - is a architectural wonder in itself, winding along ravines and through sheer rock cliffs, all with the luxury of guardrails.
Torla is a Spanish town. Its charm, remoteness and pro Read on...
Morning found Carnival Legend at sea. The Sargasso Sea to be exact. That stretch between North America and Bermuda. We played United States Trivia, which we did well at, but did not win. Enjoying our cabin balcony, we watched clumps of sargassum float by, flying fish take to the air and ships pass on the horizon.
The evening was Formal Night, or Cruise Elegant as it is now known. Susan and I firs Read on...
We had an early morning, 6:30 am. 1. We wanted to see the kids before they left for school and 2. Tobias had early morning meetings and Biggie had to work, and 3. We had a long train ride (3 trains) to Brussels. Tobias took us to the station and helped us with our bags, got us pointed in the right direction and we were off.

Gabby the motorhome was still parked up on the park and ride as we the driver and navigator were just about ready to walk into the castle grounds at Stirling .

Hughenden was once dubbed the Capital of the Inland and is now the administrative centre of the Flinders Shire which covers 41,200 km2 and was gazetted a local government entity in 1882. It is roughly 383km west of Townsville.
It was going to be a hot day on Tuesday – of course it was, because that was when we planned a trip out to Porcupine Gorge. Loaded up with water, sunhats, sunscreen, hiki Read on...

This is the second blog of a two blog series about searching for our colonial ancestors during a visit to New England and the States. I that you start by reading the first blog at In Search of Colonial Ancestors in New England.
Before recounting our visits to ancestral sites a little background is necessary. I thought that I would try to follow the various branches of our family tree from the be Read on...
Da ich in 2021 weitgehend Home Office hatte und meine Wohnung kaum verlassen habe, war ich froh, dass ich gestern bei Sonnenschein einen Ausflug zum nahegelegenen Riemer See machten konnte. Dort hat ja vor einigen Jahren eine Bundesgartenschau statt gefunden. Ich bin also mit einem Auto zu einem dortigen Parkplatz, der etwas voll war, gefahren und habe meinen Spaziergang begonnen. Der See ist rela Read on...
