Yesterday was mostly a driving day from Manapouri to Arrowtown so not too much to report other than we stopped at Te Anau for an hours walk on the lake front and also at Kingston to check it out at the foot of Lake Wakatipu. We are now based at Settlers Cottage Motel for most of the next week. We chose this place as its the least like a motel and more like a homely cottage which it is. A good choi Read on...
Today was our second, and last day in Lisbon. I woke early to be able to photograph the city and learn more about its history. Yesterdays long day of touring made Dave too tired to join me in the three hour morning walking tour of Lisbon. Fellow passengers Rosemary and Dick, who ironically live less than five miles from our home, were going to me on this tour, also decided they were too worn out. Read on...
Sandra drove today and did very well. No major alerts and she only went on the wrong side of the road once and that was only when we were in a carpark so all was good.
We left Boise around 7:30am and filled up. Price of petrol is pretty high here but still not as high as Australia. It was quite cloudy and a bit cooler but to travel in. About 1/2 hour down the road, we stopped to get some juice an Read on...

The next day started off with another car ride, this time to Petra. After settling into our hotel room, my sister, dad and I went to eat lunch- gyro meat for them and falafel for me- before adventuring through the ruins of Petra. We rode horses a part of the way there and continued on foot after reaching the start of the impressive towers of rock. Contributing to the magnificence were the carvings Read on...
Today is our last full day in Gulf Shores. Saint Patricks Day. We woke up to a beautiful day today. Sunny and warm. After an early morning walk on the beach with Leo we had a pancake breakfast made by Pedro. We had honey for our pancakes.
After breakfast we headed to town to explore. We found a second dog park in town at the state park. We had tried to find this one earlier in the week, but Srira Read on...
Our host said to us when we arrived that the weather pattern had been the same each day for a few weeks recently, cloud at dawn which gradually broke to brilliant sunshine. And this morning was no different.
The thermometer showed 2C so not much above freezing but the cloud cover was definitely clearing as arose to start the day.
It wasnt warm enough for breakfast on the terrace so we planned ou Read on...
Last night, after suffering what seemed like terminal Jody and I returned to the hotel and immediately collapsed into a well needed sleep. The alarm was set for 6:45, plenty of time to get up and get ready for a 7:30 breakfast. Unfortunately, my internal alarm wasnt working correctly, so about 5:30 I woke up and couldnt get back to sleep. Fortunately, that gave me time to write the Day 1 blog ent Read on...
I drove West from Monarch Pass on US Hwy 50 and saw a warning sign (on Colorado Interstate and US Highways) warning people of the statewide fire hazards and not to burn. Getting near Gunnison, Colorado I saw a neat old church. In Gunnison I got gasoline, food, other supplies that I needed for camping in the I turned North on State Hwy 135 for Crested Butte. (At Crested Butte all supplies are fair Read on...
Gestern habe ich nach einer weiteren Home Office Woche in Mnchen einen Ausflug ins Umland und zwar zum UNESCO Welterbe Wieskirche im Pfarrwinkel gemacht. Es hat dabei etwas geregnet und auf den Bergen, die ich auf der Fahrt gesehen habe, gab es Schnee. Damit ist nun wirklich der Herbst gekommen. Auf dem Hinweg bin ich ber die A95 in Richtung gefahren und auf dem Rckweg ber Landsberg am Lech und d Read on...
