Summer has arrived. Suddenly and without warning. Went out in a as very cloudy and forecast said that was what we were getting. Came back at the endof the day with a very positive tan having spent the best part of the day in full sunshine under a glorious blue sky. After the last month in England feeling positively chilly this warmth is absolutely wonderful.
The day was pretty wonderful too. We Read on...
We are now going to write about what we did in the second half of our vacation in Tenerife. When looking through the pictures it seems like we these days just saw a lot of old stuff. But please keep in mind that old can still be interesting and exciting.
The town Icod is on the north coast of Tenerife. It is a town that probably would see very few visitors had it not been for it being the home of Read on...
Today we started our tour in Volksgarten, A beautiful landscaped park to one side of the Hofburg In June the roses must look wonderful but now in March they were all covered to protect them from the winter temperatures, looking quite spooky too.
Opened in 1823, the Volksgarten owes its existence to the exuberance of Napoleons army.The French emperor entered Vienna in 1809 after a victory over th Read on...
A grey, but dry, morning that improved towards lunch time. To be fair we knew the forecast was much better for the afternoon but by cycling in the morning we know we have the rest of the day free. Todays ride was up to Bashall Eaves, Cow Ark, Middle Lees, Whitewell and St Huberts Church at Dunsop Bridge. Turn round and almost back on the same route. St Huberts church was my childhood church and I Read on...
I think I will divide the second part of our trip into two parts because we did a lot in 4 days. The tourist spots we were allowed to visit were limited and spread out, so we had to choose wisely. We both wanted to see SIgiriya Rock and Polonnuwara, so I started looking for hotels in those areas. Luke had previously found Jims Farm Villas before we left Dubai, but my request on the website went un Read on...
We are only a few minutes away from Mount Scoria – musical mountain and have a great view of it from the caravan.
Mount Scoria rises up from the surrounding plain, a single and spectacular highlight against an otherwise flat landscape. Across its peak, rocks are regimented into large vertical and pillars or columns, blunt at the top as if theyd been cropped. Not only odd in shape, the columns Read on...
Yes, I went to the French Open last May for the first time. It was a great experience, but pales to Wimbledon. Here is my Wimbledon story from 2009. BTW, the tournament starts tomorrow morning.
I went to Wimbledon back in 2009. I thought you might enjoy this, again! I would place it at the top, along with the Masters Golf Tournament, Indy 500, and the Kentucky Derby.
It is the eve of the fortnig Read on...
Today we had to return the car, pack up the tent and stuff and move to a chalet for the final night. I had a few of the items we had bought such as the self inflating mattress, camp chairs and tarp up on marketplace and we sold a couple of the items, which was a bonus and donated the rest to people at the campgrounds. The Exmouth Ningaloo Caravan and Holiday Park had let us in the chalet early, so Read on...
Got up around 8am, showered and packed the last minute stuff into our suitcases. We still had a bit of alcohol left but couldnt take it with us and neither could the boys so we donated it to the cleaning staff who were very appreciative.
The doorman downstairs organised a taxi for us to go to JFK airport. Another harrowing experience. I swear New York drivers have a death wish.
We had plenty of Read on...
Gestern besuchte ich die Region Erding. Erster Stopp war die SAP Niederlassung in Hallbergmoos. Ich sah sie gestern zum ersten Mal (von auen). Zur SAP habe ich gemischte Gefhle. Whrend meiner Zeit dort hatte ich teilweise ber 200% Umsatzzielerreichung, aber man hat mir das mit ausbleibenden realen Lohnerhhung, keiner Befrderung, Wegnahme des Firmenwagens und anderer unschner Verhaltensweisen gedan Read on...
