Lovely Old Buildings

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 23 Jun 2009 | Views [446] | Comments [1]

Just a quick update before I head for the wilds of Devon and Cornwall. In recent days I've done some day trips from London - one to Winchester and one to Cambridge. I went to Winchester specifically to see The Old Mill. In 1969, my friend Marg and ... Read more >

When I was younger (so much younger than today...) I lived in London for 2 years. And it has such fun memories for me that I love it despite its peculiarities. So I'm forgiving it for the two things about today that I'd forgotten are so much part of ... Read more >

Where was I up to?

FINLAND | Monday, 8 Jun 2009 | Views [645] | Comments [3]

Tokyo is a very busy city and a very efficient one. The bus from the airport was very chatty. First it told us to fasten our seatbelts. Then not to use our mobiles as it will "annoy the neighbours". Go bus! Then it told us as we arrived at ... Read more >

Today i was at a temple in central Tokyo. Two little girls, or little women walked past - dressed in full Geisha outfits. This afternoon we had a small earth tremor. The full Japanese experience. Yesterday i visited Mount Fuji. Mt Fuji is regarded ... Read more >

Two weeks to go

AUSTRALIA | Saturday, 23 May 2009 | Views [532] | Comments [7]

It is assumed that when you travel, your mind and body move at the same time. Not true! About two weeks before the body is due to leave, it is necessary to get the mind active. Send it on ahead. Most people won't notice of course, but you can send them ... Read more >


Bula, then G'day.

After 3 more sea days we landed at Lautoka, Fiji. Fiji has an amazing culture with its mix of Indian and indigenous Fijians. The people are lovely - some of the most friendly people in the world. But their cities are down at heel and Lautoka is no different.... Read more >

Monday PAPEETE TAHITI:  Finally we spotted land – Quite bizarre to see islands rising from the sea. We were late docking but eventually – all clear into Papeete.  Papeete was a bit disappointing – for something that ... Read more >

At Sea

UNITED STATES OUTLYING ISLANDS | Sunday, 5 Oct 2008 | Views [229]

  I’m sitting in the pool area – the blue Pacific behind me, in front of me, all around me. I’m on a little mobile island called the Rhapsody. It’s a large ship and full of Aussies, and Poms who are now Aussies! I’... Read more >

 This is a day that has lasted for 40 hours thanks to the International Dateline. It started with an early rise as I took Matthew to the stations – I then made a “to do” list – it included the packing etc. but also some gardening ... Read more >

Anzac Day: We got up at 5.30am and went up on deck to have our own Anzac Dawn Service. About 20 Aussies – and 1 Kiwi. Very simple – Alan recited the ode “They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. Age shall ... Read more >
