Rome – Just like Home
They reckon you should never talk about politics or religion. Oops.
It’s another early morning and we’re on our way from the port of Civitavecchia to Rome.
Pisa Cake – Pisa and Florence Italy
I reckon Italy is wasted on the Italians. It’s stop two of our cruise and already I’m feeling like a hummingbird that darts in, enjoys the flower, and then darts off again. Overnight, France has magically morphed into Italy.
Cote d'Azure
An old pommie guy once said that all of life is a stage, and we are but players. It’s Saturday, I think. We boarded the boat yesterday in Catalonia and now we’re in France. I call it a boat, but when you’re seventeen stories high and weigh a hundred and fifty thousand tonnes you probably get to be called a ship.
To abbey or not to abbey – Barcelona
They say that men are from Mars and women are from Visa. Maybe true, maybe not. I prefer to think that we just look at two sides of the same coin.
From east to west in a day – Barcelona
We’ve arrived safely in Zurich. For the first time ever, following recent events, the flight from southeast Asia to Europe was the one that almost had us concerned. We admit we are both a little relieved when wheels hit tarmac, even if it’s too foggy to confirm we are even in the country that we’re supposed to be.
Who’s looking at who? – Singapore Zoo
We love talking with cab drivers. They are part of the fabric of most big cities, and generally have their fingers on the pulse of society.
Out and about in Singapore
It’s our first morning on the go. We wake up to that familiar yet undefinable smell of Asia, and look out at the palm trees and rain forest nearby. Let’s go get breakfast. Wham! Oh yeah, we forgot that it’s hot – all the time.
The journey begins
In a famous book series a guy named Ford Prefect advises you never go into space without a towel. Well we’re starting on our NRA (Nanette Retirement Adventure) and I’ve followed the sage advice of my friend J and packed a stapler.
Three Challenges – Surrey Canada
I have three challenges to complete today – a trip to Costco, rearrange the furniture in a couple of rooms, and hold Mackenzie for three minutes while Kirsty eats dinner.
On the way again
You probably know that Kirsty, Kai and Mackenzie have been visiting for the past few weeks. You may also know Nanette and I do the odd plane flight. So …… how much of a challenge would it be to travel back with them? Oh, and I won’t take Nanette as backup because that would be cheating.
