Friday, September 21…its our last day of third term.

School’s out for two weeks  

MGW has not been well this week and

will welcome the final bell of the day.

Monday morning and will (hopefully) be

winging our way to New Zealand

for a quiet road trip before our son’s wedding.

Some of the extended family are already

enjoying the sights and experiences

to be found in 

Aotearoa,

The Land of the Long White Cloud.

Odd Ball

Week 25, 2017

The thing about travel is I find I compare

what I am doing today with

what I was doing while travelling.

On Monday May 29, two hours into the flight the pilot

announced we were passing over

Alice Springs in Central Australia’s

Northern Territory.


Two hours later he told us we were saying goodbye

to Australia as we passed over Darwin.

Perhaps not ‘Odd’ but certainly unusual photos…for me.

Help Please!

I was very tempted to place this in the Odd Ball post this week but decided to keep it a special post instead.

Last week MGW decided that we are going to visit Europe in 2016.  A travel agent has recommended a hotel in London which has a tariff of around $AUD600 per night…which is waaaayyyy to rich for our pockets.  We are planning 3 nights in London prior to crossing the Channel…three times 600 equals an economy return airfare from Australia to just about anywhere in the world.

If anyone can recommend a good inexpensive hotel/accommodation in London it would be very much appreciated.  Or even pass on a comment regarding an area.

We have spent the weekend searching for accommodation and were wondering what the Waterloo area was like.

During my 1976 visit I stayed at the Walkabout Club, somewhere near Hyde Park.

I was single, didn’t mind bunking in with like-minded single Aussies and have a few amusing memories from my nights there and at a nearby B&B.

I just don’t understand why MGW does not see the value in that style  of accommodation 😉

An email to dc2012@y7mail.com will find me or simply add a comment here.  I have not read a post of this ilk on any other blogs so hope this is not an inappropriate use of Social Media.

Thank you in anticipation of at least some replies.

This scene attracted my attention, a few weeks ago.

to enhance the clouds.
