More feathered friends! Gaggle of geese walk/doze right by our spot on the Rhine. Young still a tiny bit 'fluffy'.

Wednesday 10 June 2015

Out riding in Germany it's hard to find tap in public, so had to stop at bakery & ask for water. Tragic, really wink tongue

Monday 8 June 2015

Pratiwi thinks coffee tastes better than beer. Poor misguided girl. Then again... more of the golden nectar for me I suppose! wink grin #Cheers

Sunday 7 June 2015

Few random scenes from Bullay, by the Mosel. Soooo quiet here smile

Sunday 7 June 2015

Couple of nice shots of this heron in next to our site today. It's always easy to entertain yourself with a camera.

Friday 5 June 2015

Sat by the Mosel at Bernkastel-Kues. Because it's a beautiful evening. And, you know, there's a free hotspot here wink

Friday 5 June 2015

It's someone's birthday, so off to the bright lights of Bernkastel-Kues we go. Whole town seems out in celebration!

Friday 5 June 2015

At last! Blue skies & warm in Europe! No thermal required! Today's ride back in Mosel region a cracker. #GoodTimes smile

Oh dear: @google photos doesn't save edits on Android if offline. It silently junks them. On subject, older, complex controls were better!

Tuesday 2 June 2015

Nestled between strip clubs & sex shops, Radsport Bebelaar in Trier seems everything a boutique bike shop should be!

Tuesday 2 June 2015

Pratiwi & I have an understanding post sightseeing: she gets coffee & cake & I get beer... & some of her cake! wink

Tuesday 2 June 2015

Trier Dom. Sort of 2 part cathedral & wow! Complete contrast to the utilitarian basilica (where I didn't take pics).

Tuesday 2 June 2015

Walked into the to centre of Trier. Really rather lovely here, although the outskirts we passed aren't much to see.

Sunday 31 May 2015

Short walk to Irrel 'waterfalls'. Pretty little river in the woods but hardly a waterfall. Rapids maybe? Still nice.

Saturday 30 May 2015

Lunch stop in Vianden. Nice little village almost right on German border. So long Luxembourg!

Saturday 30 May 2015

Just driving along enjoying views of the Luxembourg countryside. Here's a random sample, it's nice here!

Friday 29 May 2015

Little something my talented koki kecil rustled up for tonight's dinner. That beer is bloody good too! Yum! grin tongue smile

Thursday 28 May 2015

Riding the Luxembourg Ardennes. Roads so perfectly smooth, hilly & twisty. Mostly empty too. Close to cycling heaven!

Wednesday 27 May 2015

Just relaxing in the lounge wink Love the comfy recliner chairs. My feet are up on the sofa but you can't see that grin

Wednesday 27 May 2015

This morning we woke at this beautiful little spot right by the river in Hotton. So peaceful here.

Tuesday 26 May 2015

Typical post-ride chaos. Get some snacks, beer & tune in to whatever bike race is on at the time. Nice way to relax!

Tuesday 26 May 2015

View over a wildflower meadow passed on today's ride. This is rolling Ardennes countryside around Dochamps. Loverly.

Tuesday 26 May 2015

http://t.co/SpatGzicyy Aussies may not have seen the Vic gov is culling Koalas. WTF?! Too many bears or not enough habitat left? #Disgusting

Sunday 24 May 2015

Had a short trundle into Tournai on the bikes. Pretty nice in the centre here. And I'd say busy for a Sunday night!

Sunday 24 May 2015

Langemark German cemetery. 24,917 bodies lie in a mass grave here. Over 44,000 total. Incomprehensible. #LestWeForget

Sunday 24 May 2015

Poelcapelle British Cemetery. There simply are no words. #LestWeForget

Saturday 23 May 2015

Dusk remembrance ceremony at Menin Gate. Not a special date. A daily scene. Yet wars still rage. Why?! #LestWeForget

Saturday 23 May 2015

Belgium dinner: Trappist beer & Flemish Stew. Soooo good! Was absolutely stuffed after this... & half of Pratiwi's wink

Saturday 23 May 2015

Today's ride around Ypres was completely random, yet passed many cemeteries. Beautiful countryside, horrible history!

Saturday 23 May 2015

A very quick, grey & chilly stroll in Ypres before dinner.

Saturday 23 May 2015

Menin Gate, Ypres. 54,896 names with unknown graves. And these are just the Commonwealth ones! #LestWeForget

Friday 22 May 2015

Check in for ferry to France. Pratiwi amazed no search of our van. Yes, because no one would smuggle anything/one from UK to continent! wink

Thursday 21 May 2015

Eating food from Borough Market in church yard next door. Bunch of pre-teen kids here break dancing. They are literally too cool for school!

Thursday 21 May 2015

Lunch stop at Borough market. Lots of goodies on offer but think I chose poorly (no picture). Oh well... next time!

Thursday 21 May 2015

Roaming London like a couple of backpackers wink In past life I would walk through Liverpool St station daily. Surreal!

Thursday 21 May 2015

Catching up in London. Sydney must be expensive now as the cost of a pint in poncy City bar seemed rather reasonable!

Wednesday 20 May 2015

Flying visit to the Natural History Museum. You know... because we're cultured, like!

Wednesday 20 May 2015

Lunch at Royal China in Bayswater. Deep fried duck rolls. Say. No. More! Plus other goodies. Yuuuum! tongue :P tongue

Wednesday 20 May 2015

Good morning London! Sadly I think this is about as sunny as it's going to get. Brrrr.

Tuesday 19 May 2015

Hmmmmmmmm... Beeeeeeeeeeerr. That is all. wink tongue

Tuesday 19 May 2015

Just trundled into Liverpool St on the train. Even managed to do some work on the way - like a real commuter!? Let's not mention the time wink

Tuesday 19 May 2015

When one is in London, one must partake in dinner in Mayfair, darling. Pies & beer & silliness at The Windmill. Yum!

Friday 15 May 2015

Sitting by t' river outside the Lowther in York. Sun is shining. Beer is cold. Geese & goslings are wondering about - cute! Life is good! smile

Friday 15 May 2015

Some sights of York before lunch by the river while entertained by local wildlife. Then short stroll on walls. Nice!

Friday 15 May 2015

Pre-dinner stroll. Found a canal right next to our home for the night. Nice and relaxing... ahhhhh... smile

Thursday 14 May 2015

Feeding ducklings at Naburn Lock campsite. The little fellas come running if they think you have food! Sooooo cute smile

Thursday 14 May 2015

Afternoon tea in Betty's, Harrogate.
"Some cream, sir?"
"Just a little"
Ends with more cream than cake! Tragic! wink tongue

Thursday 14 May 2015

Boot net v0.1. Looks ugly but does the job wink

Thursday 14 May 2015

Us city slickers are amused by the most mundane country stuff: feeding chickens at Howgill Lodge campsite.

Wednesday 13 May 2015

Red Screes hike. Views almost to the coast, down to Ambleside & lake Windermere. Think we were bit lucky to stay dry!
