Wednesday 4 March 2015

Dinner & shopping in Phuket Town. But mostly dinner. Finished off with durian & beer (yes, beer) from a local grocer.

Sunday 1 March 2015

Little stroll before pre-dinner drinks, Kamala beach. It's pretty small as I managed to jog end to end this morning!

Saturday 28 February 2015

Space for 3 more bikes & year's worth of luggage? Pratiwi didn't think it would fit. But with a little magic: Yes! grin

Just back from cycling. GPS says it was 35° out. Phew! Pratiwi thought she'd have some fun while I stretch: Bliss!

Thursday 7 August 2014

Lunch in Placa Reial. It's Spain so paella on the menu despite temps in the late 30s. Sizzle! Lucky there's beer too!

Tuesday 5 August 2014

Pratiwi was dreaming of splashing about in a mountain stream all day. Brrr, icy! I showed her how to relax instead wink

8km & 900m vertical later: Col d'Ayous! Arrived rather sweaty, but yes that is snow on the ground. Time to head back.

Obligatory 'standing/sitting at the edge of a cliff' shots in the Blue Mountains wink These are at Lincoln's Rock.

Friday 29 November 2013

On the dirt today. Been a while, almost forgot MTB was such fun! wink And yes, it is still winter here in Sydney! grin

Sunday 7 July 2013

Wow... Is it summer already? wink Snacking on banana bread after another great spin in the fantastic winter sunshine smile

Fango the Weimaraner (think that's what he is). Full of energy, that's for sure! Lucky his garden is a vineyard! grin

Friday 11 January 2013

Lunch in St Emilion. The bar was crowded with people swirling, sniffing & slurping their wine. Serious business here!

Wednesday 17 October 2012

Another café stop in Florence. Another beer, another coffee & another tiramisu. Yum! tongue

Thursday 20 September 2012

Well, we don't go out for lunch often so might as well do it right wink Food with a view at Hotel Florence, Bellagio smile

Tuesday 18 September 2012

This morning's ride was round a misty Lake Como. Menaggio to Bellagio. Shots on the ferry back home. Nice way to end.

Dinner at Hotel Oberland. I have slab of pork wrapped in bacon on rösti, all topped with herb butter stuff. Yum! tongue

Sunday 29 July 2012

Pffft... they said it would be crowded & cold. Doesn't seem that bad at all! Now, riders should be through any... wink

Saturday 30 June 2012

More duck as dinner for me. Foie gras (as we are so close to Thiviers) & veal for Pratiwi. Plus huge deserts. Yum! tongue

Wasn't going to go riding this arvo (it's a bit windy & want to watch the Giro). But now thinking I perhaps should tongue
