Great Ocean Road

The guide books all rate the Great Ocean Road as one of the best drives in the world, so we were keen to explore...

The first sight was a bit perplexing. What exactly were these at Warnambool ? :
They turned out to be old aquariums.

The main thing about the road, at least at the western end, is that often the road is not scenic, instead one has to take a gamble on side roads to obscure beaches. Sometimes the view is a bit average, other times the reward is a stunning beach with nobody around :

On the other hand, some views were expected and famous, such as the 12 Apostles. 

And some views were hidden. We had been advised that the best place to view koala in the wild was the Grey River Road. Sadly, despite intensive searching, only one was evident, and even that one was hiding in the fork of a tree. We still kept searching... 

So in summary, how good was the drive? This good:

Mary nicely summed up our Saudi Arabia experience as "Expect the unexpected". Put simply, we had some preconceived expectations, based in part on media reports and in part on comments made by friends on learning where we were going. None of those preconceived expectations matched our reality.  Since 2016, Saudi Arabia has gone through an amazing transformation as part of the Crown Prince's 'Vision 2030' . Nowhere is this more evident than in Riyadh. Riyadh is still very hot and very dry, but pretty much everything else has changed.  Hospitality is a core value, taken very seriously. For example, after a wonderful dinner in the Diriyah complex, we wandered around relatively aimlessly which attracted the notice of a guide. He personally escorted around the area, then picked up a specialist guide for a tour of the Salwa Palace. We quietly asked our dinner host about how much to tip the guides and were advised it was part of the ethos of Diriyah, and offer...

Australian Wooden Boat Festival 2023

Image
The Weather Gods smiled on us today for a fine day as we explored the Wooden Boat Festival. First stop was Salamanca Market for new hats, then we hit the docks for beautiful boats - big and small; new and old; human, wind, and engine powered. An emu stopped by to ensure our new hats were not reincarnations of their cousin who disappeared in mysterious circumstances...  A reminder that the local First Nation residents managed maritime adventure without the need for European technology. Mary wants to buy this boat, given the auspicious name... ... but felt it needed a better tender than Winnie the Tinny. Another auspicious boat name Personally, I think this would suit better. Beautiful to the point of being boat porn. Tomorrow will be a dinner cruise on a tall ship, complete with fireworks and a chance to climb the 35m tall mast. In summary, retirement has started well!

New York, New York

To all intents and purposes, New York and Manhattan Island are pretty much one and the same. The contrast having come from Grand Abaco Island in the Bahamas couldn't be greater. Apart from the obvious numbers of people and buildings, the people seemed more hard-nosed than elsewhere in the US.  One example: A huge part of New York's history is linked to the waterfront so what better way to start our visit than a boat tour circumnavigating the island? Only we couldn't. One of the storms that skirted the Bahamas turned up instead off the US East Coast. One of the features of such storms are unexpectedly high tides, and the captain decided that we probably wouldn't fit under the lowest bridge.  The Tour Guide, Dave, carefully explained this problem before we set off and offered that anyone who really wanted to fully circumnavigate could rebook the next day at low tide. Nobody took that option so off we went on the Plan B route.  On our return, one passenger comp...
