Victorian Charms

Let's just get it out there - Melbourne is big. By area, apparently it is 10 times the size of Auckland. However, it has 'only' 3 times the population, which means the population density is a third of Auckland.

That in turn means it has many inner city parks and cycle trails, many of which we have been exploring .





It must be said that Mary was very adventurous and was even prepared to believe that there were no snakes on this particular stretch of the trail...


All of this just a little bit down the road from:



And did you ever wonder how people Googled things before the invention of Google?:



As well as the inner city charms we borrowed a car and headed out for wine and gin tasting in the Yarra Valley. It went well...



Having sampled a range of Yarra's finest we rounded off our visit with a walk to Maroondah Dam, and for once saw a waterfall that actually had water...




And we mustn't forget the Melbourne city wildlife.






Thanks to Craig and Claire for a wonderful visit and the very generous use of their house and car!
 
Tomorrow, Rome!

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!

Tall Ships

Image
An easy start Sunday 12th Feb with a swim and a walk along a pristine beach, one to rival Orewa.  The main event today was a dinner cruise on the tall ship Soren Larsen culminating in viewing a fireworks display from the water. The voyage started auspiciously with an aerobatic display by the Air Force. So far, so good...  After boarding our tall ship, we moved forward for the briefing. While waiting for our skipper, we looked starboard to watch the James Craig, a tall ship almost twice our size, coming in from a cruise with the aid of a tug boat, a grand sight as one would expect. I suddenly thought 'They're coming in too fast and too shallow an angle and therefore are going to hit us'. I then thought, 'Don't be an idiot. These are professional skippers who know exactly what they're doing, aided by professional crews. What would you know... '. Guess what - first they hit us, then they rammed the wharf...  After exchanging ...
