    Islamorada, FL, Day 4, 140223

    Please watch the YouTube video for more pics: Day 4 started with a leisurely breakfast at Gus’ Grille. I had the horror of realising that I’d ordered smoked salmon (cunningly disguised by the word lox) with my bagel. I ate a bit before I gave the rest to JC, and yes, I should have googled…

    Key Largo, FL, Day 3, 130223

    Day 3 started well, another warm and bright day with a bit of a breeze. For a change of scenery, we decided to walk north on Ocean Drive to see what breakfast eateries we could find. It wasn’t long before we found Hotel Victor on the corner of 12th Street. It had a balconied restaurant…

    Please see more photos here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://youtu.be/XkEjT3fJWpM We had a bit of a lie-in today due to the travelling catching up with us yesterday. It wasn’t until about 11am that we were ready to find a breakfast/brunch place to fill our boots. Thankfully Budapest’s Jewish Quarter has plenty of eateries. We walked through the streets…

    More photos can be seen here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://youtu.be/gU_Yd2Wki7c Tuesday we had a chilled out morning before flying out of Amsterdam into Budapest. After a smooth transfer from the hotel, we sailed through security with no problems. The Dutch were very organised here despite the warnings on the website of long queues. The flight was slightly…

    Amsterdam 23-24 October 2022

    Please see more pictures here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://youtu.be/SBI6BVPXEzk The flight from Heathrow airport was delayed by half an hour or so. This was due to the backlog of flights that had already been held up due to thunderstorms. Once airborne, the flight was so quick that the cabin crew only just had chance to serve our…

  • London Birthday Trip, Tributes to Queen Elizabeth II and the Proclamation of King Charles III

    When it was suggested, many months ago, that my birthday weekend should be spent in London , little did I know what a special weekend it would be. Unfortunately Her Majesty had passed away on 8th September, so we felt a little sombre and I must say I did feel a little guilty for my…

We had an Alton breakfast (named after the hotel), consisting of sausage, scrambled egg, fried potatoes, toast and…

  • San Francisco Day 16 070822

    Please view my video showing todays pics ⬇️ https://youtu.be/DS5nMvERZTI Today was mostly about getting back to San Francisco and enjoying our last night there. We checked out of the hotel in Lodi, passing through miles and miles of vineyards. It was pretty uneventful for the most part apart from Google Maps being a bit laggy…
