Just under two weeks now until we return to real life and we had planned to go out with  a bang.  We have been wanting to do an Adriatic cruise off the coast of Croatia for a few years now but with covid and other commitments it was not able to be done until now. … More A holiday within a holiday – 18th September 2022

Relaxing start to the day as we didn’t have any great plans on the agenda. We did have some washing to drop off, so on the way we went via the local fruit and vegie market to pick up some fruit for the day. Lots of variety and very fresh. We were drooling over all … More More Split – 17th September 2022

It was decided to leave by 8.00am as we had a long way to drive back to the Split airport to drop off the car. We should give the car a bit of a wrap as it never missed a beat and very economical on petrol. It was a Peugeot 208. We were looking forward … More Road to Split – 16th September 2022

We certainly felt a lot more comfortable making our way around the park today as it does take a bit to find how the system does work. It has overtones of the soviet era way of doing things. By this we can best describe by making a sandwich eg: one person to take the bread … More Day 2 – Plitvice Lakes, Croatia – 15th September 2022

Very nice digs we are holed up in for three nights. We especially like it because of this absolutely Di and Fras friendly remote control – the KISS Version 101 – Keep it Simple, Stupid.

It is a day of travel so not a lot to write about so we thought we might fill in a bit of space with some totally useless information about the Piccadilly Line which we have lived on for the last ten days and spent our retirement funds using. We have highlighted where Karen and … More Croatia Bound – 13th September 2022

Another big day of touring today. Our tour guide Karen, has done an amazing job of getting us around as well as booking all our activities and scheduling them. We have done and seen a lot of stuff thanks to her masterful planning abilities. Today was no exception!!! First order of the day was to … More City of London – 12th September 2022

Our plan for today was to catch the tube into Piccadilly and then walk to Trafalgar Square, through Admiralty Arch and up the Mall to Buckingham Palace and maybe see the floral tributes to the Queen on our way to the Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington. We knew from yesterday on our way to … More Very Bad Planning – 11th September 2022

Now this blog may well cause many of you to raise your eyebrows as this is going to be all about cricket.  Before we get into the play of the day we wanted to let everyone know that this was the first sporting event since the Queen’s death where God Save the King was sung. … More A Day at the Oval – 10th September 2022

Wolfgang sent through a link to us of his video of our wonderful canal boat trip from Limehouse Dock to Brentford Lock. He has become a very tab hand at making vlogs and very good one’s at that. He suggests in the video that you can go up to 4 min and  52 sec mark … More Back to the Great Thames Trip – 6th September 2022
