What A Trip!

Warm greetings to all who visited the blog over the last few months from Barbados, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Russia and USA. I know it's been a while. Work. Life. Travelling. Yes - travelling. I was over and away a couple of months ago.

I'll share some photos from my trip. I'm not great at selfies, so I apologize.

I began this blog last month, planning to regale all with my misadventures. For the first time ever I missed my flight - not that I'm the one who checks in first, but I make sure I'm not the last. The outgoing flight was delayed and although we made very good time, I missed my check-in time by 5 minutes. How annoying is that? 😠

Then my first day I got lost - well I took a bus in the wrong direction. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I was in a multilingual country. Some people didn't speak English though. Aaarrghhh.😒

Well, the couples who preferred to snog on each landing rather than go down in the elevator with me ae not worthy of comment. FYI...they didn't look like me. I think there were only 3 instances of that though. 

Then there was the Mom with the little girls and none of the little ones wanted to sit next to me. Come to think of it, the mother preferred to sit next to one of her girls. Hmmmm. Oh my. 🙊 They didn't look like me either. It's a good thing my perspective can be sardonic.

To top it off, one of my poorly packed suitcases actually toppled over on the escalator and knocked me over too. Good grief. 🙄

And I don't like flying so every air pocket was a mighty prayer. 🤢

Still, I survived. I eventually found my way around on terra firma and I had no unpleasantness at my hotel - or any real issues with any of the service providers on the continent.  

Here are those images I took - few though they are. It was a rainy morning.

                                                          The Clock Tower

                                                                Loving the historic architecture

Note that I've not said where I visited. Some may recognise it. Some may not. It's a pleasant, quiet city. 

Until next time.

Shalom.
