Travels, tales and experiences, with an occasional rant. Saturday, August 25, 2007. Only a few days to go before we set off on our first bit of travel since retiring - we are heading for Beijing, where we will be staying for up to a week - checking out all ( or as many as we can ) of the sights, then we head south towards Shanghai, then further south finishing off in Hong Kong in about 5 weeks time. The itinerary is not set so as we are going by public transport we can pick 'n' choose as we go. At the br...

Robert: July 2007

Travels, tales and experiences, with an occasional rant. Wednesday, July 04, 2007. Checkout William on the TV. Yes William is presenting the news on a new Internet based TV channel - He is in Tehran and is one of the presenters who give English spoken news from Iran and around the world. The production is certainly different as is the content, but it is interesting to see a different perspective and a different set of pictures to those seen on BBC and SKY. Opened the TV Station on Monday 2nd July 2007.

Travels, tales and experiences, with an occasional rant. Sunday, November 26, 2006. Water shortage what shortage. Not posted for a while so it's timefor a bit iof a rant. Once again the other day Potters Bar was gridlocked because under the railway bridge was flooded again - a prime example of too much water rather than not enough, I think this was the second time this winter and hey its only November, how many more times is this going to happen this winter. I know they are private companies and they nee...

Travels, tales and experiences, with an occasional rant. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. A Bank Holiday Weekend away at Great Yarmouth. Well the weekend has come and gone - but at least we did something a bit different, we went to Great Yarmouth and had a really good time, the weather was very kind to us, and we found a nice B&B that didn't charge too much and gave us a hearty breakfast each day, the room itself was adequate. Will check it out again in a few more years. On the Saturday evening we went to an ...

Travels, tales and experiences, with an occasional rant. Tuesday, October 24, 2006. Return to Soeul / Incheon then back home to the UK. We packed and left the suitcase at the hotel, as we had half a day before going back to Incheon. We went by taxi to see more relics in the museum in WONGJU, much like those seen before, but still pretty impressive. Afterwards we caught the local bus back to the town centre. it went all around most of the tourist sites, some we had seen - others we had not. Later on we me...

What a hectic but exciting time.

This was my last ever day ( well half day) of work before retiring, though I am sure I will have lots of different sor...
