The passage of time in Wellington and elsewhere
A visit on a quiet day in Siem Reap to the land mines museum. An hour each way on the tuk-tuk which was an interesting event in itself. An interesting story of further inhumanity.
What grabbed me was the reality of the
child soldiers and recounting Pol Pot.
Winding our way from HCMC to Chau Doc on the bus yesterday. A long day with a certain level of anxiety as we went from taxi to shuttle and then to the bus without being sure if we were waiting in the right place. The 6 hours on the bus wasn’t to bad in the end.
A lovely day in the countryside on the back of mopeds today.

A week late but all the same……
Four days away tramping the exquisite beauty of Abel Tasman, with beautiful weather and the company of your daughter.
It was great fun. Beautiful. Lovely weather. Huts were good quality. Good exercise.
Will do more in the future having learnt from this experience regarding kit and food.
Here is the photo gallery.
We have lived here for twelve years and this activity has always been on the agenda. Now it has happened. A scorching day, with lots of energy needed and aching feet the result.
Sara came down the massive shale
escarpment pictured above. High fives.
Boxing day in the sun. After a Christmas day spent at home with lots of food and the company of the children,this morning involved a communal run along the waterfront. From the needle by St. Pats to Point Jerningham in the sunshine, though little wind, we ran. A beautiful way to spend a beautiful morning despite the physical discomfort.
There was an eye opener.Age is catching me. Finally all three children were able to out run me. The peak is well gone though one must keep going. I was pleased to do the the 7.5Km in particular, that the foot injury was quiet.
All again tomorrow.
48 hours in Wellington, New Zealand: where to go, what to do
It’s cool-as, cute, culinarily blessed and compact. Wherever you are in the Kiwi capital, chances are you’re a 10-minute stroll from the next place you want to be

My memory was prodded by needing to think about an overseas trip for my French homework. It made me think of the school trip to Brienz with St. John’s when we were in class seven, around 10 or 11 years old.
A trip across Europe by coach(?) boat and train from west London. Looking back it was a great thing to be doing.
If found the youth hostel on the web. I remember the place well enough to recognise the images. Amazing really.
Brienz – Hostels – Swiss Youth Hostels.
The year before I had gone to Fiesch, also in Switzerland. Again I found what I think to be the sire though I do not remember it so clearly. Though I do remember the pool and the environs.
