Travel

Today I will be going on an escorted tour of Tokyo.

While in Tombstone, Arizona, I visited Boothill Graveyard and the OK Corral. 

Today I began my holiday & cruise to Rio de Janeiro, I set off from Los Alcazares to travel to Barcelona.

My holiday to China began early in the morning when my friend Tony picked me up from my home in Fareham. He took me to Gatwick Airport for an Air China flight to Beijing.

After breakfast today, we left the hotel for the short drive through Puno to the pontoon, where a boat took us out onto Lake Titicaca.

Today the ship arrived back in Valencia, Spain & I travelled back to Los Alcazares.

I got up at around 6:30 am as the people I was with on the cruise were due to meet at the disembarkation point at 7:30 am. I went to a coffee bar & had a cappuccino & some pastries for my breakfast & then went to where I had to wait to be disembarked.

Today, the NCL Spirit docked in Vancouver, and the cruise part of my trip came to an end.

I was up early today & after a shower, I went for tea in the Yangtze Club & watched Dr Hu & a few passengers going through their Tai Chi routine. At about 7:30 am, I went for breakfast & met the rest of the VIP crew before we all went our

My friends Kathy & Tony messaged me & asked if I wanted to go & see the Arsenal U21 team when they played VillaReal C, in San Pedro del Pinatar. As an Arsenal fanatic, I of course jumped at the invitation to go with them.

Since I was very young and used to watch Magnum PI, starring Tom Selleck, on television, I have wanted to see the Hawaiian islands. Some of my friends have been and they have all

Today, I went on an escorted tour to see the Waimea Canyon.

This morning we took a train into the centre of Madrid, to the Old Town in the 'Puerto del Sol', or 'Gate of the Sun'. We saw two guides who were giving guided tours, the type Paul & I like, they were free & you just gave a tip if you enjoyed the tour.

I got up around 9:00 am, which is late for me; I had a relatively good night's sleep. I went to get breakfast in the hotel restaurant & was immediately unimpressed by the person letting me in.

The White Sands National Monument is in the northern Chihuahuan Desert. It is known for its dramatic landscape of rare white gypsum dunes.

After breakfast, the coach transferred us to the airport for our flight to Xi'an. I was surprised to discover that although the plane we were flying on, internally was smaller than the plane we flew to China, it had more legroom.

Today, we left Xi´an after breakfast. We were picked up by a coach at the hotel & driven to the airport to catch a flight to Chengdu. 

I woke early this morning to find we had moved overnight & were docked further up the Yangtze River. At around 6:45 am, I went to the Yangtze Club on deck 5, where I had tea with Branwen, our fantastic tour rep. At 7:00 am, I went to deck 6 for breakfast in the restaurant.

I didn't know what to expect at the Yuma Territorial Prison but I found the tour very interesting and informative.
