Travel

I went to look around Deadwood, South Dakota, after our tour coach stopped at our hotel in Lead. We were given 20 minutes to rest, and our coach driver offered to drop us off in Deadwood.

Denver, Colorado, was the starting point for my National Monuments & Parks tour in 2011. 

Today, I joined the MSC Lirica for my cruise. 

Day 1 of my cruise around the Mediterranean started when I was picked up by a coach in Los Alcázares and driven to Valencia to board my ship, the Costa Toscana.

Today I boarded my cruise ship the Costa Diadema in Valencia for my cruise around the Mediterranean.

I liked the Arizona, Sonora Desert Museum and was disappointed we didn't have more time to spend there.

We were not scheduled to visit the Devils Tower National Monument. We were supposed to be going to the site of the battle of Custer's Last Stand but due to landslides, we couldn't get through to it. 

At the start of 2017, I stayed at my apartment in Davenport, Florida, USA. I had rented it out previously and had to clear it up after the people renting it had left and made a mess of it, making it difficult to sell. I decided to visit

My friend Derek had very kindly got his wife a tour of the Emirates Stadium for her to go & see the hallowed turf. He had even managed to get the legendary Charlie George to be the tour guide.

Today, the NCL Spirit sailed the Endicott Arm, allowing us to view the Dawes Glacier.

This morning, I ate at the breakfast buffet, & drank one or two cups of Coca tea that I had gotten used to on this trip. 

Today, we visited many exciting places in Beijing. It was like walking through the pages of a history book.

On day 4 of my holiday, the Costa Favolosa, docked at Cadiz, Spain & I went ashore for a prebooked tour.

Today, we explored Marrakech, visiting places in and around the medina, but we started the day at the Jardin Majorelle and Yves Saint Laurent Memoriam.

Today I woke up as we entered the port of Recife, Brazil. I went on a short coach tour to see Recife & Olinda & had my first taste of Brazil.

Shanghai is the fastest developing city in China & today went on a sightseeing tour of the city. 

Today, I flew from Heathrow in London to Lima in Peru via Madrid in Spain with Iberia Airlines. Getting to the airport was easy. Tony, a friend of mine, took me to Heathrow & because of a clear run, we were there an hour before we needed to be.

I woke around 5:45 this morning, 15 minutes before my alarm went off. I packed my last belongings to take to Spain, made sure mum was okay & then sat watching television until my friend Les arrived to pick me up to take me to Fareham train Station.

When I got my health and travel insurance sorted out after moving to Spain, I decided to go away for a short break. After scouring the internet for somewhere to go for a couple of days, I found a 3-day 2-night break to see the 'White Night of Flamenco', which is in Cordoba and

I will fly from Madrid to Tokyo today.
