Greenpossum in 2000

My trip to Turkey in 2000. Sunday, July 2, 2000. I woke at 0500 and went up to the roof to watch the sunrise, and the still lit Aya Sofya and Blue Mosque against the daybreak. Then I went back to stretch the time until breakfast by reading the paper and doing my packing. Each room in the hotel had a poem. Mine was Listening to Istanbul. By Orhan Veli Kanik. Will I get stroked after doing what this strange human wants of me? On the board. Where the hell was that? I had retained a 1 million TL note as a ke...

Greenpossum in 2000: Kastelórizo

http://www.green-possum-2000.blogspot.com/2000/06/kastelorizo.html

My trip to Turkey in 2000. Saturday, June 17, 2000. I arose early and watched the sun set the island of Kastelórizo. Aglow This island of the Dodecanese. Just off the coast of Turkey, belongs to Greece. There used to be a significant number of Greeks on the Turkish mainland until their expulsion during the Greco-Turkish War. Of 1919-1922. Greece retained the islands which became far-flung territories. To visit Kastelórizo. Even just for a day, I had to cross to another country. Russian prostitutes) also ...

Greenpossum in 2000: Büyükada

http://www.green-possum-2000.blogspot.com/2000/06/buyukada.html

My trip to Turkey in 2000. Wednesday, June 28, 2000. In the morning, the train skirted the Asian coast of the Sea of Marmara for a long time. There were ugly high rises visible from the line. Our progress was slowed by the suburban trains of Istanbul, but it was all taken into account in the schedule. Here we have arrived at Haydarpaşa. So after taking photos I hopped onto the ferry crossing the Bosphorus for Karakoy. There was no feasible breakfast place there either so I walked across the Galata Bridge.

Greenpossum in 2000: June 2000

http://www.green-possum-2000.blogspot.com/2000_06_01_archive.html

My trip to Turkey in 2000. Friday, June 30, 2000. After the Grand Bazaar it was time to buy presents for home. I saw jam in a shop on Divan Yolu. This avenue whose name means Road to the Imperial Council, i.e. Topkapı. Starting from the Sultanahmet. District and running past the Grand Bazaar, was the first part of a road to Rome, some 1600 km away.) However I wanted to see if the prices were any better at Mısır Çarşisi. Spice Bazaar) first. They weren't but I got dainty lokum. I took a peek at the hamam.

Greenpossum in 2000: Mısır Çarşısı

http://www.green-possum-2000.blogspot.com/2000/06/msr-carss.html

My trip to Turkey in 2000. Monday, June 5, 2000. I walked down to the waterfront of Eminönü. The Galata Bridge crosses the Golden Horn. This is not the bridge between Europe and Asia, it just crosses an estuary of the Bosphorus where it opens into the Sea of Marmara. Today it is a bustling ferry and train terminal. Here I bought a barbecued mackerel sandwich from a vendor plying from a boat (it's the one dwarfed by the ship in the picture). After that I had a simit. The Spice Bazaar or Mısır Çarşısı.

Greenpossum in 2000: Datça

http://www.green-possum-2000.blogspot.com/2000/06/datca.html

My trip to Turkey in 2000. Tuesday, June 13, 2000. No, there's no mistake. I haven't skipped a day or had amnesia. I have decided to combine the two days in Datça. In one post because those two days were the most enjoyable of my Turkish trip and it would be hard to write two superlative postings. But I'm getting ahead of myself. We arrived at Mamaris. Wasn't until 1430. I had probably missed a connection. No matter, I had a lunch of a white bean salad, which wasn't half bad, in the otogar. A spruiker at ...

Greenpossum in 2009: September 2009

http://green-possum-2009.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Of course, it really means fierce dog. So you might want to be wary of dishes like spag bol in Brazil. But in the story, first I have to arrive here, so bear with me. In the morning, I paid my hotel bill. I find that they only take Visa so I say Pago á vista. Which you see here. This vehicle has doors for every row and no windows. In total the journey took over 7 hours. The pousada I have chosen is quite nic...

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Saturday, October 31, 2009. I have one day in Paris to see the beautiful Parisian women, er I mean, the beautiful Parisian landmarks. Anyway it looks like half the women here are tourists. No, make that about 90% from the number of cameras being whipped out. The last is a reworking of Olympia by Manet. So the French do have a sense of humour. Friday, October 30, 2009.

http://green-possum-2009.blogspot.com/2009/10/madrid.html

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Thursday, October 29, 2009. The Hotel Miau is very nice. Probably the best accommodation I will have this trip. Paris will cost more and probably be less comfy. I deserve some luxury at the end of this trip. Besides, how could I resist a name like Miau? They even have a pixellated cat for a logo. Puerta del Sol is where all distances in Spain are measured from and there is a Km 0 marker on the ground. There seem to be a lot of anti-GF...

http://green-possum-2009.blogspot.com/2009/10/cbdg.html

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Sunday, November 1, 2009. Charles de Gaulle airport should really have a 4-letter acronym so we fix that by inserting the great Aussie adjective. Terminal 2 is more conventional but rather strung out, like a chain of beads. I can't comment on Terminal 3 because I didn't use it. To be fair, the metro and RER B did deliver me to CdG comfortably and speedily. They do trains well in France.

To every local who helped me gain my bearings, or overlooked my massacre of your language while trying to communicate: obrigado e felicidade.

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Afé Guarany because the period decor looked fascinating. Incidentally FC Porto lost to Chelsea FC 1-0. There was a big screen in Guarany. Most of the diners were obviously visitors to Porto. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The AVE leaves at 1330 so I have time to explore a couple of the plazas. South of Huertas where I am staying is Lavapies. ( Lavapies t. An interesting pair of gender signs. After doing...

My trip in Europe in 1984. Saturday, 25 August 1984. The last scenery pictures I took before leaving London for the USA were of the Notting Hill Carnival. Labels: Notting Hill Carnival. Wednesday, 22 August 1984. Another trip I made was to Bangor in North Wales. It looks like I made a stopover at Chester since the trains passed there and took a picture of its Town Hall.

My road trip of Eastern Canada. Tuesday, 9 September 1986. Back to Rochester, NY. On her way out, M reminded me to lock up as I leave. Unfortunately I let the door slam with still one item of my baggage in. The flat. As luck would have it, it was the one with my passport. I. Couldn't get back into the States without that. I didn't want to bother. M at the office and I couldn't stand the idea of staying in. Montreal another day. So I tried the landlady. Unfortunately she was out. Half a dozen Molson.

My road trip through Michigan, Ontario and Quebec in August 1988. Monday, 29 August 1988. Back to the US. I got up early the next morning and threw my pillow at the girls. They were sleep. Y-eyed and not in a mood to enjoy the joke. I cleaned myself and went downstairs to. Have a doughnut breakfast in the lobby. I read the morning paper while waiting. The headline of the day was an air show disaster in Germany. More troubles in the world, but I really wasn't interested; I was going shopping. So I was lef...

My trip to Spain in 1993. Sunday, 30 May 1993. I arrived early at the bus terminal underneath Plaza de Colón. At the airport there was a vast row of check-in counters. Mine was the first flight of the day and I was the first check-in. Some passengers looked like they had spent the night in the airport. And so it was farewell to Spain for now. I would not be back until 2004 when I visited the Canary Islands, via Barcelona. Even with a month in hand, I had covered little ground. It's. As I write this in 20...

A few hours into the flight, in the small hours of the morning, we had a refueling stop at Rio Gallegos.

My flight was at noon, so I checked out after breakfast and was shuttled to the airport. Frankfurt Airport. Is huge, busy and efficient, but will never win any awards for elegance.

Greenpossum in 2011

My trips to Hainan Island and Shanghai, China. Friday, October 28, 2011. Shanghai and Hong Kong. But we ended up waiting an hour on the tarmac anyway. Perhaps some connecting flight was delayed. I suspect punctuality suffers on internal Chinese routes. I was happy when we finally took off. We arrived in Hong Kong 35 minutes late. The pilots probably stepped on the pedal a bit, but I think the airline also schedules some leeway for this sector. Location: Pudong Airport Rd, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China.
