Greenpossum in 2004: Figueres and Girona

http://www.green-possum-2004.blogspot.com/2004/06/figueres-and-girona.html

My trip to Cuba, Canary Islands, Spain (Costa Brava), Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and France (Pyrénées-Orientales and Alsace). Friday, June 4, 2004. I didn't fancy the restaurants with the multilingual signs outside. Persevering, I found El Trull d'en Baserba. In the evening I explored the Universitat de Girona. Situated above the old city. I like evening light, it is gentler on landscapes. This stone walkway was interesting. Possibly part of an old city wall. In Belgium but the weather was better.

Greenpossum in 2004: May 2004

http://www.green-possum-2004.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html

My trip to Cuba, Canary Islands, Spain (Costa Brava), Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and France (Pyrénées-Orientales and Alsace). Monday, May 31, 2004. The lodgers in the neighbouring room yakked into the night again, but I got even in the morning. I put on my earplugs before going to bed, set the alarm for half an hour before I really wanted to arise and then ignored its beeps. Not very charitable but satisfying. It was Sunday so I didn't have to get up early. I reached the markets in Teguise. I had...

Greenpossum in 2004: Dalí Theatre and Museum

http://www.green-possum-2004.blogspot.com/2004/06/dali-theatre-and-museum.html

My trip to Cuba, Canary Islands, Spain (Costa Brava), Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and France (Pyrénées-Orientales and Alsace). Friday, June 4, 2004. Dalí Theatre and Museum. In Catalan, Teatre-Museu Dalí. As the name indicates, isn't simply a museum for Salvador Dalí. The surrealist painter, but also a stage for Dalí. The showman. He loved to shock, but he also opened our eyes to new ways of seeing. I caught a regional to Figueres. Outside the entrance is this homage to Francesc Pujols. But which ...

Greenpossum in 2004: Poschiavo Valley

http://www.green-possum-2004.blogspot.com/2004/06/poschiavo-valley.html

My trip to Cuba, Canary Islands, Spain (Costa Brava), Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and France (Pyrénées-Orientales and Alsace). Monday, June 21, 2004. H is a very methodical person. In the days preceding my arrival he had monitored the weather situation, poring over maps, and come to the conclusion that we had a chance of passable weather for our hike in the Poschiavo. This is a finger of Italian speaking Switzerland that protrudes into Lombardy. You can see that the landscape around Ospizio Bernina.

My trip to Cuba, Canary Islands, Spain (Costa Brava), Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and France (Pyrénées-Orientales and Alsace). Tuesday, June 8, 2004. The grandkids were very reluctant to let me go. Their father was away, and it had been a long time since they had an adult who would push them on the swing, whirl them around till they were dizzy, etc. My cousin had grandkids; that made me feel old. His wife fed me a filling breakfast of noodles with beef and fish balls for the journey. I might have ...

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. Security for the AVE for Atocha includes X-raying of luggage. I don...

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.

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Sunday, November 1, 2009. I will pass this way but once. If I may turn this phrase to another use. To every local who helped me gain my bearings, or overlooked my massacre of your language while trying to communicate: obrigado e felicidade.

Greenpossum in 2009: Polvo Grelhado

http://green-possum-2009.blogspot.com/2009/09/polvo-grelhado.html

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...

Greenpossum in 1986

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.

Greenpossum in 1988

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...

Greenpossum in 1993

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...

My trip to France, Portugal and South America (Brazil, Argentina and Chile) in 1997. Friday, November 14, 1997. I caught bus 86 to the airport and spent the rest of my pesos on a sandwich and a drink. We were a little late departing. A few hours into the flight, in the small hours of the morning, we had a refueling stop at Rio Gallegos. Was one of the pioneers in the opening up of routes to Patagonia, and his experiences formed the basis of his novel Night Flight. Labels: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It was...

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...

My trip to Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and Germany. Saturday, July 7, 2007. Auf wiedersehen, Europa. German breakfasts are ample, there's no doubt about that. 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. It looks like a train station that just grew and grew. There were surprisingly few retailers. Maybe it had something to do with the renovations. The rain) Ever Stop? It was...

Ah what a good feeling it is to sleep in my own bed again. Trams of Hong Kong. As promised, here is a gallery of a few interesting trams of Hong Kong. Tourism advertising for Korea.

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.

Greenpossum in 2012

My trip to the Balearic Islands in 2012. Sunday, October 14, 2012. Looking back, and ahead. And so, with a last morning stroll along Pinewalk on the foreshore of Port Pollença, my vacation in the Balearic Islands was at an end. All I had left to do was drive the rental car to the airport (and hope for no breakdown or traffic jams) and take off. What would I have done different? I dislike airports, especially crowded ones. Adults are usually stressed or even panicking and don't watch where they are go...
