Fraser's fables: Cappadocia - Rocks!!!
http://fraserjwilson.blogspot.com/2014/05/cappadocia-rocks.html
Tuesday, 27 May 2014. If you don't like rocks, then look away now. We arrived late after a short flight from Istanbul and were driven to our hotel in the dark. The hotel itself was supposed to be a cave, but it wasn't really. At least it was made out of the same rock. Straight away, into the rocks, and this is right beside the road. Wandering the Derwent valley. At the Zelve Open Air Museum. Wheel for grinding grain in the background. Camels for the tourists, and fairy chimneys. Our 'Cave' Hotel room.

Fraser's fables: June 2012
http://fraserjwilson.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 18 June 2012. A wintry weekend escape to Cradle Mountain was on the agenda. We flew into Launceston and it was like landing in Dunedin, small airport slightly out of town and a calm, clear, cold winter's day. It was a couple of hours drive to Cradle Mountain but the roads were quiet and the scenery was good. Our little cottage was excellent, small wooden hut but good facilities and good heating. We went for a walk to a couple of waterfalls on the Saturday afternoon. Bush on the way to waterfalls.

Friday, 18 January 2013. Shanon and Katie were over for a week in mid January. Kelley was well organised with a plan that involved a day at the Australian Open tennis, a trip to the theatre to see Jersey Boys and a wine tour in the Yarra Valley courtesy of their friendly driver. They had a good day. Kelley, Katie, and Shanon. Drinks at Chandon at the end of the day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Fraser's fables: Blue Cruise
http://fraserjwilson.blogspot.com/2014/05/blue-cruise.html
Friday, 30 May 2014. After a second breakfast and a bit of a snooze, we plucked up the courage to take on the rugged descent down the cliff to Butterfly valley. The guidebook recommended caution and noted that an Australian tourist had died attempting the descent so that made me wanted to give it a crack even more! Steep 'track' down to the valley. Side of the valley from halfway down the track. One day cruise boat at Butterfly beach. On the ferry to Olundeniz. Paraglider from Mt Babadag. The two days in...

Saturday, 29 December 2012. Peter and Robyn's visit Christmas 2012. Peter and Robyn arrived for a well deserved holiday for the week encompassing Christmas, Boxing day test and Kelley's birthday. They didn't get much of a holiday, it was rather busy. The day after they arrived was a harsh welcome to summer in Melbourne with hot winds and a temperature nearing 40 degrees. We escaped by heading out to Healsville and enjoying a late celebration of Peter's birthday with a seafood buffet. The old cabinets wer...

Friday, 20 April 2012. Dad and the pups. Four pups keeping Dad amused on the lawn at Alexandra. Pups of Bevan's dog Moss and Dad's dog Spy. Friday, 13 April 2012. Weka foraging for food on a rainy start at Ships Cove. More Weka, there were plenty of them and very curious. Lunchtime was at Furneaux Lodge. Typical Marlborough Sounds view, spoiled by the rain and grey clouds. This is more like it, day 2 views. Kelley about to tackle some steep rocky downhill. Brief respite from pushing uphill. Our trip to t...

Thursday, 23 January 2014. Tennis Season, 2014. Mum and her friend Elva were here to stay for the middle week of the Australian Open, arriving in 40 degrees and braving their first day in those temperatures. They handled it extremely well. After another couple of days and a night session with us, Elva went home and Mum stayed on for another week for a holiday of watching tennis. Stan serving against Robredo in the 4th round. He went on to win. Warwinka v Robredo, night session. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, 1 February 2015. Rail trail with tunnel in the distance. Kelley booked a night away in the Goulburn Valley on my birthday weekend. We had only ever driven through the area so didn't know it well but it has an excellent rail trail and I had a good blast on the Saturday afternoon on that. Follow the trail of horse poo. View out the other side of the tunnel. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
