2015 Special Events

Europe tour

29/6/2015

Marg and Dave have started the tour of Europe.  Watch this post for a snippet of the travels.
Picture
Singapore Airlines took us to Changi Airport (see insert) and then a change of planes to Istanbul.  This second flight was late leaving and so there was a challenge to our connection with Turkish Airline for the next leg.  On arrival after the 11hr flight from Singapore to Istanbul we had 20mins to find the Turkish flight in a different terminal.  Like most planes in Istanbul it seems, our plane parked on the other side of the airport with the terminal just visible on the horizon. A single bus arrived (for 300 passengers!!!) and proceeded to load Business Class and depart, leaving all other passengers with seat belts still intact.
The ground attendant identified us as having the connection and, after a 10min bus trip, personally escorted us through transit checks, through the 000’s people and directly to our Turkish departure gate. No hastle! Another wad of expense justified.

Turkish Airline to Prague was simply another bit of the holiday.  2hr flight with chef on board (including the balloon chef hat) was just a restaurant experience. Marg reckons the best selection of olives she has had and finished off with a Turkish coffee.
On arrival in Prague we were able to check in to our accommodation for the next few days.  Grandiore Hotel is conveniently located near the Vltara River and Old Town Square.  As per normal procedure – drop bags and head out with map and get acclimatized to this world heritage city.  We seemingly wandered aimlessly (actually it was because we were a little lost most of the time!) and just took in the sights for a couple of hours.  The Old Town Square and Powder Tower in Federal Square were highlights.

Off-season activities

The last bit of 2014 was very busy with a bit of travel, a couple of weddings and the usual lead up to Xmas.  Here are a few snippets.
If you have a story to share then send me an email and perhaps a photo or two.

Tassie beckons

Not long after the Grand Final, and as part of the joint wedding anniversary, the O'Mara's and Werner's took a couple of weeks off in Tassie.
Taking the Spirit of Tasmania was a great experience and we experienced high tree walks, the red rocks of Binalong Bay, fantastic walks in Frecynet National Park, the history of Richmond and a highlight at MONA in Hobart.

South America beckons

Kate Walsh has spent much of the time since the Grand Final on her tour of South America and Antarctica.
The proverbial trip of a lifetime.  Some of her travels and experiences can be seen on her blog.

Weddings in December




Just before Xmas Erin (O'Mara) and Adam bowled us over with a lovely outdoor wedding.






December started with Stew (Price) and Prue making the commitment.  They have worked together for years and now have settled back in Melbourne.






A chillout week at Cowes

Pelicans, fishing, the Veitnam Veterans Museum and lots of R&R was just what was need in March.
