Fantasies from the top deck

One of the reasons I always enjoyed the ride home to battersea or clapham on the 137. Isn't he a beauty?





Hyde Park Corner




(erected to commemorate the glorious heroes of the machine gun corps who fell in the great war 1914-1919)

Sardinian Buggers

Beautiful island, I think the nicest beaches and water I've seen around the Med.. mmm, maybe I need to see more, yes yes, I do. Ok, I will, alright, stop, you've made your point, I will do some more investigation and report back, I thank you.


Can you guess why I liked this one?? huh?? huh??

Open your golden gates baby

Mmm, yes, they were right, I loved San Fran, shame I didn't have more time, I was tootin' me horn and dingin' me bell all day long on the trollies, woohoo! After this pic I got a haircut in the Castro from some lovely mexicans who chat and give you shandy booze and told me about the local goin' ons. Later a clam chowder in a loaf, I don't eat carbs of course so I licked the bowl, no swallowing.

Mmm Dolly

I sure did love Dolly and I sure was surprised how she filled the Stockholm stadium, it was packed with dollettes, yes, that's what we calls them, I was more of a voyeur in that respect.

Moonstone Beach, San Simeon, CA

After an afternoon driving up from LA, and thinking about a beach and some peace, and some pieces of fishy and wine, I decided to stop at my name sake's (almost) seaside town and unexpectedly got just what I wanted - which was nice :)

LALA Land

Just a quickie.. coz it's the famous sign in the distance and kinda fits coz although I am enjoying it alot, there are too many dead looking people on the streets for the centre of this rich country.
I saw Tracy Ullman on the freeway in a rather sporty bmw - and I've had me heart broken in 17 places all over the city ever since, Tracy fan's, you know what I mean :)

Rarotongan arvos

I think I'm goin' throught a minialist phase, so only a few photos here and there. Was lovely, poppin abart on me bike; next time I'm going to check out the cargo boat option - they route round all the islands in a month.. Mmm..

Roto-stinky-rua, but nice

Muddy ploppin', it was very vigours

The champagne pool, the colours are so mucho more intense than the camera reveals.

Jacks gets steamy

Cabo del este

There were so many art decos and I didn't take many shots for some reason.

When leaving, I saw the most beautiful building near the port, a Tobacco company, but didn't get a pic, bugger bollocks.
well, I was there.. but I'm not now, they try to confuse you, you know.

Wild black beach, before reaching Napier, sea appears so powerful, quite scary

Looking back to Gisbourne, from the mountains

On a lake, an hour before Napier, I found some very friendly black swans and I think there ducklike pal, but i'm not sure, us not being initmates.

view back to Tauranga, along the coast road from Whakatane, start of the eastern Cape.

Poverty Bay, por la madrugada, beautiful moon.

Te Araroa, the most easterly town of New Zealand, Mmm and lovely fishy and kumara.


All these fotos are in the wrong order, but I can't be bothered to reorder them. Started with lunch with Matty in Tauranga, and got to Napier the following afternoon; back in Cambridge by the evening, if you were wondering, I know I was.

Playa de culitos calientes

well, it would have been if I'd arrived at low tide, bugger
