Without much creative mojo. I think work has sucked it out of me. Hoping the upcoming adventures will light a spark!
- Another day another port (or two) - visiting the Temple of Horus.One of today’s gobsmacking stops: Tomb of Ramesses VI in the Valley of the Kings.Flew down to Luxor and spent two half-days being whisked around sites of ancient awesomeness.When in Giza...D3 in Egypt which has been based in the madness of Cairo thus far, tomorrow we head south. Today we visited ‘the’ pyramids.Bonus street art sighting during this morning’s breakfast missionSome bee action in our gardenGave a new track a whirl. Maybe will go up it next time. Maybe. Possibly. Slight chance. Probably won’t.The tiny coastal flowers were receiving a stern lesson about the Wellington wind, reluctantly concluding that the sign on the hill had some truth to it.For as long as I can remember this house in Hataitai, which looks like may have been a shop once upon a time, has had one or more of these happy fellas sitting in their front window.Big loop walk into the city, home via the tunnel where the horn tooters have no idea how loud those damn things are when they toot right by youThat would be a northerlyToi toiSome tree delight from last weekend’s Christchurch wanderings.In amongst the rebuild and cleared lots, sights/sites like this in the Chch CBD are now the exception rather the norm. Ducks were making good use of this particular place!Seriously love these blossom trees! I’m a bit late to catch the daffodils in their prime but have timed these to perfection.Duck family fleeing from the terror that is small childrenAn arty fence thing on the walk through town where I got acquainted with the rebuild progress in the last six months. Excited by the alleyways and shops, and riverfront bars - the CBD is starting to look really good!Christchurch is living up to its reputation - the blossoms and spring flowers are just stunning!Hello Christchurch
