travel notes from each of the cities, towns and places I have visited.

Hua Hin

Hua Hin Hua Hin
The bus adventures to and back.
The swim towards the sea.
The compromise. The talks. The cashlessness in "town centre" and beyond.
Nothing was black and white, and even the few photos were lost.

Suzhou

上有天堂,下有蘇杭
 …or so they say. 
China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou
China, Suzhou China, Suzhou China, Suzhou
A very memorable start of the year.

Te Aroha

New Zealand, Te Aroha New Zealand, Te Aroha New Zealand, Te Aroha

Paeroa

New Zealand, Paeroa New Zealand, Paeroa
The P in L&P.
 Also found in ice-cream, chocolates, muffins and all sorts.
 "It delivers," they said and then gobbled gobbled.

Hangzhou

上有天堂,下有蘇杭
 …or so they say. 
China, Hangzhou
China, Hangzhou China, Hangzhou China, Hangzhou
China, Hangzhou China, Hangzhou China, Hangzhou
China, Hangzhou China, Hangzhou China, HangzhouChina, Hangzhou
China, Hangzhou China, Hangzhou China, Hangzhou
China, Hangzhou China, Hangzhou
Because of a minor incident (which might have involved damaging a camera lens), I was sure I didn’t manage to get any decent photos, but some turned out to be alright. I suppose there is some truth in that Chinese saying about the beauty of the scenery. Autumn leaves around the lake. Green curtains. Christmas tree in the wrecking ball. Bubbles, bubbles, and pure pleasure.
