I had a quick trip to Barcelona to speak to some senior executives at Telefónica, we used the opportunity to also take a few days off and check out Barcelona. We were also there for the football world cup, yep in the middle of Barcelona when Spain won, it was crazy. Here are some pics… Continue reading ‘Barcelona’

Sharne & I decided to get remarried in Las Vegas to celebrate 10 years of Wedded bliss.
Of course we just had to do the full Elvis wedding at The Graceland Wedding Chapel (Click Here For the Wedding Video). Located at the seedy end of the The Strip between a bail bond place and a pawn shop.
We flew out on Tuesday, stayed at The Venetian Hotel (thoroughly recommend it) & returned on Friday.
Sorry not much text in this posting, but lots of photos documenting our 3 nights in sin city. Everything else that happened in Vegas will stay in Vegas, including our money. Continue reading ‘Viva Las Vegas, 10 Year Wedding Anniversary!’
Christmas was fabulous spent with Malc’s sister Rochelle and Neal, playing Wii (Malc’ Xmas present) for about 9 hours straight until our arms couldn’t take any more. Not really boozy but plenty to eat. Boxing day Rochelle and Neal left pretty early and we did a quick tidy up, gave the hamsters 5 days worth of food and set off for Heathrow. A quick flight to Prague where we were picked up by our driver (apparently cabbies are notorious for ripping tourists off), and dropped into the heart of the old town where we were staying in a 14th century guest house. They really look down upon the new town as it’s only 500 years old. Continue reading ‘Xmas & Prague’
We got into Paris late Friday night, malc booked a boutique hotel in the latin quarter, 2 stops from Notre Dame. When we were settled in reception called and bought us up a bottle of champagne.
We decided to spend Saturday at the Louvre, as last time we only walked around it looking at the building and that took 2 hours. Not much of a queue which was great as it got to 32 degrees and there’s no shelter. We mainly did the floor with Mona lisa, the medieval Louvre in the basement and the Egyptian floor. Sharne reckon’s we would have been lucky to cover about 1/10th of what is there in 2 hours – too much to see and it was wickedly hot. Continue reading ‘Paris take deux’
We spent the long weekend in NY, had an sensational time! Weather was not the great but didn’t stop us getting out and about (yep including keeping it real on the subway). Statue of Liberty a real highlight, nice present, thanks France. Walk in Central park & brunch followed by Natural History Museum, outstanding.

As the G20 is on there have been a number of protests in London. This lot came past the house today, were all peaceful. Message was free education muddled in with some other stuff, pity it didn’t also extend to taking a bath, but hey it’s a free country.
With heavy snow falls over night (15-20cm), London has effectively closed. Sharne did go to work this morning but is one of the few commuters that could get anywhere this morning.
