the journey continues

Im back.....for those that dont know we have been intransit since saturday because of a strike by Air France, supposed to get a flight direct from Morocco to Singapore. Got to the airport and our flight had been canceled. Two days later we are put on Turkish Airline flight-from-hell to Istanbull, fours hours later leaving due to cargo doors not closing, they seem to　this was a major deal...missed the next connecting flight to singapore, then put on another flight last night (12hrs) and am now typing this from a free internet cafe in....wait for it.....Tokyo. In a couple of　hours we take a flight (8 hrs) to Singapore to hopefully arrive there early in the morning. Lots of other things have happened but I don;t have all night to repeat. Its a great way to see lots of interbnational airports without buying a round-the-world ticket.

Even with the days hanging around airports, getting on and off and endless slow security checks, its still better than going to work.

Quad Comp Results

The judging for the annual Quad Comp was held last night in Castlemaine, with excellent representation from all clubs. The Judge for the night was Norm Dack (hope the spelling is correct) and there were some excellent entries. Congratulations to all who had images entered by their respective clubs.
Bendigo was lucky enough to come away with first place. Well done everyone.

Another couple of very busy days, visiting the Louve, if your into the arts you could spend several days looking at everything, 30 minutes was enough for me. I went to Disneyland yesterday, was cold and raining in the morning. No long lines anywhere in.
 
Today we climbed to the top of the Arc De Triomph, although Sacreh Coue and Notra Dame were harder. Tonight we had a tour of Paris by Citreon cars with open top roof, bit cold but was great for taking photos. We were able stop anywhere and get some photos. It was good fun, but terrifying. Our driver seemed to be worse than any others on the rode. Tomorrow morning we leave to fly to Morocco, I think we need a holiday first to get over Paris.
 
Not sure when we will get internet access again once we get to Morocco.
