Hello dear readers. It has been an unseasonably busy time. I have been at the Monaco Yacht Show. The last time I was here I was a lowly deckhand. Life was simpler. The reasons for attending are much the same: trying to attract an interested buyer. We arrived on the Monday before the show and […]
In the Bay of Kotor lies the ancient city of Kotor, which is incredibly old and rich in history. The Venetians contributed much of its unique architecture, which persists today. Daily cruise ship visits give the city a very different vibe compared to Tivat. Silvi and I spent our Sunday morning in search of the […]
I was recalled to work a few days early. Explaining this to my Son did not go well. My rotation partner had an unfortunate accident. Thankfully he is American and I could deflect the blame at America. Members of the USA basketball team, I apologise for the nerf bullets that were shot at our TV. […]
It turns out oral surgery is not the best base for blogging. Plenty of blood and tears but the sweat escapes me. I have been enjoying peaceful time in my temporary super accomodation. I did make a couple of supplementary excursions that were not treatment related. The abundance of time distorting commercial enterprises with attached […]

Lingering in Verona was a wise decision. I spied a slogan about it being the most Italian of cities. I certainly reconnected with some of the better facets of Italia. Nurtured nature. Centuries on show. Gelato. Speaking of which we ate exceptionally well in Italia. Silvi unironically ate some horse. What a Woman. We left […]
Verona was founded in 49BC. Its geographical location between Venice and Milan has always given it significance for trade, defence and tourism. Our day began in a whimsical fashion. We engaged in some vague shopping. Instagram and guided tours have sadly destroyed Juliet’s balcony. We did find a nice place for lunch. Just like Venice […]
Have you ever woken up before your mind and body? I did yesterday. Silvis 3:10 am alarm was pulsing on the bedside table. I pleasantly let her know it was time to wake up. Half an hour later my body and mind had worked out something was up. Our trip to Italy was unfolding. Barcelona […]
I had a very lazy Monday, eating a vegan buffet from the hotel and visiting the nearest beach. Barcelona was in the middle of a thunderstorm and just one hour away the weather was perfect. I made my way to Playa Soleil for my 8pm dinner reservation. A beach club, with a large assortment of […]
