Life is not a Practice

I started the new year with a whoile series of business meetings in and around the beautiful city of Varaždin in Croatia. On the flight to Zagreb there were 26 passengers on board and everyone got three seats.



The city is stunning, the people are efficient and friendly and I can't wait to return in summer.

Stuck in Agadir waiting for Atlantic storms to abate so took a trip to Marakesch.

A quick trip to Ardfern in Argyll, Scotland to look at a boat.



Flew to Edinburgh and then drove across to Ardfern. Next day did the whole thing the other way.

When I was in the army I never made it to Gibralter so I added it to my itinary this year.



It is just as strange as I expected. After driving for four hours through Spain you suddenly arrive in a little corner of Britain. Normal countries have barriers that come down for trains to cross the road, Gibralter has a runway crossing the road. I had to wait for a Hercules and the "tea time flight" from London to land before I could continue.

The high street looked like any English town with red telephone boxes, police in helmets and rain. And no one took Euros - pounds or nothing. All in all a very surreal experience.
