This was just down the way from our hotel in Annecy. Stunning Autumn colours!

Whilst cruising down the Thames on on of the Thames Clipper ferries, we came across this Golden Yacht.

Talk about stand out in a croud!

Well we had a fabulous finale to the Interferry conference this year with a well organised dinner in an old sail training college built in the 1600’s in Greenwich, just near the actual Greenwich mean time line.
Stunning place and excellent food. Well done to the Interferry team for organising it and also to Sean Collin’s team from Thames Clippers.
I had a very interesting end to the evening though!
I chose to take the early bus back to the hotel as we are flying back in the morning and walked outside and jumped on the bus that was sitting where the arrival bus dropped us off.
The problem was, it was not an interfere bus and I ended up miles away and only twigged when the driver turned the bus off!
I thought Oh oh…Houston we could have a problem here! In the middle suburbia where no cabs are likely to be and Google Maps is telling me its about a 25 minute drive to the hotel, so walking was out of the question!
Then around the corner comes a cabby on the way home after his last fare and he pulled over.
Thank goodness or I would still be out there I reckon!
All part of life’s adventures i guess! 😎😎😎

We are in London at the moment at the Interferry conference and on the first day we had a Mini Copper S excursion around the city which was kinda fun!

Here’s something a little different!

Here are a couple more images from half way up Mont Blanc in full Autumn bloom.

Stunning colours and scenery everywhere you look!

Had a cracker day out with the camera today.

First up I went half way up Mount Blanc and Pinged away for an hour or so.

We then drove to Annecy and this little tree tunnel is just next to the hotel we are staying in.

Plenty More where these came from!

The dancing light before the storm at Mont Blanc.

Thunder and lightning now!

Mont Blanc is indeed a pretty place and I am going to get up and above it soon doing a paraglide as a tandem.

Being a tandem will be a first for me but it will free me up for some photos!

We went to a restaurant in Nice today with some friends which was right on the flight path of the landings to the airport.

I reckon this Emerates A380 was on the way to pick up a lot of the Aussy contingent from the show!

Right place…right time!
