Choo choo 2 Hue

-
Well that was a long day.
It started at 4.30 checking out from the Diamond King Hotel. Then a taxi to the railway station,  I had left loads of time and the station was not yet open.
Boarding was pretty  simple  apart  from finding my seat.
They put your seat nmber on the back of your seat, it causes  no end of problems.
There are always sellers with food and drink on these trains and I dined on sweet corn. 

For me, the countryside is similar to a train  ride in thailand. The people  are a little  different  and the prohibition mob have yet to take power so alcohol is allowed.
Here are a couple  of snaps. 
A little  late arriving at Hue and a taxi to the hotel.
Coffee.

A bit of an update

 Greetings all It has been a busy time here in the Trinder household. Our friends Steve and Izzy are here, it’s great to see then after the Covid enforced travel ban so here are a few snapshots of the stuff we have been up to. Christmas dinner at O.M.G A wander around the 700-year park A wine or two at Moment and Wine A walk by Mae Kuang Dam where the water is still so high the lower road is under and no longer accessible. Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden Mon Jam And the Stinky Canal. All of this has been wonderful but for Pin and I it is clouded by our Satang being seriously ill and needing an operation. The good news is she looks to be healing well and today, fingers crossed, she can come back home and we can be a family again.

Olympus Oldies Diary

November 2023 and a small bunch of retired Olympus UK oldies got together for bike rides, MotoGP and a trip to Vietnam. So I hastily put together some snaps to make a slide diary. Unfortunately my slideshow app kept crashing and simply would not produce the normal 4K video so here it is at FHD. Which, as it has taken all day to get it done is probably as good as this will be, at least until I know what is going wrong.

Olympus Oldies, the Pattaya Ride

 Only a month after the event, it is a good job I am not paid as a reporter. Anyway, with a November scheduled to a bunch of oldies that once worked for Olympus, when Olympus was Olympus that is, setting out to take South East Asia by storm (more a gentle breeze) the world needs to know that later life can be fun, an awful lot of fun. The drawback does include getting stuff wrong, like deleting the bikes onboard video before checking it had been transferred😖 so on this particular video you have to make do with the Relive trace. No way do I, or am I anything like the talented friends from Olympus and elsewhere when it comes to artistic prowess but it is good to be able to bring the viewing public down to earth now and again. Coffee.
