Per Magica Ad Astra

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.

 A rather quickly put together slideshow of the wonderful trips a clutch of Olympus (UK) old boys have been on this month, November 2023. A twist and go bike ride, Chiang Mai to Pattaya followed by a flight to the MotoGP in Sepang and on to Vietnam where we just about manages to get one tour of the DMZ done before the heavens really really opened and flooded the area cutting the city of Hue off. Fortunately we did get back to Danang for a night before jetting back. If that wasn't enough we hopped onto the twist and go bikes again and did a bit of a variant of the Mae Hong Son loop. For info, most if not all of my snaps were taken on my phone, a Samsung S22 Ultra. One of our bunch, Chris Jones, had brought a real camera, a genuine Olympus digital SLR👍 with him with a big (ish) zoom. I have included 3 of his bike shots in the slideshow. Much more to come.  Cheers.

Ian and I went on a bit of a bike ride to meet up with a friend who was holidaying in Pattaya. As it happens I have no time to blog it all properly as we are frantically trying to get sorted for the morning flight to KL. Yep it is MotoGP time and we will be there... In the meanwhile I stuck a couple of slides together so here it is. Cheers

 Blimey it is weeks since I did a blog, shows how little I have been getting up to recently. Any now it is manic as today my friend and I are on the motorbikes heading to Pattaya. So here are just few catch up snaps since the last blog... A walk round wat Chedi Liem The iron bridge early evening Halloween And to close, stinky canal And now it is off on the Burg... After a coffee...
