Winter

Been a while since winter, although the weather in Paris wouldn't lead one to believe it...

A little peak of winter from the highest station in Europe. Val Thorens...

Air WiFi

Not so long ago it was a first for me to find WiFi in my taxi... This time the taxi has wings and this comes to you from 30000ft.
Norwegian Air - pretty cool. Nice cabin in the new Boeing 737-800 as well.

it works too, beats the thalys ;)

Happy connected travels.

You know you're in a different country...

18°C in winter

Ah is good to have some sun on the skin...

Girl on a Specialized

Guy looking around for a girl on a Specialized bike. She's chic, and he's going to a casting for a science fiction movie. You know the kind, it's the future but it looks retro. She smells like perfume, he more like leather, maybe old shoes. They cross the same intersection, in the same direction. Its cold, winter in Paris. Their paths will cross?

A first

A geek first, this comes to you via wi-fi... My hotspot that is weaving along the highway at 100 km/h.

Wi-fi in a taxi, go figure.

SIN

From the top of the Marina Bay Sands...

Singapore, quite a spot, spotless and organised! 

Millau

Aaah Brazil

C'est ça Bresil, et je l'aime.

Delos

A windy day to take the ferry to Delos, the sacred, uninhabited island at the centre of the Cyclades.





Looking back as we leave the calm of Mykonos.











View from Mount Kinthos.










Apparently one of the oldest Greek inscriptions.






Here kitty kitty.... One of Naxian's gifts.

Wishing you salt spray drenching on the way back from wherever you've been today.

Mykonos

First evening in Mykonos...
















Dinner at Ornos beach.









Pelican filakia

Paros

Somehow not feeling blue, despite the blue sea, blue skies, blue doors and blue domes.









The port at Naoussa, where octopus hangs out.












If all that blue is too much and you don't feel like braving the world, one could just hang out by the pool.








One of the picturesque little chapels in Parikia.











Despite all the blue, Paros is known for things white. The marble used by many of the sculptors dating back to 6th centuary BC came from here. If you're in Paris, you can see a piece of Paros by visiting the Louvre. The Venus de Milo is made of Parian marble.














Up near the marble quarries is the cute town of Lefkes, worth the visit.








And a couple of nice beaches on the east side of the island, looking across to Naxos.



Sending you the blues.

Aaaaah Santorini

This about sums it up!

Bummer...

I can understand the skiing part... And quite frankly I don't care much about grass growing on my summer holiday ;) what a lovely day!

Have hog...

will travel... Ok maybe more like a piglet.
