  1. Further information. Not many people would know of this spot. I'd guess that 99.9% of travellers would pass this spot and not know it was there. Feel free to Google it to keep things moving.
  2. Thanks Lyle. I know the feeling of recycling photos. When I go through my files I see a nice photo, then I have to think hard as to whether I have used it previously like this next one. I may have used it before but here goes. It's a gun on a hill. Bonus point for the name of the hill.
  3. Rainbow Park named after HMCS Rainbow. A popular walking track along the shore.
  4. Something about a park relating to nautical or navy history IIRC?
  5. My Scottish grandfather came from a long line (no pun intent) of North Sea whitefishers. I'm not sure how far back, at least the 1600s from research so far. Perhaps that's why I feel comfortable at sea, especially when there's a decent swell. On my mothers side it's almost all Dorset centric.
  6. Salt, sodium chloride, in non organic as it contains no carbon compounds.
  7. I've also noticed that. Same with honey. I also have not bought sugar in a long long time. I have a sugar bowl with some raw sugar (bought years ago) for guests who have it in tea or coffee. Some years ago on a HAL cruise, in Canaletto, we were offered a tray of condiments. The waitress mentioned it included organic salt!
  8. Yesterday, a once in a decade event occured when shopping for groceries - I bought some salt😱. Yes, it takes me about 10 years to get through a 750g cellar of salt. I only use it for putting in water when boiling pasta and to put on chips. We gave up cooking veges in salted water in the early 70s when we bought our first microwave oven.
  9. Hint: It's an airport. It has also changed a little since photo was taken in 2012. I'll look for another pic.
  10. Had hoped to post this sooner but was distracted by the horrific event at Westfield Bondi. Here's the next pic. Not pretty but it's in a pretty place.
  11. Thanks. Have been there three times - which is enough. The first time was during SARS, the doors into China were shut just after we arrived. I'll go find a pic. Stand by.
  12. Havana? No not there, wrong way. I'll try Aruba?
