A few favorite pics from a few places
Travel
Australia · London · Luxembourg · USA · 1988–2026
A couple of photos taken here and there. Most new pictures are on Instagram these days.
London
Many visits while based in Luxembourg, a fun experience attending places we've all seen on TV. I ended up with UK-based meetings, they were usually scheduled for a Friday or Monday in London or Birmingham giving me weekends in the UK.
Luxembourg
I spent 10 years in Luxembourg. I lived in the city centre for 5 years, loved it, miss it - a few minutes walk to Place d'Armes, a few minutes walk to Scott's, the pub in the Grund. 2023-12-09 - 2023-12-21 I was in Lux for a visit. The two Grund panoramas are pretty much 180 degrees apart, looking at each other.
Singapore
Countless stop overs on the Melbourne - Singapore - London - Luxembourg route. One week based there for work. Changi Airport is great.
Switzerland
One vacation, 2 or 4 work visits and a few ski trips. I enjoyed Geneva and the drive around Lake Geneva (Lac Léman). The north, Swiss, side was a lot more interesting than the south, French, side.
Trier
German town close to Luxembourg, 2 visits. Visiting McDonalds I started ordering in French. Scheisse. Ended up using English.
US, New York
Returning from Luxembourg in December 2023 a few days were spent in New York, mostly well-known, touristy areas. Missed the Concorde at the Intrepid as it was out for a paint job, maybe next time. Standing under the Enterprise Space Shuttle was surreal.
Venice
Fantastic work incentive 3 day weekend, 1998-09-27, thanks Dave and business partners. Stayed at the 'Star Hotel'. A large credit card bill as Dave left his wallet including credit cards and passport in Luxembourg. I paid for dinner for 30 and put in a great expense claim on return, about ITL 2,000,000.
The Audi A4
I liked that car - slam the door at the end of a bad day and it'd make a nice, tidy German sound. So did the second Audi A4.
