I Love You...

 
This was in the WA Museum, but we left before the exhibition started... Sad.


Franky-boy will help you!
 

Such a nice song! 

 


 
In Albany, 1995 with the title "most tidiest town" has one of the coldest free showers I took. My hands turned white.
And Broome has the oldest open air cinema of the world, Sun-Pictures - fun name, huh. We watched many a movie there - at night, of course 😉. WA is wonderful.
Getting very, very homesick writing this.
Sadly with Ingo´s condition we will never again travel the Outback.
But Broome might be "in the picture" as Ingo owes me a Pizza in.the.cinema!
 
This is for Tom´s Signs2.
 
Henry's 🦁  alter Perth-ego, the Black Swan 🐣:
 
 
What is your fav travel-holiday? Can you even decide for one? I can not...
Aren´t we so darn lucky to be able to travel, to see the world, if not the moon? 
Well we can, with Brian May, see here...

I don't travel so I don't have a favourite place, but I think anywhere near a beach would be good. And now I'm about to fall asleep again. I have a bad cold and concentrating is hard....

Iris Flavia said...

Beach is a great idea! Hope you feel better very soon!

...Iris, the moon has been a favorite subject for songs, but I would never want to go there. I'm happy to have both feet on the ground. My long distance travels are over, but I'm glad that you enjoy yours. Enjoy your week.

So many countries, so many favourites - Thailand, France, Italy, Portugal... and of course Australia :)

Good morning, sadly I haven't traveled since I got married (over 40 years now) except for my Yellowstone trip with my friend back in 2017. I did take trips every year when I was a kid growing up instead of hotels we camped-which was a lot of fun. right now for me I would not feel safe anymore traveling but I enjoy reading about people that do.

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, I wouldn´t want to go to the moon, either! Let us enjoy the last summer days on Earth!

Sami, yes, oh, Italy/Tuscany was wonderful, too! And Cuba! Jamaica.... I stop now,or I get sick staying here ;-)

Kathy, oh! that´s a long time of no travel.
We slept in the car, mostly, not in the tent (but we had one). And now it´s the cabin.

Lovely song indeed!

I hope you get back to your beloved Oz someday.

"Fly Me to the Moon" is my favorite song in the world! I love to dance the fox trot to it. Frank Sinatra sings it best.

Iris Flavia said...

magiceye, yes :-)

CJ, 2026 is the plan!

gigi, wish I could dance!

The first time I visited Alaska, I loved it and so we moved there. Norway is still one of the places I enjoyed a lot. Lots of beauty there.

Ja, liebe Iris, das Lied von Franky-boy mag ich auch 😊
Leider weiß ich nichts über "Ingo´s condition", deretwegen ihr "never again travel the Outback" werdet... dafür lese ich wohl noch nicht lange genug bei dir. Was ich mitbekommen habe ist, dass ihr offenbar lange Zeit in Perth gelebt (und dort auch geheiratet) habt, aber zuerst 13 Jahre lang in getrennten Wohnungen oder Häusern... Stammt Ingo auch aus Deutschland?
Was Reise-Orte betrifft, kann ich mich auch nicht wirklich entscheiden. Die letzte Reise war ein absoluter Traum, und von den Reisen der letzten Jahre habe ich Namibia, Costa Rica und Irland ganz besonders geliebt, was nicht bedeutet, dass die anderen Orte oder Reisen mir nicht getaugt hätten. Ich liebe es, die Welt zu erkunden. Und es sind ein paar Plätze auf dieser schönen Erde, die ich noch zu sehen und erleben hoffe... Zum Mond brauche ich da gar nicht ;-)
Alles Liebe, Traude

Bill, reckon where my trains go to? Oslo!!!

Traude, Ingo hat so gut wie keine Bauchspeicheldrüse mehr, genetisch bedingt.
Wir haben Australien bereist, aber Perth immer nur 6 Wochen am Stück.
Ja, Ingo stammt aus dem Dorf um die Ecke von damals.
Ja, wir haben keine Kinder und viele Länder bereist - un den Mond, nö, will ich auch nicht - dafür ist unsere Erde (noch) viel zu schön! Alles Liebe und aufs Erkunden!

Christine said...

Too bad you missed the exhibition.

RedPat said...

I drove around Denmark and Sweden and loved everything especially the food.

Jeanie said...

I love your Australian memories. That exhibit looks good -- sorry you missed it.

Amypie71 said...

I could be wrong but I heard over the years that Broome is a dry place? Is that right or wrong? Sounds like you'e had some fascinating adventures.

Iris Flavia said...

Christine, yes, bet it is a great exhibition!

____

RedPat, I just ordered Aussie Pies!
In Denmark a seagull pooped on my back as I lie in the grass reading a book. Poo was brown. Everybody laughed. Well, me, not so much ;-)

____

Jeanie, yes, still enough to share! But really sad the exhibition started so late!

____

Aimz, well, yes, Broome is "Outback" already. But it´s wonderful, you should go!!!! You´ll find the stairway to the moon there.
