But first the good deed

And the reward

Then more pics






And we all know the largest park, but who’s been to the smallest?

Jo’s colleague, Connor, is somewhere up a volcano in Costa Rica, hence I’m allowed to borrow his apartment for a week. The apartment is fine, but the rooftop is just wowee.




So we invited Hannah and Sarah for a wonderful evening.




Certainly very lucky so far with the weather. It’s heating up.
Headed off through Central Park – very familiar and now resisting (not entirely successfully) taking photos that I’ve done many times before.


Found myself at the Apple Store on Madison Avenue, and took the opportunity to get an appointment at the Genius Bar to get the fluff cleaned out of my phone. Reckon they must be some of the coolest dudes on the planet but they were very kind and not too patronising to an old duffer like me.
But it is a cool store.

New angle on a photo opportunity

Saw by accident the pizza place Jo hard found on our mammoth trek in December and couldn’t resist the mac’n cheese pizza again.

And a Comedy Store in the West Village – packed on a Monday night.

Move 1
Get your walking boots on.

Move 2
Bump into an old friend again.

Move 3
Enjoy an excellent lunch (Greek, in Chinatown) with great company.


And back on the subway.

A ridiculously short time at home before going out to see Jo (and New York) again.





First of all, it snowed on Sunday night!

Number 1 – Monday
Forecast looks doubtful after about 10.00, so decide to stay and enjoy the sun in the beautiful garden. Still enjoying about 2.00, so just head out for a bit of a diversion.


And it stays lovely all day.
Number 2 – Tuesday
It’s raining pretty much from the off, so drive over the mountains from the North to the West. What a great idea!


Realised it’s where we stayed 3 years ago but we’d forgotten!
And a final evening in our favourite bar








And then the rain came on Sunday☹️

We reckon it’s the sixth time we’ve been to this part of Tenerife (although you have to count a couple pre-bog). So we know our way around and just enjoying the wonderful views. I reckon more to come over the next few days.






Weather has been rubbish so a few days ago we booked a week in Tenerife (as you do). It’s a fair guess that there’s not going to be much to report.
Nice little apartment (very close to where we were last year)

Dinner at our favourite little beach

Enjoying coffee and breakfast

22 hours door to door. Most amazing thing is that we both slept on the plane – Eileen reckons she might have got as much as 5 or 6 hours which is extraordinary. So trip back went like a dream – in fact whole trip was really easy.
