Travels for 2007

by Watsoncomper - last update: Jan 4, 2008

Our cat 'Sleepy'

The Family Pet

This is 'Sleepy' the family cat. Yes the picture is the right way up. His name reflects his favourite pastime.

The problem is he thinks he is human.

Canada - Through the Rockies - May 2007

Finally fulfilled one of my ambitions and that was to travel through the Rockies on the Rocky Mountaineer Train.

Great experience. Arrived in Calgary and traveled to Banff then onto Jasper and onto the Rocky Mountaineer Train. Overnight stay at Kamloops and then into Vancouver for a couple of nights relaxation.

Scenery stunning both in the Rockies and in the Coastal mountains. Great canyons to magnificent glaciers. Fantastic viewing of many animals and birds along the way from Bears and Coyotes to Bald Eagles to Deer.

A trip of discovery!
Looking across the Dubai Creek

Dubai - December 2006

Only time for a brief glance at Dubai but visited the Creek area and a traditional Souk. Visited in December so the weather was excellent - not too hot.

Walked along the Dubai Creek - People very friendly and open.
South Harbour

Kalamazoo - America September 2006

Visited Kalamazoo in September but spent the weekend at South Harbour by Lake Michigan.

Very picturesque and the museum concerning the British/American sea conflict during the battle for Independence was superb

The short business visit has fired me up to return and take the Lake Michigan circle tour one day
César Manrique Bathroom

Lanzarote May 2006

This was our sun holiday in 2006.

Beautiful island full of interesting and unexpected things. The capital Arrecife was particularly interesting with its pirate stronghold and interesting churches.

We visited the caves, the volcanic areas and the interior towns.

We were particularly impressed with César Manrique home built in volcanic bubbles.
Gran Canaria - Puerto de Mogán

Gran Canaria May 2005

Spent a week on this very pretty Island. Idyllic photograph of the harbour entrance to Puerto de Mogan near to our accommodation.

Unfortunately the restaurant pictured here did not live up to expectations.
