A touch of frost

There's been a nice bit of snow recently, so here are some snaps taken on the common.

Paparazzi

I went down to tower bridge to take some photos of a bendy bus turned into a giant transformer robot. Alas the bus was not there anymore, but I did stumble across a free Alexandra Burke concert, and what an intimate affair it was, and free choclates were thrown in to boot! Alexandra is the winnner of last years X Factor.

Croatian Pirates

After Makarska, our final port of call was Omes. Omes is famous in the area as being a pirate base a few centuries back. It was good for the pirates as the mountains provided hiding spots and lookouts, and the river was great escape up in their boats.
So naturally, we had to have a farewell pirate party!

And where better to have a pirate party than on our pirate boat!

A bit of limbo - it turned out I was quite good at it, and was the undisputed champion!

A really gorgeous pirate wench - who could resist such beauty?

Ashleigh - king of the pirate sneers.

Working on my snarl

In action at the tug of war - Even though we cheated, they cheated more the bastards! You can't trust a pirate!

Croatia is supposed to be the birthplace of Dalmations. I didn't see any, but did see lots of cute kitties! Here are some for your enjoyment.

Croatia - Makarska

After Korcula, it was off to Makarska, a fairly busy town in a small bay, with intersting bars set in caves in the rocks.



The ladies enjoying the sun.

The gang!

The happiest paraglider I've ever seen :o)

Putting on a good hobo impression.

Boats galore!
