Coast Envy

Welcome back. Subscribed to my RSS feed or following me on Twitter yet? Be my guest.

This blogs flagging a little. Obviously. I think I’ve mislaid what little writing ability I had, probably somewhere over the atlantic.

For the record though, recently did two weeks working in Prague. Comment: Too many effing tourists stuffed into a small but beautiful city. Then did four days in Castries, St.Lucia. Saw very little of the place itself though. Did get to spend an hour on the beach in Barbados on the return however. A typical example of service in St.Lucia:

Waiter: “Can I take your order?”

Me: “Could you give us two minutes please?”

15 minutes later…

Me: “Hi, could we order please?”

Waiter: “Ahh, YOU want to order now?” [walks off again, most likely to prepare the special sauce for my dinner]

Visiting a landlocked country then comparing that to various islands makes it bleedin’ obvious that one day, wherever we eventually land (geddit), it has to be on the coast.

Plus, I hit 50 the other day (fancypants gmap). Yes it’s all about the numbers, not the actual substance of the places.
