Hunger pangs

 8 December 2011

It's always a long wait to get into The Cheesecake Factory in Waikiki. Even if you arrive at 5:30pm you have to wait for a table.

Anything Goes

"Anything Goes" on Broadway was a super show, great music, fab dancing, talented cast and funny lines. Set on a cruise liner it was an appropriate finale to a wonderful trip.

Via Tetbury

For our drive back to London from Wiltshire today our cousin suggested we drive via Tetbury in the Cotswolds.  We made our lunch stop there and took a walk around this charming  market town popping into a few antique shops. I may have made some purchases in the Highgrove Shop.

Tender, Rich and Ripe

Dining in the Plaka in Athens where the calamari is so tender and the tomatoes so rich and ripe.

Shoulder to Shoulder

There were a few other people in St Mark's Square in Venice today. We were able to avoid some of them on our "Hidden Treasures of Venice" tour but is was good to return to the peace on Seven Seas Mariner after the tour.
