In Anno Itinerantur - F is for Funny

In the past year since  travel opened up for Australians Robert and I have taken several journeys at home and overseas. While I posted many photos of these adventures on Facebook I want to leave a more permanent record of some of our adventures. This challenge provides me with opportunities to share my photos and stories while recording some personal history. 

I plan to share photos and stories from our travels between April 2022 and March 2023.  My theme this year is In Anno Itinerantur. 

I find my funny bone being regularly tickled as I travel the world. Today I am sharing a few of of those moments.

I love the clever names given to businesses. This barbershop can be found in London

Sign on the paper towel dispenser in Tomamu, Japan. With my lack of foreign language skills I shouldn't be laughing at this.

I did a double take when I saw this at Sydney airport as Islay is known for single malt whiskeys

. Apparently some entrepreneurial soul is hoping to serve "the Gin and Tonic" set.

When out on tour in Papua New Guinea I looked down and saw that the two people beside me were wearing the same brand athletic shoes as me. We had a communal "singing the praises of Hoka shoes" and as a result an onlooker went back to the ship and ordered a pair online.

We were pleased to get a voucher for a free drink in our Bali Accommodation. We had no choice in what we would have - it was a serving of orange cordial in a teeny tiny glass - Barely a mouthful for Robert.

Can't remember where we picked up this fridge magnet up but someone thought it described me!

 The beverage of choice for most of our family members was soft drink.

There were touches of humour in some of the displays in the Vivid Festival in Sydney. As the proud descendant of ten transported convicts I particularly enjoyed this one.

We didn't take the opportunity to purchase an ice-cream or cool drink at the Ice Village in Tomamu, Japan where all the furnishings were made of ice.
