I should just like to explain that posts to this blog have been fitful, partly due to a lack of time, but partly because access and/or the ability to post have sometimes been difficult. In China as I explained earlier no Google products were accessible via normal hotel wifi. More recently in Egypt I could access Blogger but posting anything was impossible. So along the way there have been various issues. I should have set up a separate website that would not have been blacklisted or restricted for political/security reasons.
Having flown from Egypt, we spent two nights at Corfu on the west coast of Greece. We parked at Corfu's airport. Corfu's old town is quite charming. There is a lot of history, including its long centuries as a possession of Venice and the periodic assaults by the Ottoman Turks. This resulted in impressive fortifications. A practical feature of Corfu was that my mobile phone did not work at all. I could not log on to any local mobile phone provider. My own service form Three seems to be very substandard. Today (Sunday) we departed Corfu and flew across the Adriatic to Italy. Here is landfall at Ancona: There was a considerable headwind and we stayed low over Italy, eventually climbing to FL200 (or 20,000 feet) over the Alps. The Alps had some considerable weather and the TKS anti-ice system was put to good use. Here are the Alps, largely cloud-covered....... .... followed by descent in to Switzerl...
