The Modern Hotel

An unusual angle for a slide - seemingly a modern architecture building - likely a hotel - with a lovely blue sea behind it.
But where could it be ?  Possibly the Grand Hotel Neum, in the Adriatic.

Bonus - Mango Don is At It Again

Crossing the Road

 

It's not often that I find a slide features quite a lot of people, and some questionable fashion choices, but fits into the Tedious Tuesday category.

Today is one of those occasions.

Bonus - April Fools Day ... nah. Can't be arsed.

Eric The Smug

 

Eric, in his stupid sportscoat, posed with that daft pipe of his, at the white cliffs of Dover.

It would serve him right if the cliff would crumble and ...oh ... ahhhh... right, let's just quietly walk away.

Bonus - At dinner, my frustrated date said, “so napping and sitting around are seriously your only hobbies?? You told me that you were interesting!”

“No, no,” I corrected, “I said that I was into resting.”

Bonus 2 - 

Yes, more

The Mermaid Passage

 

Today's slide - a quaint part of Merry Old England - The Mermaid Passage, at the Mermaid Inn, Rye.

Legend has it that a mermaid was caught at sea, and was drowned in a vat of Liebfraumilch, by villagers who believed that she was a donkey.  Stupid folk.

Bonus - Lost manuscript of Merlin and King Arthur legend read for the first time after centuries hidden inside another book

Bonus 2 - 

They're so funny

All Aboard The Rylen

 


When in Silkeborg (Denmark) why not take a trip on the M/S Rylen?

It's the stylish way to travel.

M/S Rylen, a popular boat operated by Hjejleselskabet, a company that offers boat trips and events in the Silkeborg Lake District, popular for sightseeing, social cruises, and events. 

Bonus : More of the usual

Another One For The Ladies

 

(or certain men.)

Kevin is a legally trained wombat wrangler, and a part-time Don Draper look-a-like.  He's looking for  a partner who can assist with his cataloguing of Pre-1939 ice-cream spoons.

Bonus - Yes, more

Blue Sky Thinking

 

Sorry. I've been distracted this evening, by "things".

But, in the nick of time....architecture, blue sky and tedium.

Possibly in Malta 

Bonus -

Yes, I'm still doing these

The Dance Demo

 

Again, I'm clueless.

The Slide markings said "1965 William E Baskett", but Googling that didn't turn up anything obvious.

Bonus - Germany, apparently

( Not Norfolk )

 


No info on the slide, other that a date Sept 1961 but 'm 99.9% sure that this isn't just outside Norwich.

I'm 96.1% certain that it's not even the UK. Canada perhaps?

Bonus:
