The Dont Forget Travel Group is taking part in the Weekly Photo Challenge, but we’re adding an extra twist as we’re going to try and adapt the weekly theme into being “travel related” somehow!
This week’s theme is: PURPLE.
#postaday

The Oriental Pearl Tower – Shanghai, China One of the buildings that give Shanghai’s Pudong region an edgy modern look. By day it resembles a hyperdermic needle but at night the light show is spectacular.

Purple Orchid – Phuket, Thailand the purple orchid on the crisp white sheets was a daily treat at the Laguna Beach Resort

Bird house or squirrel house? Kent, England The quaint scene in the beer garden out the back of a local pub near Hever Castle in the English countryside of Kent. So quinessential English, better have another Gin andTonic!

Purple Candles – Byron Bay, Australia When a travel brochure mentions “colourful local markets” this is what they must be talking about – this Sunday market at Byron Bay

China Bulbs – Beijing, China Sometimes Beijing can be a bit grey, but after leaving Tiananmen Square and skirt around the Forbidden City’s moat, this floral display is a welcome relief.

Purple Skies – Athens, Greece Most pictures of Athens are of the Acropolis, this is of Lycabettus Hill – one of the highest points in Athens. Taken from my balcony at the Athens Hilton as the sun is setting which is why the sky has a purple hue.

Wouldn't you love to be here right now?

It conjures up images of octopus sizzling on the charcoal grill, the plump ripeness of the juicy tomatoes, the sharpness of salty feta, the cold Mythos Beer sliding down the throat as the sun dips below the horizon into the iridescent blue ocean. Flowing white linen against tanned skin in the cooling temperature while in the distance the sounds of the bars heat up. Long relaxing meals that stretch into hours with longtime friends that stretch into years. Lazy days lazing on lounges neatly lined up on the beach steps away from the cooling clear sea with long Frappes delivered to you by the beach cafe. The crackle of the salt drying on your back after a cool swim to take the heat off, in water so clear that you can eyeball the fish. The squeal that is a mixture of fear and delight as you jump off rocks and cliffs into the blue waters below. Watching the craggy, sun-ravished fisherman fixing their bright yellow nets after hauling in the mornings catch with the local cat sitting patiently and hopefully for a discarded handout. The sun bouncing off whitewashed houses with bright purple or pink bouganvillia competing for attention with the coloured window shutters in a variety of blues and greens. The feeling you get when you come across yet another picture postcard scene (or is it now called an Instagram moment?)

This is summer in Greece.

After a few failed attempts and exhaudting our ma

After a few failed attempts and exhaudting our marketing budget* I've nailed the message!

9 years ago the doors to TDFTG were opened on Glen Osmond Road, and while those doors are now closed, the business still survives, albeit in a very pared down version.

It has been a wild ride with so many highs, a few lows, a lot of fun and lots of grey hairs (you never quite breathe properly until your clients have finished their trip and made it home safely) from natural disasters, terrorism, volcano ash, airline strikes,, train strikes, car crashes, hotel fires, no snow, too much snow, pandemics, civil unrest, missed flights, missed boyfriends at home, exuberant youthful antics, European refugee crisis, the list goes on, and now a pandemic.

But mostly it has been fun and rewarding.

The current situation that we find ourselves in will pass, and while travel will probably be very different - more carefully and care free - we will be out exploring again.

Im just excited that I've nearly processed all of our clients refunds. Its been a long drawn out, mentally draining procees clawing back refunds from airlines, tour companies, small European hotels etc, but after 11 months we are nearly at the end, which will be a big relief of a lot of stress.

I the meantime, while your traveling locally, or interstate, don't forget to talk to your local travel agent, you may not think it's worth it to them, but to them it may be what keeps them going to pay the ongoing bills.

Happy Birthday TDFTG.

Ps I'm hoping if I mention @jennysbakeryadl they will give me a free coffee....we were neighbors for 9 years afterall. (Side note: my plan of my shop staying empty and me moving back I sat a heavily reduced taste had failed - it been leased!!!!@)
