Malta !

God damnit – finaly after years and years and years of corona covid lockdowns and facemask hell, vaccinations and argh!

We where finaly able to do our yearly wedding-day-week trip again, this time to Malta. Hoping for sun and swiming, beer and tuna.

It had not been used for so long that it had gone crispy

Arrived in Malta sunday, rain , and got hit with rain in the morning hours of monday to – but the sun showed up midday 👍👍

The hotel is loaded with ‘slippery when wet’ signs, it is slippery – I took a dive down some stairs today, and are only just able to walk. 🙂

Had a walk down to Sliema today, was hoping to get to The Crafty Cat brew pub, but it had not opened – so we got some beers at The Brew

Not a super impressing coffe stout – but nice enough

We also visited the Beer Garden, pretty good selection

Hoping to get my back working in a few days and see some more of Malta by feet – right now it feels like we need to spend some money on taxies.

The access to Bolt scooters here is massive – but with the narrow streets and the massive traffic, I cant se how anyone dares to ride them.

Downtown Las Vegas, Freemont street.

I’ve been to Vegas probably 10 times before, and I allways end up walking up and down the strip. Nothing wrong with that, there is lots to see, tons of excelent resturants and lots of other weird stuff.

So I have never gotten around to do the downtown thing, but I have heard a lot about it. So finaly! We did a taxi to the Golden Nugget, thats pretty much the start of Freemont street experience thingy, from the Cosmopolitan it will be like 25$, it is a bit of the strip and will probably take you a long time walk Continue reading “Downtown Las Vegas, Freemont street.”

Roadtrip to Grand Canyon

ROADTRIP !!

So we gout our sweet BMW ride, picked up at the SLS Hotel up at Stratosphere. This looks to be a bit mor dodgy part of town, lots more beggars and in general crazy people shouting at lightposts and flowers but at least they had great road line marking to drive around. They are probably stoned out of what little mind they have, there is one of those ganja shops here – marijuhana is legalized in Nevada now. But I think the main issue is alcohol and harder drug Continue reading “Roadtrip to Grand Canyon”

Fortinet, Accelerate18

The main reason for being here, atleast for me – is the Fortniet seminar. As you all know Fortinet is a Firewall (not just, its much much more), and is pretty much what I do for a living these day. Before it was Checkpoint firewalls.. but ..no more.. Its not to bad, my brainwash is closing completion with this seminar, and the fond Checkpoint memories are slowly fading away…….there… gone. 🙂 Continue reading “Fortinet, Accelerate18”

Chineese new year is commin, has come, going on right now ? Unsure – it is very very close atleast.

The Bellagio has an exebition that changes all the time, this time it was related to the Chineese newyear and the year of the dog. So lots of dogs.

We where on our way to Excali Continue reading “The Bellagio, exebition (Year of the dog)”

M&M World (And some Coke)

Just up the street from our hotel I saw a great M&M hanging of the wall. M&M ,being what the bible refered to as “manna”, is my make lange flyturer utholdelige stuff, so there we had to stop by the church of M&M.

I was hoping for the possibility to buy one – just one – huge blu Continue reading “M&M World (And some Coke)”

The Contemporary Austin

Yeah, so I think this place is actually the Jones Center and it is part of the, eeeehh?, concept «contemporary austin», anyways something like that.

They did have to artist on display here this week John Bock and Wangechi Mutu. Both pretty cool, but I think the Bock one was better, he had created a real eerie feel to the whole thing – starting of with a movie and the the display afterwards with some messed up videos and uncomfortable sounds. Its one of those things, you have to experience it, hard to explain – it was just a proper eerie thing that was really really cool.

Some mix here in the pictures and artist, the one above was the Wangechi one.

Wangechi was something completley different from Bock. With the main videoscreen running nonstop with some animation about carrying lots of stuff.

A live feed from some livingroom at the Bock display. Every now and then a grey box would appear in the video transfer and then suddenly disappear.. this box popped up on lots of the other different displays to. As I said,,,eeerie…like you are in a Davind Lynch movie.

Well worth the five dollars 🙂

Even with at the peole around you, in the middle of the day, it was a bit troubeling to put your head trough that window.

We did get access to other parts of contemporary austin on the same ticket, so we will try and stop by a few of them at least. If there is time.
