My Humble But Fitting Travel Watch With Many Modem Burner Pictures

Just an Incredible city I had time to explore a lot this trip with the wife. Had to take the Black Bay Red this time and she brought Date-Just TT jubilee with diamond hour makers. Just a little work, mostly played the tourist this time.






Below was a gift to my wife from hotel







The corner windows with no curtains is ours. So 2 windows on each side all four face canal. 4th floor


I'll add more later as the sun is on my screen and can't see pics

Hi mate, your spelling and grammar was perfect.
I read your post as 'butt fitting travel watch', as in fits in **tt. Sorry to be so crude, it's just the way my mind reads things. I imagined you were travelling somewhere dodgy hence needing a discreet watch if you get my drift. Great pics

Enjoy Mark! If you happen to pass by the bridge next to the American hotel. We left a love lock there. It's color red with my wife's​ name and my name laser etched on it. 😁

I'll LQQK Daryl time permitting I'll
Google the hotel and see where's it's located

No ones ever said I was a photographer






Perfume not for sale





I think 1970. Should've captured the price. Looked amazing in person. Killer bezel






Loved this too

It's right on the side of the canal before crossing the bridge (not in the bridge itself) if you walk from the American hotel side.

.

The wine was surprisingly good, I've had the New Zealand Cloudy Bay about 17 years ago but it was Sauvignon Blanc. This was Pinot Noir and big fruit to me.

Spicy Crab soup

Potatoes

And Bavette Steak as it's known in France but in U.S.= Flank Steak Bavette sounds so much better tho.. and a nice big California Cabernet would've been killer

I'll have more colorful pictures later
