Without merchants traveling the "Mackerel Road," the royals and statesmen of ancient Kyoto might’ve gone hungry. A visit to Obama, where the route began, unveils the history of this quaint yet crucial town. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/01/17/travel/obama-kyoto-travel-history-saba-kaido/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #travel #travel #fukuiprefecture #kyoto #fishing

The "Space Whale" by Matt Schultz was originally at the 2016 Burning Man event on the Black Rock Playa north of Reno, Nevada. It is a full scale stained glass humpback whale mother and her calf. In this photo it is at its permanent location in the plaza in front of Reno City Hall.

The best perk to working as a divemaster turns out to be meeting friends who invite you to do cool things like flying! 😁 Big thank you to Yair for taking me up in his paramotor for the most incredible flights of my life! This video is mostly from my first flight over l'Estartit (Spain), the Medes Islands, and the Montgri Castle. Incredible to see it all from above!

I've got an odd request.
Does anyone have any idea how to get from Australia to the UK, without flying?
My in-laws are currently stuck on the east coast of Australia. One of them got very sick on a cruise. And long story short. They have been told they cannot fly ever again. It's too risky for what has happened, they're in the ICU - recovering, feeling better, but cannot fly ever again.
Hubs might have to go over there for a couple of months to help them out (his studio has a studio in the city they are in. This is the easy part).
They are looking at getting on another cruise ship, but the next one is in March, and if they miss that. They're stuck there even longer.
So, I am making a request to see if anyone knows if there is any other possible way to get them back to the UK without using planes.
The in-laws are in their late 70s, so there may be some limitations (they are obviously not going to be fit to help out on a catamaran or something).
Please share!

OK, It is an ad, but it is a good one and it shows my country of birth, so enjoy!
Iceland is also where a significant part of the @Vivaldi team is based. Most others are in Norway and a few around Europe. We also host our servers in Iceland, which means they are running on clean power, mostly hydro.
