Hop On Hop Off Buses: Tourist Trap or Tourist Attraction?

Because it's 2.30am & I can't sleep, I'm starting to jot down some ideas for the road trip my sister & I are doing in Scotland in May... using an actual map no less!!

One thing I really loved about Portland is all the retro signs.. another reason to add to the "Number of reasons why Portland is so cool"

Being back at work for a full week after 3 weeks off severely kicked my butt and we have a huge 3 weeks leading up to Christmas before a week off. Heaps of people love this time of year.. I'm not one of them. Anyway, onto more important things.. I have so many photos and I haven't even gone through 1/4 of them. I'm still just posting ones that I have previously edited 😂 This photo is a street corner in Portland, I loved the blue skie, trees & colourful shops. I was so lucky with the weather and didn't have rain except for one day. I even had a couple days where I didn't need a jacket. I also loved that I got a piece of autumn. We don't have it here in Brisbane so anywhere I can go to get my fix has a massive tick from me.

Do you have so many holiday snaps that you don't actually know what to do with them? Yeah me neither 😂😂 I managed to get lucky & capture this cute little mini as it came around the bend at Shepherd's Dell in Oregon recently. The 1/2 day tour I did with @americashubworldtours in early November was a massive highlight of my trip. Not only was my driver, Johnny, informative & super helpful but driving through this small part of Oregon really made me fall in love with the area and gave me a hunger to go back.

I did a city tour in Seattle & the driver did a sneaky.. he wasn't meant to stop at the Fremont Troll but he did for a hot minute so we could get some photos.. which I'm glad he did, I wouldn't have been able to see this fella otherwise. Wanna see the troll looks at all day long while people are gawking at him? Click the arrow button .. actually not a bad view. Also, that's a Volkswagen beetle under his hand & he has a hubcap for an eye.

A) it's Monday & B) it's my first day back st work after 3 & half weeks I'd rather be anywhere than here.. well maybe not ANYWHERE, but I'd definitely rather be back on the train going from Vancouver to Portland, especially when there are views like this 😍
