The “City of Sails” could also be known as the “city of  volcano’s”  . . . there are 53 extinct volcano’s  across the city’s volcanic field.

And one of them . . . just across the harbour from the city centre . . . is home to the most amazing tunnels.

Easily accessible from the walkways below, it was wonderfully cooling to wander through the myriad of tunnels running through the hillside.

Of course I just couldn’t resist pausing at the occasional “windows” looking out onto the harbour below.

Or trying to make sense of the decades of inscriptions and messages of love . . . and lust . . . from decades of visitors who had so obviously investigated these tunnels before Hubby and I.

And, speaking of other visitors, I think I can hear footsteps beginning to descend the steps behind me!

But despite the occasional interruptions . . . it really was a wonderfully peaceful exploration and adventure . . . calming and Sinful at the same time!!!

So much so that I thought I would share it here with you
. . . and at Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt site.

After a rainy and dismal Easter Sunday it was lovely to wake up to a sunny and warm Bank Holiday Easter Monday this morning. A perfect morning we thought for a relaxing stroll around The Boating Lake.

It was already quite busy when we arrived with lots of families out enjoying
the warm weather.

So we walked around the lakeside . . . enjoying the sounds of the ducks
on the water.

Most of the benches were occupied . . . so we had to make do with finding a little shade beneath the occasional trees by the lakeside . . .

. . . and waiting patiently  . . .

. . . in the hope that one of the benches would become available.

Eventually though I just gave up waiting in vain . . . so took advantage of one of the viewing points to rest my legs.

And it was such a lovely morning that I thought I would share it here with you
. . . and at Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt site.

I don’t know about you, but I always feel there is something quite special, almost magical, about old buildings and historical places.

It’s not just that the buildings often have a special style or beauty that seems lacking in modern-day architecture . . . for me it’s also about knowing that, like Acacia Cottage, they have been a special place for generations of different occupants and visitors.

And even in the middle of a busy central-city setting, just being able to sit on the verandah, one could almost feel the stories they could tell . . . and the sights they have seen. (I’m sure the couple behind us probably felt exactly the same).

And it was such a joy to be able to share those sort of reflections with the lovely Curvaceous Dee . . . and even though we weren’t alone . . .

. . . and we heard the occasional car driving by . . . we were still able to enjoy the beautiful view across the park . . .

. . . and of course, I just had to explore the rooms inside to find the bedroom and admire the quilted wash-stand cover  . . . even if it was behind protective glass.

I hope you will enjoy these moments of fun, and reflection, as much as Dee and myself did . . . and if you keep visiting my Scavenger Hunt posts here and the lovely Dee’s own posts at Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt you might well see some more Two-For-One posts in the near future.

I’m so used to commuting to and from work every day on the London Underground, that I suppose I just take it for granted.

But Hubby simply hates the Tube . . . he says he finds it “boring”, with “nothing interesting to look at”. So whenever we are forced to take the Underground somewhere together, I always do my best to try and make it interesting . . .

And on our most recent journey I found it quite easy to keep him entertained!!!

It was a lovely bright day as we passed through the first few stations, before actually going underground . . .

So much so . . . that he kept asking me to stand-up as we approached each new station . . .

. . . something about “getting a better view” . . . which I think the people in the carriage behind me probably enjoyed as well!!!!

Eventually though we had to alight . . . and I had to become a little more “modest” as we headed for the escalators.

But we had such a fun journey that I thought I would share some of the memories with you here for a Scavenger Hunt post.

Oh, and P.S. – As you probably already know, I do so love “Fostering-a-Cock” from time to time!!!

I’ve always liked a good Monument. After all, there’s usually something quite . . . well . . . phallic . . . about a good monument isn’t there? Whenever one hears the word “monument” it normally conjours up visions of something quite large, strong and . . . erect!!!

And one of my favourite Monuments has always been One Tree Hill. Ever since Hubby first took me there 30 years ago, it has always been a special place for me . . .

So imagine my dee-light at having the opportunity to actually add THIS particular Monument to my Scavenger Hunt list with the dee-lightful, actual Ms Scavenger Hunt curator herself Curvaceous Dee . . . it was like two dreams coming true on the same afternoon!!!

And it was such a beautiful . . . but very windy . . . afternoon, as Dee and I wandered around the summit amongst lots of other tourists admiring the amazing view.

In fact it was so windy that every time I walked towards the wall, to look down at the city below, I had trouble keeping my . . . modesty!!!

But even when we did manage to find a bit of shelter, neither of us could resist feeling that warm breeze on our skin . . .

And, of course, being in the company of such an infectiously fun lady as Dee I didn’t need too much encouragement to want more . . .

Dee has already shared her own pictures, and some lovely words, from this wonderful afternoon at her own Sinful Sunday post . . . and we may both possibly post more Two-For-One Scavenger Hunt pictures if you’d like to see more! Just let me (and Dee) know!!!
