I only went there once but loved the place even after the pilot messed up the first landing and bolted to do it again, great place and cockroaches big enough to pull carts !

Enjoy your vac. However, I would not post such info - until I arrived home.

Too many scroats out there that may feel they can take advantage of information regarding current location.

Whatshername ecclestone was robbed of about five million quids worth of stuff, apparently, after being on line with a photo of her taking her son on holiday, or summat.

Security is important, these days. Only yesterday my internet email was hacked, resulting in numerous calls from people who received bogus emails apparently from me. I suspect it is the crew, from where I get my emails, that is likely responsible with yet another security leak.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Many years ago I used to post on a Yahoo Group (remember them - probably one of the earliest forms of social media) using my real name. Didn't think for one moment that it might be problematic. Needless to say we got hacked, and the whole thing took a lot of time to sort out and fix. Luckily we didn't get burgled, but we could have done, as I remember discussing holidays at that time.

I tend to be a bit more cautious and circumspect about the internet now, keep separate email addresses for things like social media, online shopping, banking, and personal correspondence with friends and family. I even use a VPN (had a Nord VPN subscription for years, now) from time to time with websites I may not wholly trust.

I'm sure I don't really do enough, but the problem is, the more security layers you add, the more inconvenient it becomes to use many web services. Not easy to find the right balance. The problem is worse for those of us that like to keep old kit going for as long as it still works, too, as that undoubtedly increases the risk. Finally, there are signs that crime levels are rising, and scammers are working as hard as ever to take advantage of people in these tough times, so it seems likely that we'll see an increase in opportunistic theft, I think.

Had a hard time finding renewable energy at my next mystery location, it took me hours till I found this solitary panel.

This flag holds the clue to the mystery place.

There appears to be several of those monuments.

What is the significance of the flag ?

I actually had no idea what the monument was called but Tenerife was what I was after. :oops:

Apparently it’s supposed to be slightly darker but I reckon it’s faded a bit in the sun. :lol:
