Hey Robert,
Slovakia is absolutely no match for Australia, believe me...
Except for snowy mountain ranges, for which you have a nearby New Zealand to travel to...
ahhh well, there you have it...I am partial to those snowy mountain ranges and cool climates.
And as I said that I realize that I am a case in point of the old adage..."The grass is always greener on the other side."
I was curious and have been looking at some photos of plastics in the oceans... It is shocking!

Wouldn't that be something? Seeing western corporations begging certain African/Asian governments to allow them to clear their countries of all plastic waste?
I hope they would be required to give top dollar.
Also, they say certain parts of the ocean are now covered by a sea plastic waste. I can imagine huge ships going there to load all that floating waste for later processing into gasoline. The process allows converting 80% of the plastic waste into synthetic fuel. What is left are hydrocarbons too heavy to be converted into liquid. Those will have to be disposed, that is true.
80 per cent sounds good doesn't it? Now what to do with the hydrocarbons.
It's a strange little world we live on... I'll be glad when we get all the "kinks" worked out on living responsibly on this planet.
Are you enjoying the upcoming summer season? Any exciting vacations planned? ( I live vicariously through your vacation photos.

I still remember your Jerusalem vacation photos...some of the best I have ever seen!
