Okay, so this flight was all over the sea….so there wasn’t anything in between worthy of videoing (apart from a bit of Corsica). But here’s the take-off and landing.
First Full Day in Dubrovnik
The most striking thing about this place is how clean it is. Everything is spotless. There is no litter. There are no fag ends. But I never see anyone cleaning the place. There are stainless steel handrails and guards in public areas in the old town which are polished with a mirror finish. So, armed…
Dubrovnik Sunset
With a thunder storm on its way, I ventured onto the hotel balcony once more to set up a timelapse to capture the ‘sunset’. Instead of beautiful reds and oranges I got angry clouds and moody skies.
Dubrovnik Sunrise
Last night, before I settled down to sleep (which was a bad night’s sleep because I have been bitten to bits by mosquitoes) I set up the camera on the balcony of my hotel set to run a timelapse to catch the sunrise. Not overly spectacular. Sunset will be better. I’m going to set up…

Destination Dubrovnik
Arrived one and a half hours (1800) ago in Dubrovnik. Flight was just over two hours from Salerno airport, 50% over the land (Salerno to Bari) and then direct to Dubrovnik airport. First impressions? EXCELLENT. Once again, people are incredibly friendly and helpful. Also, there is incredible efficiency here. As soon as I was handed…
The First Video: Jersey to Cannes
Okay, so here’s the first video. The scenery from Jersey to Clermont Ferrand was boringly flat but it got a bit better from Clermont Ferrand to Cannes. We had problems with some of the cameras; one didn’t work and two got fogged up. But, here is some of the sights. Sorry it’s not more spectacular!…
Sweet Sorrento
This is my second time in Sorrento. The place has a magical charm. It’s carefree, warm, lively and cosmopolitan. The people are friendly, the food is great and the scenery beautiful. We had a hire car arranged in Salerno (our airport of arrival) so we could drive into Sorrento. Getting from Salerno to Sorrento is…
Video – Landing at Elba
The first landing without an airspeed indicator. This video is a simply ONE CAMERA shot. Full edited up videos coming soon when I get a chance to edit them….the sun keeps luring me away from the PC and I’m too tired when I return to my hotel every night!
Salerno, Italy – Touch Down!
Took off from Elba Island this morning at 0640z (0840 local time) and arrived at Salerno at 0920z (1120 local). Dodged thunderstorms and did some flybys along the Amalfi Coast. Click Here To See Current Location.
France….
And so the first two legs through France are complete. It was never intended that any serious amount of time was spent in France. It is a large country and has to be crossed in order to access the rest of Europe. So, a stop was planned overnight in Clermont Ferrand to allow refuelling with…
From Cannes to Elba. An interesting flight.
So far on this trip everything has gone to plan. Flight plans filed and received. Plane working like a dream. Weather perfect. That was all to change on this leg. We woke up especially early to make sure that no horrible weather prevented us taking off en route to Elba. We didn’t need to get…

Jersey to Cannes via Clermont Ferrand
The Flight from Jersey to Cannes. This part of the trip was split into two legs for safety. The whole flight might have been done in one go but if it had, as I approached Cannes the plane would really have been running on fumes. Since Cannes airport is located on the coast with a…
Updated Position Report:
First two legs of the trip complete. See here for the current location: https://olafjersey.com/current-location/
The Final Leg – Prague to Jersey
This last leg is a long one, 700 odd miles. I am hoping to break it down into just two hops rather than three. I have tried to plan a route which is a straight line heading west. The obvious thing to do would be to do the first leg 350 miles and the second…
Planning Prague
If you’ve read some of the other pages here you may be aware that I binned visiting Budapest because of a lack of time. My research on the internet shows a real split between which is best: Prague or Budapest. I don’t see it as which is best but more, which suits best for a…
New Design
I’m not sure there are many people out there in the dark following the blog….but for those of you who are: I don’t like blogs that I’ve seen with just a long long long list of historical blogs. So, I’ve decided to change the design of the blog site. I’ve made it more into a…
