Time to Chill – Chocks Away Chaps

Tweet

This site is a fine inaugural entry in my new “Time to Chill” section; a section dedicated to bringing you my favourite sites to promote relaxation and well being (or, to put it in a rather less pompous fashion – how to waste time when you’re feeling a little bored but can’t actually be bothered to do anything section – though that title’s not quite as catchy).

Goggles cites itself as being a flight simulator based on Google Maps and, whilst it’s about as much of a simulator in the true sense of the word as I am funny, it’s a brilliant idea and no doubt will give all young children and lethargic adults whole minutes of sheer, harmless fun.

Using your cursor keys you get to fly your prop plane across various locations in the world, such as London, New York, Washington, Dublin, Zurich, Amsterdam, Madrid and so on. I am, however, taking leave of absence from this site on account of the fact that my wife spotted me waving to a car as I executed an accomplished figure-of-eight manoeuvre over a residential district of Sydney following a quick five minutes flying across Mars (Mars and the Moon are also featured).

So, if you are wondering what to do with yourself, or you just want to chill before real life snarls at you once again, you can take to the air in the Goggles prop plane here.
