Hello France

It's goodbye to my little cottage for a couple of weeks so that I can cruise up the Rhone River in France. My daughter and I leave tomorrow and it is finally staring to sink in that the trip we have dreamed about and planned, for simply ages it seems, is about to begin. For me it is a return to a country I didn't see enough of first time around, for my daughter, a first. I'm looking forward to the slow trip through Provence and Burgundy, followed by a few hectic days in Paris before coming home.

So I won't be blogging for a while, but expect lots of bragging when I get back!

Memories

I love to travel. I would do it more if I could afford it. I have been lucky to visit the UK and Europe and I am about to head off with my daughter for a river cruise through Provence and Burgundy, finishing with a few days in Paris. I have been looking through my travel ephemera to get me in the mood. The picture isn't terribly well focussed, but I'm sure you get the idea.

This picture was taken from Monmartre at dusk; you can just make out the Eiffel Tower in the background, but you can see there is a bit of air pollution happening too. I feel sure that when I get back to Oz in a few weeks time, I will have lots more memories to treasure.
