Well i know it has been a long time since i wrote but that is because i have been trying to get my laptop working so that i can upload photos with my blog entries. But ive been unsuccessful and so for now it is just gonna have to be boring words. Today is the 3rd of December and so i have a lot to write but for now im just going to write about my weekend in the South because this computer is going incredibly slow and not loading the letters ...

... in many harbors, this one was very industrial and the city center wasn’t just at the end of the ramp. It didn’t take long for Nickie and Noel to feel a lot better so all the girls put on their pajamas and brought their pillows and blankets to the main salon to watch a movie. It turned out to be a cozy, warm and comfortable evening with popcorn, snacks, drinks and cuddling all up in a huge blob with the girls.

... to allow rain in Italy to clear. Want to re-visit Lake Garda, see if we can't get the spot right next to the lake we last had some 15 years ago, say. Don't know if it's a good idea to go back to the site of happy memories: can you improve on them in any way, or only spoil their rosy glow?
All well with rig, thankfully - you hardly know it's there!

... hill full of massive bugs and locusts. It was this night I had my first freak out. We were drinking wine whilst engaging in philisophical convosation when I heard a noise which sounded exactly like Hyienas. When I turned to see six massive badgers I ran and screamed like a small girl to my tent. The most embarassing part is that I hadn't registered them as badgers and I was screaming "Hyienas!!"

... bah d'accord. Et quand dois-je y être?
Bah dans 4 jours!
Ahhhhh, me dis-je intérieurement, mais non!!! Ok, donc on voit tout ça lundi.
A bientôt!"

Bon, super, je viens d'apprendre que je pars mardi en Hollande pour 4 mois et je n'ai qu'une journée pour tout organiser.

All good things have to end and we said good bye to Graeme and Rita. After having a swim and moping around Sam said - thats it - lets go out, so off went.

The first stop was St Guiliem le desert which is a lovely little town north of Herepian. We then went on to Cirque de Navacalles which is ...

Another leisurely start and then off out we went after a big hail storm that delayed our departure until after lunch.

We headed up towards lake Saligou to add our names to the banks of red rock and then we founded a site where there are dinosaur footprints. Quite an interesting site

On looking up the nearby hill Greame saw a ruin so after looking at each other we ...

Yep it was later start however Ethan was very pleased to have Graeme up and endulging in an early morning swim. Jen and Graeme went for a walk while we went and collected up the pastries for a late breakfast

After a lazy morning and lunch we headed up the Gorges D'Heric for a swim in the rock pools. It was fantastic and the coolest we had been in days.

Another barbeque and a considerably quieter evening all round!!!

Hello again,

After the farmstay in Tuscany, Italy, we took a train north along the Mediteranean to Nice, France. It was an incredibly long journey....but we did get to see a lot of beautiful countryside. We stayed one night in Nice and had a lovely supper there where we met a woman visiting from Montreal....this was my first opportunity to try some French speaking and it was good practice.....anyhow....I am sure I speak French like a two year ...

... magnificent. In catholic fashion each chapel was a masterpiece in its own right with decorated altar, framed paintings, tapestries and high decorated ceiling. At the rear was an immense pipe organ. It had been cleaned up and restored over the last two decades and that was still going on as demonstrated by the scaffolding and workmen on the southern side. Outside the main building were other chapels and cloisters. We had ...
