Hotel Le Moulin D Aure Graveson

... over 1.5 million tourists each year as it is the source of a natural spring. It's wierd seeing a fast flowing river and then walking 50 metres "upstream" and there only being a trickle.. and then a bit further and no water... nothing but a big cliff straight up!

More news soon but not sure where from - it may not be until Bintan.

... centipede that just sped across the room at 100km/hr? We never found out but Isaac got brave and caught one to keep as a decidedly outdoor pet. He is named Chabal after the crazy and dangerous French rugby player. While all this was distracting enough, there soon were several disturbers just outside our bedroom window. Why they weren't there the first night, no one knows. But as following nights set in they began crawling up the vines, gnawing ...

... window about 7 am every day. Wednesday I had my first French lesson. It is extremely frustrating because I have a well enough understanding of Spanish to make it difficult to switch over to French even though the words are a lot alike considering both languages are based on Latin.
