Inter Hotel Saint Martial Limoges

Set upon the River Vezere and quite pretty due to its 15th and 16th century Maisons a Tourelles, which looks like miniture castles due to their turrets. The rain had stopped for our little walk around the village but started again when we got back to the car - great timing!

Stayed last night in a pretty little medieval village of Solignac, right on the town square next to the villages 11th century church, which is on the pilgirmage route - Santiago de Compostela. It had rained last night and was still raining so our wander around was brief! Our plan today was to stop at several little villages in the area, of which they got progressively prettier.

... on one side, women and children on the other. The group of women were taken to the church. The Germans then split the men up into 6 groups and sent them off in different directions. His group was taken to one of the barns in town, Laudy’s. A pair of machine guns were set up at the threshold of the barn. Two soldiers were stretched out behind the guns, and two others stood by with belts of ...

... with its stone old church and pretty shuttered houses. But most of the time was spent under the cherry tree- and what a great spot that is. I could have done with a little more of the same, but, with a busy week ahead of catching up with friends, I had to board a flight back to London, which, after my French escape, seemed all the more crowded, dirty, and smelly! .

... with a handbag. Made more sketchy by the same fellow (obviously a scholar) re-entering the building and leaving with another hand bag and a guitar. I wander where he was going with his two handbags and guitar. . .

We cycled on to find a camping spot. After 5 days of intense cycling in heavy heat with no shower we were forced to sleep in amongst a thick cloud of smell which could quite literally "gag a maggot".

... well, I left my rape alarm at home so that was out of the question. Fortunatelly Alex's parents where near by and they offered to take me to the city. We went to the tourist office to get directions for a bike shop. On the way out I saw a car go ploughing into an old lady; after rotating a few times she hit the deck and I was the first to reach her. I started talking to her and she soon ...

... way through, these teenagers came through. They were yelling, laughing, running around, hanging all over each other PDA style... overall being DISGUSTINGLY disrespectful. Sure, it was personally annoying, but more than that, it was horrifying that these European youth could have such disrespect for their own history... so sad and that is what really angered me about the whole thing. There were these quotes in one room, projected from ...

Ahh, first full day of driving. Which meant that we were running out of gas! First time driving in France, don't speak the language, don't know what kind of gas this rental car uses, plus it's getting late and we're driving in the countryside (lovely farms I might add). And we have no idea where we're going to sleep! And we're getting hungry ...

... 6 months in central America ? Surprise ! In the idea of continuing my hooks up with friends, I am now in Los Angeles with one of my best friends. Relaxing is the motto of my time here. Of course, there is a little bit of going from optical store to optical store but it is mainly about the dogs, the bunnies, barbecues, hikes and chilling out with friends, a good location to hook up with some people I had met in Bali as well ! What a small wonderful world.

Stayed at a campsite in the Dordogne which is the best I have ever seen and based around a large chateau with a Lake. The Dordogne is pretty and we used the time to just relax a bit and treat it like a holiday. On route to le Verdoyer the roads were so straight that you could travel without a bend for over 5 mins. I wished I had a Porsche not a Nissan.
