Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Eighteen
October 25-27, Toulouse We ate a quick breakfast of yoghurt and a coffee beverage we’d been purchasing, a latte like product usually produced by Nescafe, both capable of being stored unrefrigerated overnight, and made our way to the Termibus Station. With a little time to burn we each had a café con leche and split […]
Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Two
September 24 – 26, Orisson to Zubiri We slept OK that night, the snoring of one of our Australian female roommates hardly an annoyance and preparing us for future nights of sleeping in rooms with groups of other folks. We awoke to the alarm at 6am in pitch dark; it wouldn’t get light out until […]

Copenhagen, Part Three
10/5-10/14 Our plans for an early start were sidetracked as we all slept in pretty late, given our post midnight bedtime the night before and the long tiring day that preceded it. Bev’s knock on or door roused Francois and I around 9am and within a short time, we’d showered, dressed and prepared for another […]
Copenhagen, Part Two
10/5-10/14 Maria gave Bev and I a ride to the Vedbaek train station making our trip to the Copenhagen airport simpler than if we’d walked down to the take the bus. Simone and Dillon were to meet us at the airport and while we waited for them there, we each got a bite to eat, […]
Europe 2014 – Montigny – The Last Time We Visit Francois Here, the End of an Era
Timeline: October 25th – 28th Up early for our long drive to Montigny (we’d reconfigured the car the day before, putting the bikes inside) we hit the breakfast room promptly at 7am and filled up for the road ahead. It was still a bit dark out as we backed the car from the narrow space […]
Europe 2014 – Torino – Sometimes What You Can’t See is Good for You
Timeline: September 30th We set off that Tuesday morning under cloudy and rainy skies, a condition that would follow us the entire day. We’d made a reservation at a B&B Hotel so weren’t too concerned about the weather or the amount of time it would take us to complete the days drive. The distance to […]
Europe 2014 – Annemasse/Geneva/Annecy – The End of a Great Week and Start of Our Last Month
Timeline: September 25th – 30th Lisa Neddam had contacted us via email in Bulle to let us know that Adrien’s situation had not improved and they would have to decline hosting us in Geneva. We scrambled again for lodging, this time arranging to stay Friday night at an Ibis Budget property, the Annemasse, on the […]
