Every journey starts somewhere. For us that's 6 Kabi St, Hervey Bay.

The big first step. Our lovely little airport and our bags checked through to New York
Brisbane Airport
12 сентября 2019 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
One tiny step successfully negotiated. If only all our flights were done in half an hour! But then, if it was that easy to get to the wide world we probably couldn't afford to live where we do. So farЧитать далее
LA

LA airport was a bit hairy but we made it through.
USA at last

Safe and sound in Brooklyn - at chez Rosie. Just about to head out on a bar crawl - an age old recipe for jet lag 🙄

Just realised that Thursday is finally over. The Douglas method of beating jetlag - just stay up late, have way more to drink than usual and you will be fine.

We are actually doing something touristy in New York. Marty has a friend (a regular at the bar) who offered to give us an inside look around.
Another beginning

Our last day visiting the kids. We haven't been very active here lately. Buying new work shoes for Martin and picking up new runners for Jimmy and helping Rosie pack some things for her move don'tЧитать далее

Arriving in London after a smooth flight and an easy train ride in from Gatwick to St Pancras Station we found ourselves with
an hour to fill in before our room would be available. After a quickЧитать далее
Regent's Park
18 сентября 2019 г., Англия ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Having been gifted a beautiful sunny day in London, and safely moved into our studio, it was time for a quick walk around Regent's Park. It's a huge park so it might be better to call it a quick walkЧитать далее

Eurostar Station
20 сентября 2019 г., Англия ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Time to bid London farewell after our whirlwind visit. It has been quite a first week and a bit for us. We are off to Paris on the Eurostar and then on to Chartres a town dating from the middle agesЧитать далее
Hôtel Le Boeuf Couronné Chartres - Logis
20 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Our hotel in Chartres with a view of the cathedral - which is also called Notre Dame - just to be confusing. The hotel does have a lift, but with luggage it is strictly one at a time.
Chartres Cathedral
21 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
As cathedrals go this one rates pretty well on the Douglas' cathedral rating scheme. It was free (big one), they provided a bit of interesting background (but not too much), beautiful windows not tooЧитать далее
It's Cafe time again...

People watching on a Saturday afternoon by the cathedral.

Église St Pierre
21 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Another cathedral - or just an old church? Just an old church of would seem. Why you would build an enormous church here when there was an even more enormous cathedral just up the hill is beyond ourЧитать далее
Hotel Venise
22 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
Back to Paris for a couple of days. Someone seems to have stolen the cathedral out our window and our room is pretty basic. But then I suppose we can find something to do in Paris.
In fact we seem toЧитать далее
Restaurant Rayan
22 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
What better way to finish off our first day in Paris than with a Lebanese meal at the Restaurant Rayan. We hadn't had a Lebanese meal in ages and we lob into a budget hotel 70 metres down the roadЧитать далее
Sacre Coeur
23 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
We visited Montmartre four years ago in the persistent rain. Even in the rain we enjoyed the area and we thought we would try again in the sunshine. As the photos attest, we found plenty of sunshineЧитать далее
Chateau d'eau Montmartre
23 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
This chateau is quite an elegant building, but really, it's the water tower that steals the show.
One of my favourite parts of Paris! Amazing street performers when we were there! Helen
Cafe Renoir
23 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
One thing we did thoroughly investigate last time was the Musee de Montmartre. It's amazing how much extra appeal museums have on a rainy day. We had enjoyed the cafe as well, so we decided to goЧитать далее
Musee de l'Orangerie
23 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
We seem to have hit on a theme today. The last time we visited the Musee de L'orangerie we were hoping to see Monet's famous water lilly paintings. For some reason the galleries where they areЧитать далее
Farewell Paris
23 сентября 2019 г., Франция ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
We have wrapped up our little Paris revisit and we are on the train somewhere between Paris and Lyon. Last night we caught the metro down to watch the Eiffel Tower do its thing and had a bit of a walkЧитать далее
