adam and leigh touched down on Saturday eve from a happy business class upgrade, day in Kuala Lumpur and evening in Dubai. Needless to say, they were exhausted but trooped through bbq on sat eve, the first of the Mustafa kebabs and then many a market on the Sunday . Here they are getting a […]

It was really sad to say bye to Jenni and Pete on our final French day together, above we have Pete seeing whether Cam had any lobe steaks before we flew out. It was a close call returning the rental car in Nimes and getting on the train to Paris, because the bull festival was […]

Cam and I trying to lively up the sleepy streets of Castillon, a super old and gorgeous town that appears to be closed on Weds afternoons. Had some interesting experiences driving through the streets here, with some bizarre alien like tractor zooming around a corner. Once home had a final shop and Uzes peruse before […]

Successful driving and parking experience in Arles, first stop a picnic lunch in the main square complete with dodgy wanderers about. We did the self-guided tour to the places where Van Gogh painted some of his paintings and saw many a medieval place along the way, including the Amphitheatre where they still hold bull related […]

With a full sunny day on the cards, we got the audio guide to tour us about Uzes finding out about religious wars and the textile industry. We also have Cam involved in a Pete photo shoot below, just outside our brilliant apartment on Place aux herbes. The lovely and soon to be married Julie […]

First big day in the car took us to Pont du Gard (below). It’s a Roman aqueduct which brought water from Uzes to Nimes (where denim comes from), supplying that city with 1,000 litres of water per person per day (current consumption is 3 – 400 litres)! We did a couple of meanderings and getting […]

Jenni and Cam here enjoying a ‘Grand Crème’ after some great saturday market strolling and purchasing – Cam here in his new hat. Got some great cheeses too and 20 bottles of (250ml) beers for 6 euro!

Emma and Pete enjoying the balkon at our apartment in Uzes – a town riddled with ridiculously old buildings, this one was 200 years old but some around us were from the 13th Century! Pete had great composure and driving skills to get us from Nice to this delightful town where we were based for […]

Second day in France and thought we should go peruse the Monaco Principality. Streets were creepily clean but pleasant for strolling and seeing the formula 1 infrastructure being wrapped up. Got back to Nice in time for some rain, more baguette, cheese and wine indulgence and a catch up with Tegan! Great to see the […]
