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 […]

Flew to Nice to meet with Cam’s parents Jenni and Pete to commence our French vacances together. Had a sweet rooftop pool at the hotel “Splendid” that we stayed it (actual name of hotel). Cheese, baguette and red wine being the staple from henceforth – oh and some gelato when strolling about old Nice – […]

Had some farewell beers with Jotham before his Berlin departure. We have enjoyed having him in the lands since December 2010, from informative chats and discussions to hearing him slumber in the hallway and recounting his escapades about the town.

The best part about Berlin in summer is that, not only is it hot, but there are a number of great lake options on offer just 30 mins by s or u bahn! Here we have my friend Penny and I doing some lovely on shore posing. Was such a glorious day to get amongst […]
