Walkies with dad. School XC runs used to go round/through these waters in sleet & freezing rain. Fun memories!?!
Little wonder around Oundle. Wouldn't be England if it wasn't raining though Very pretty place all the same.
There's been an inn on this site since 1552! Room for tonight is very cosy & not at all medieval though. Phew!
Beautiful day to fly. Cattle class boarding but disembarking like a rockstar! First trip to England since 2015.
Dinner before heading to airport. This roadside warung had the best BBQ chicken! Ginger tea from cart nextdoor. Nom!
Five star hotel breakie. Oh my! Small selection from 2 mornings here. Yes, was much more I didn't photograph! Nom!
Need to cool off after the gym? Luckily there's an infinity pool by the river for that!
Dinner and a show. Take your photo with the cast. Isn't that what old people do?! Oh dear!
Afternoon tea... some tasty Asian nibbles, fruit shots and as much chocolate cake as you can eat. Yum!
The hotel's Forest Trail walk, & back past spa & farm. Lovely breeze down by the river but still need to cool off...
Ermmmmmmmm... might be some big trees around here!! #GiantLeaf
Stopped by Murni's Warung for 'a couple of drinks'. Ordered bowl of black rice pudding. Yeah, sounds about right!
Full of roast pork, think we're done. Then heard this stall famed for fried bananas. Have to find out why, right?
Wait a second, where there's a market isn't there, FOOD!? So many choices but martabak pandan keju susu the best!
Pura Agung Besakih, the largest & most important Balinese Hindu temple complex. Lots of activity & very interesting.
The former palace of Tirta Gangga, now a beautiful water garden of fountains, statues & ponds brimming with huge koi.
Warung Sabar: seafood so good that instead of ordering dessert after the main we asked for an entree of fish cakes!
Small pause in our food extravaganza: instant noodles for supper. Someone is still excited to try these though!
Seafront digs for couple of days. Welcome drinks by the pool. Room overlooking their tropical garden. Not bad at all!
Taman Ujung water palace. Super beautiful. Was a lovely cooling breeze in the pavilion's shade. That's good design!
Sea turtle conservation project in Sanur. When eggs are found in unsafe location they are hatched here then released.
After breakie by the beach... picked up a few more dishes to take home for an early lunch. Holiday theme emerging?
Breakfast treats from beach side food cart & warung. Chicken bun & roll then pork satay, soup & sambal. Hit the spot!
Morning stroll at Sanur Beach. Few clues we're in Bali - cos going on voices here you'd think it was 'straya mate!
Short but steep hike through mostly shady forest to Passerelle d'Holzarte. Cool suspension bridge over a deep gorge.
Another sublime lunch at Auberge d'Ahusquy. Yes, you correctly counted drinks followed by 4 courses! Nom!
So lucky to have this super cute new neighbour. Also lucky she hasn't learnt to roll in the mud like mama yet!
Pratiwi very happy to meet pigs on our walk today. Pigs equally interested. Who is more excited to eat who though?
Stopping to chat with the neighbours on this morning's misty walk.
Lunch @ Centre Routier l'Imprevu. 5 courses for 14.50. Very nice, esp. the cheese board. Must be bargain of the trip!
Rest stop overlooking Lac de Grand Maison on the Western side of Col du Glandon. Looking nice and full thankfully.
Obligatory, 'seek out Asian food whenever in a town larger than we are used to' lunch photo. Yin Ba, Annecy. Nom!
Quick (& damp) look Annecy old town. Part of a good tourist pic is making busy places look calm & it's only June!
We were given free public transport passes in Switzerland, so on our last day here used on cable car to Hasliberg
Back into Wengen to catch the train 'home' to our camping. Some particularly well kept gardens here. Beautiful place.
Obligatory, 'hiking past cows in Switzerland' shots
Heading back downhill now. Back through more beautiful forest. First time I've seen purple pine cones!
Out of the forest to spectacular views down the Lauterbrunnen valley. Another amazing Swiss hiking experience!
Heading out of Wengen on a little hike today. Up into the forest for the first leg...
Few random shots from the road today. Sadly these don't do justice to the beautiful drive through the Jura
When lunch terrace has red shades - argh! Very nice steak & crepe/pizza thing + ice cream & soft cheese dessert. Nom!
Beautiful forest snowshoe above Payolle. Didn't see anyone else, but did see couple of wild boar in there. Awesome!
Another great day on the piste up at Grand Tourmalet - La Mongie/Barages
Another boulangerie that's new to us, so obliged to try their cakes. Oh no! Pratiwi is clearly distraught too!
Montpezat-de-Quercy. Another lovely little medieval village, with commanding views over the surrounding countryside.
Short walk in Bruniquel. Love off-season tourism, have this beautiful medieval village practically all to ourselves!
In Toulouse for a routine appointment. Never miss a chance to visit fave Indian restaurant here. Nom, nom, nom!
Yesa Reservoir: Sea of the Pyrenees. Sadly seems there's been no 'sea' here for years. Quite surreal landscape today.
Mushroom, mushroom! Yes, 'tis the season to have fun searching for mushrooms our daily stroll
Finally up close with wild boar! Luckily seem uninterested in an Indo snack *May not actually be wild or boars
