Our Venice front yard
Normal Venice transport
Gugg entrance, lovely garden
Guggenheim verandah!
A masterpiece!
Swiss cattle with ringing in their ears......
one of many Swiss lakes
the longest roses i've ever seen, about 3 ft! in a Geneva florist
Ah, lunch at the Hotel Gerig (i know, i know, it's a sausage....)
Furka Pass, see the road down below. Like my new 'do'?
Snowballs on the Pass
The train from Geneva to Paris
We have landed in the Mt Druitt of Paris. It must have been the record rollerblading attempt in Paris which meant it difficult to get a room! We found one in East Paris at the Novotel. Today we head off again to the Gare Nord to get the fast train to London.
Not in the writing mood at the moment so I'll let the pictures do the talking.
We have been SO lucky with the weather, only time it rained was when we were leaving a city or riding on a train. Even on the Furka Pass, it was around 15 deg and sunny! 2500 metres up. It is rainy here now in Mt Druitt, sorry, Paris, but we are out of here! Looks like most of Europe is wet.
Well we've been in the right places the whole trip; New York with the bomb threat, London during the election, Canne during the film festival and Paris with the rollerblading record attempt (a 12 metre drop down a dip built up against the Eiffel Tower, he was successful). We've only just missed the Basel Art Fair in Switzerland next week and the Chelsea Flower show in London....oh dear. Can't win them all.
