Wanderings around France with my brother and a couple of friends...

My trip to Paris, november 2008. What a beautifull city, have seen so many things there! Just watch the photo's ;)

This was a bus trip that my daughter and I took together.  Although I'm not fond of bus tours, this one was not so bad.  My daughter and I actually had a good time on this trip despite the tempermental weather we experienced along the way.  Paris is such a beautiful and wonderful city and we really enjoy ourselves here no matter what time of year or weather.  I was actually brave enough to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower this time.  It was scary at first, but oh so …

Well what can i say about Paris.. love this city... busy crazy stinky city!! but i dont want to live there.. really bad city for your skin.. my time in Paris was wonderfull.. saw a lot and did crazzyy things there.. haha we had fun!! the most important thing i guess.. haha

July 21 - Paris Plage.  This is set up outside Hôtel de Ville and along the banks of the Seine.  They bring in lots of sand and volleyball nets, and people can go pretend they're at the beach.  Great fun.July 26 - My roommate Amanda's birthday.  We went out to dinner to celebrate, then took her to the Latin Bar, in the Latin Quarter.  The bar's tagline is "A sexy bar for a sexy night," and it has shirtless (very attractive) waiters and bras hanging from the ceiling.&…

On the 27th we were scheduled to return to Canada so we enjoyed a relaxing day in Maisons-Alfort packing and walking along the Marne and through the town. We watched the barge traffic on the river as it ascended and descended through a set of locks near the confluence with the Seine. The Marne is an important part of the water transport network that operates as it has since the 1820's. We were amazed that here in Fance we had no hesitation in leaving our cars behind and using public transit

First day on the boat wasn’t pleasant. I was ill (sea-sickness). What was I thinking when I booked this sailing trip.

I was thinking to go to Normandy because I really know Paris very well but, I landed in Paris and I stayed there. Paris again after 4 years...was really incredible, every time I go Paris i discover something different and I find the same charm in the city of the light.

Some random pics from my random travels

My room mate and i went on a Europe trip back in May of last year.It was our first Europe trip together. We had so much fun, we even brought our gnome with us (he-he-he). We first stayed in Paris and met up an old friend of her's.She let us stay in her apartment while we were there.

A very interesting trip going it alone, with a few small mishaps... but everything worked out fine in the end. Met a lot of nice people in all places traveled, kept meeting people from London in practically all of my destinations... everyone was friendly and everyone was usually very friendly and willing to help. I would definately recommend staying more nights in each destination than I did, but it ws still exciting to move at that pace too.

The village of Yvoire is located around Lake Geneva. Yvoire's position around the lake offers almost a 360 degree view of the lake and a great view of the Alps and old buidings that sorround Lake Geneva. In the 14th century Yvoire was fortified which lasted for a few hundreds years until the 16th century when Yvoire fell under the influence of Bern, an ally of France and Geneva. At this time there was relative peace and no need for Yvoire to maintain its military architecture. What you s…

In May 2003 my wife and I spent one week in the french capital - a great week. This blog is under construction. Just some pictures at the moment.

Very nice trip! To be close to the highest mountain of Europe...in altitude 3842m... first minutes a little problem with my breath, but those filings!!! Fantastic! Stayed until now...
