Samedi 30 septembre : départ de Bangui vers 10 :30. Arrivée à Paris vers 22 :00. Dans l’avion regarder le film Creed 3, incroyable que la franchise de Rocky perdure encore ! Regarder un film français, Un homme heureux, c’était quand même drôle même si ça reflète malheureusement note époque, une femme qui pense qu’elle est un homme. D’habitude je fais mes réservations d’hôtel avant d’arriver sur place, 75-80 % du temps, c’est cela que je fais, mais aujourd’hui je ne l’ai pas fait, malheur a moi ! Pratiquement tous les hôtels de Paris sont pleins !!! Fashion Week !!! J’ai fait près de 20 hôtels, tous complets. Vers 00 :30 j’ai pu finalement trouver une chambre dans un Marriott. La gentille petite femme a la réception avait tellement pitié de moi qu’elle m’a fait la ... read more

No breakfast included in our room for the next 3 days. Why get up early then…. When away there are a few constants. How good are the showers, how comfortable are the beds and where do we do the next washing effort. This morning was a washing moment. S,S&S then sort the washing. Don’t know why coz it’s all going in the same machine. Pack the bags and away we go. Ask reception if by any chance they have laundry facilities. Haha. Nope. Get directions to one they know of. Walk that way and eventually find it, after Chris has accosted a guy in a footwear shop asking if he know where to go. Nice young guy who points out where we are going. Not far. Has a chat about how nice the weather is and ... read more

It’s getting harder to start up these blogs without saying the same old things. Woke early/late. Ate breakfast. Re-packed bags - blah blah….. Anyway. Woke up early, had breakfast and went for a walk to pick the car up from its car park area. Forgot to tell you that yesterday. Because our hotel was in the middle of the old city there was no parking available. The council had, however provided 4 parking lots around the town. P-Ost (east), p-Syd(south) - get the idea…. Our lot was P-Syd. A 3 minute drive from the hotel and a 9 minute walk back. When I went there yesterday arvo there were campervans everywhere. Obviously like a camp ground in the city. Even had toilets and I guess showers. The car park area was also super busy but managed ... read more

We are off to a little town called Ebeltoft today. This was on the recommendation of our masseur, Bruce who has spent quite a bit of time in Scandinavia. The weather started off fine but extremely windy. Rain started as we got closer then the blue skies appeared again. Just like home…. Found our village but missed the first turn. No drama, next turn then into tiny little cobbled streets. Next thing I am going down a street with no cars anywhere. Chris asks if a circle with a red line through it means no entry. Ooops. Bloody tourists. Never mind. No one was injured in the enactment of this driving experience. Got out of there quick smart and back to a large car park where there was the museum of glass. They had an exhibition ... read more

They don't get much better than today. Not quite up with the larks (and welcoming our old friends the mozzie bites 😬) we had a hurried brekkie and drove the twenty minutes to Lego land. Actually, proper danish Legoland. We had been before, nine years ago, almost to the day, Seth hadn't. I don't think it's possible to be any more excited then he was this morning. From greeting a wizard before we'd really even got in, his eyes were saucers taking in everything. Fortunately they didn't seem to take in the fact it was 'ridiculously and wholly inappropriate slogan on t shirt day' My top two were ' screw you hotdog, and ' Monday you bastard' 🤷🏻‍♀️ We started with a frog ride, headed for a mine train, got soaked in a short but heavy ... read more
