mmm...stinky cheese

---

Well so end the adventures in France (for now). I'll spare you all the details to avoid provoking jealousy 😉 but pretty much it boils down to the fact that I had an absolute ball in Tours- thanks to my wonderful friends and travel guides, Alex and Thierry. I have eaten enough pastry for the next four years, tasted stinky cheese so stinky that is actually illegal in most parts of the world, seen countless acts of brilliant music and wandered aimlessly like I've never wandered aimlessly before!

And as if that wasn't good enough, I have photo evidence as well!! 😊

...but now on a sadder note, back to Scotland...

Bon Courage

Hey Chaz, It was a real pleasure having you in Tours, and you made us, Alex and me, visit the city. I didn't know that something happened here. I discovered some cool pub and cool band. Wish you the best and a good return to Scotland, then Australia. Hug to everyone i know. Don't forget to keep in touch with this American Manager...:) Peace. Thierry.
