Searching for enlightenment
Meeting up with friends along with way is always so much fun. It adds to the experience to have a rendezvous. I've always wanted to see Chamonix and your description reminds me we need to get there. Switzerland seems to offer everything- the mountains, the valleys, the rivers the flowers and stunning beauty. What a fantastic lunch spot you found.

Hello Dave and Merry Jo, Yes, indeed, Switzerland has incredible beauty, particularly if you love mountains as we do. Sadly we only touched a little corner of it on this journey, as you will see when the next Switzerland blog comes in a day or two, having been to other parts before. I'm afraid the weather beat us on this occasion and we departed for the lowlands, and a visit to Verdun, on our route home and a long time on our list. We're currently in Spain and the wind is blowing a gale! That was not in the plan either! David

Norway has replaced Switzerland...
at the top of the Economist's Big Mac Index, making it the most expensive country relative to Purchasing Power Parity. I just read Masiondebonheur's blog about Japan being cheaper to travel in than Thailand...can't believe that! Anyway, caravaning in Switzerland seems to be the way to go! Thanks for filling in the gaps for last year.

wonderful pics! Thanks for sharing!
I'm from a small place near Lyon. Been living abroad for many years. Maybe I should get back home... years of traveling, looking for amazingly beautiful places when things are actually gorgeous in my backyard. Thanks again for sharing

Feet up, chin up, catch up...
Looks like you're making good use of your time in the sun while we shiver in the wind and rain of an English winter - which reminds me: I should do something about my blogs from our 2011 visit to Canada!!

Sounds idyllic...
such a wonderful way to spend a winter away from the Isles with like-minded friends from many countries.

Hummmmmmmm, the French rack up the tolls? And how do you think they manage to have the best road network in the world? Looking at the pot holes here at the moment with all the rain, the UK feels like a third world country. All above said with a smile of course but still true. So pleased you are having a great time and I can see sunshine too. Come and stay with us when you are back. you are always welcome. Love XX

Motorhome News from Norway
Hello Roger, Many thanks for your comments. It's always good to know someone gets to read some of my nonsense. We did get a mention in an article in the Toronto Globe and Mail (is that right?) some years back following our return from around North America including coast to coast Canada. You'll find our current blogs a bit confusing. We're actually now in Spain, but other commitments have delayed some earlier blogs from 2013 - France, Wales - and Switzerland still to come! The first from our present trip will come in a few days! I'll take a look at your blog when Wifi time permits - we're on campsites in our RV right now. David

Beautiful.
I absolutely adore your writing style. Picturing what your describing is very easy. Have you ever considered writing a book? Anyways, it sounds like it was an awesome trip. I visited France a few years ago and absolutely loved it. Such a beautiful place. Keep the amazing posts coming, Victoria

France
Thank you for your kind comments, Victoria. We love France for its scenic variety, its generous space, passive lifestyle and its respect for motorhomers. I have had a go at writing in the past and have a diploma to go with it, but getting published is another thing! I keep promising myself some free time to have another try but living seems to get in the way and I prefer that at the moment! I quite like poetry too as you might have noticed if you go back far enough. Thank you for reading my ramblings. That's reward enough for the time-being.

Welcome back...
Great to see that you are writing your blog again - have missed reading your adventures. Looking forward to seeing the photos from France - I'm sure they will be as good as ever. I will be interested to read your Switzerland blog having travelled extensively, over the years, in that wonderful country. Happy travelling & blogging in 2014 !!

What a joy to read
We dream of visiting Wales and your prose excites us beyond words. We long to see the "swatches of buttercups, ferns and pink campions along the narrow lanes". We imagine Wales to be blustery and it does sound so by your description. How fantastic to be exploring this wonderful land. Sorry you missed the grave but the cliffside walk and the train sound just perfect. Happy travels.

As you can see I have no idea how to spell this well known and well used Welsh greeting but I'm reliably informed that I pronounce it like a native. I hear on the grapevine that the National Trust are to issue a new £4.00 coin for use in their car parks. It's called the Fossey and in true National Trust spirit it's only available to members for a nominal handling fee of £1.00. Buenos Notches

Hi John, Good to see you're still with us after three years up the Amazon. We're now actually in Spainfor the winter, returning home in early March - Wales was last summer but I've been so involved with marketing at the golf club, my blogging has got rather behind! (We have 114 new members last year and it's still going strong I hear) I always thought of it a 'yakky da' (good health) until i saw the headline here written in the window of the shop where we bought the Welsh Whisky. I went inside to find out what it meant, realising that was the correct spelling, and came out with the bottle (now empty) and the answer to my question. See you sometime soon and hope you are both well and smiling. The blog for this trip will follow Switzerland, wip! David and Janice

Quelle fromage!
Sorry, I did of course mean 'quel dommage'! What a pity we all have to wait another couple of months in grey old England for your photos of this lovely region. We can still enjoy a pint and a pie at our local 'Tankard and Jug' though!

Beautifully written...
I could picture everything, and it reminded us of our canal boating in Holland a few years ago. Thanks for starting to catch up on your blogs for travels in 2013.

Hello Bob, An enlightening experience indeed and one we may one day repeat should the mood take us. Sorry there are no pictures. We're presently in Spain enjoying a little sunshine over winter - and we forgot to upload photos on to our laptop before leaving! The Wales edition to follow shortly, will suffer the same fate I fear, until we return home. David and Janice
