Wow you two never stop!!! Just reading about everything you did and saw was tiring, you certainly packed in a huge amount! Enjoy Brussels and have a safe flight home. From 2 very lazy travellers in Malaysia......

At last
Sorry I haven't sent any comments off. You know how slow my computer is to download. Love the photos. You both look soooooooooooooo well. Maybe it is the fab weather you seem to be having. I am not looking at all the photos. I would sooner see them at your home on the big screen with "personal memories". See you when you get home. Love, Mer xx

Pyrenees
The terrain looks wonderful and completely different to our bush. Sounds like the internet is working well for the most part as the blogs seems to updated regularly. The Milleau bridge looks great and very impressive. I am pleased that the weather is mostly good but the odd bottle of wine certainly helps improve the weather. Mark and I are going walking At Silverton ( near Broken Hill) next month with his bushwalking club. It should be interesting since I love Broken Hill. Enjoy your trip and thanks for the blog. Cheers Pete

France looks great
Hi Chris and Ian, Enjoyed latest Blog. France looks very interesting, but I can imagine how difficult it is in hot weather-and navigating the language!! Great you are still getting in walks, despite heat. Den.

Hello! It looks absolutely amazing! (For those that don\'t know I\'m referring to the bridge!) Sounds like some tough decisions around the rouge or the blanc! Looks like a 2013 vintage in the picnic table photo. Glad you\'re having fun!

joy of holidays.
hi Ian and Chris, Nice to see you are having an fantastic holiday. The Italians are extremely charming , but they never get it right!!! For the better beaches you have to stay home, but I am sure, you would not have missed the experience. We are having a mild winter here. Keep enjoying the trip, we are thinking of you.Kind regards Anna..

glad all's well
Hi Ian and Chris, Great your knee recovered, Chris and you both are doing so well with your walking. Beers look great!! So does the countryside. Hope your passports caught up with you okay. By the way, I am impressed with all the travel by public transport you both are doing. You're braver than we were. Den.

Jealous
Hi ya, looks like a good time had by you both. Photos look great. Sure you weren't in Salzburg. Very sound of music-esque!! Glad you found passports but astonished that you left them there given the amount of times you usually check things haha.

On the road again!
The countryside looks great and a gentle walk sounds relaxing after the recent knee trauma. It seems the weather is great as well which means the countryside is at its best. I hope the beer and wine is up to standard. Enjoy today. Cheers Pete

Sore knees and beautiful terrain!
What bad luck to come acropper on the walk. Murphy's Law was definitely a player. I hope the knee settles and the physio works. The photos look great and the Dolomites seem spectacular. No more accidents please. While reading the story it reminded me of my twisted angle in South Africa, it severely upset my last week of the holiday hobbling around. Cheers Pete

How's the knee??
Well by the time you get this another 8 or 9 hours of healing time will have passed. So how is the knee faring at this stage??? Good enough to hit the hills?? And so sorry to hear it happened at all. Reminds me of the time in the Warrumbungles some years back when at the end of a 9km hike and just about to turn back I badly sprained my ankle - I thought in fact I had broken it, I wasn't game to take my boot off and check. The return trip was longest 9km I have ever walked. And I didn't have the option of a helicopter either. The only choice Peter had was to roll me over the cliff or begin a long, slow walk back. John

$38,000 helicopter ride
Ian, it reminds me of the bill I was anticipating when they flew me by plane from Griffiths to Sydney last year (the anniversary is not far away - 9th August!). All I could think of all the way was a possible bill and who was going to pay for it. Good decision not to get the chopper. The walks sound wonderful, a little stone cottage at the top of one of those mountains sound ideal, if not a little cold! Thanks for the update. John

Good luck with the knee
Hey you two, sorry to read about Chris's fall, Murphy's Law!!!!! As you know, we cannot imagine why you would voluntarily do a "difficult" walk, but your misfortune was bad luck. Well done Chris for making it back to base and we sincerely hope you have not done any major damage!!!! Enjoy the rest of your trip. Angie

Hope Knee Is Okay Chris
Hi Guys, What you have been doing in the Dolomites sounds marvellous but hope your knee mends, Chris. What bad luck to have that happen to you. Hope it's okay for the rest of your planned trips, given much is walking. Love the photos, Ian. Look forward to more. Den.

pompeii
Hi Guys, Thought Pompeii would interest you. We didn't get to climb Mt. Vesuvius, but certainly were well warned about pickpockets in Naples and on public transport. Keep safe. Den and Tony.
