I mentioned in my post about our visit to Lac d’Estaing that Xander and I had a bit of an adventure looking for some waterfalls. Now that some time has passed I can see it for the funny thing that it is and can tell the story with much less swearing. While we were at the lake, we stopped to …

The second day that we were in the Pyrenees we went to the end of the Estaing valley to check out the lake. Apparently it’s a pretty popular area for hikers and it was not far from our campground so we thought we’d start the day off there. It was breathtaking! I so wanted to go on a trail ride …
Read More »One more thing we did while at the campground was played a giant game of checkers. My husband isn’t a big fan of playing games, unless it’s something like Trivial pursuit where he knows his knowledge will always trump mine. I couldn’t believe it when we came along the giant checker board and he said he didn’t know how to …
Read More »One day we visited the Cirque de Moureze which is a really unique area made of limestone rock that has eroded over time and left these giant pillars. It is quite impressive when you look at it! It was hotter than the 7th level of hell the day we were there and we were not at all prepared. When I …

This is a photo I took of Lake Salagou back in 2010 on our previous visit to the south of France. We had visited for the day with my mother-in-law and went for a lovely drive around the area. When we saw her this year we decided to visit again. I didn’t take a lot of photos around the lake …

I’ve come to realize that the sheer number of photos from my trip to France has caused me to set them aside to deal with them later. I have been avoiding them, I’m an avoider, it’s what I do… I avoid. I decided to just take them a bit at a time and post some as I go. That also …

Back in June I went on a day trip to the island of Texel (said “Tessel”) with my photography club. This is something I was really looking forward to as I’d not been to any of the Dutch islands in all the time I’ve been living here. It was a bit of a long way to go for a day …

I am off on holiday! We are going to the south of France to visit my husband’s family and will be taking off on our own to spend five days camping in the Pyrenees! This is where we will be camping. Pretty awesome, right? See you all in two weeks!

Well, as promised after the Divas Day Out in Den Bosch I finally got around to working on the photos. I am glad I didn’t bring my good camera, but they didn’t turn out too bad with the point and shoot. There was shopping. Lots and lots of shopping… It started at LUSH where Paule and Penny were quite keen …

Today my friends Penny, Paule and I went for a girl’s day out in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch, as most people call it). It was cold and rainy but we made the best of it and shopped, ate and just enjoyed each other’s company. Much like our visit to Bergen op Zoom we had a lot of fun browsing through …

At the end of our trip to France last summer, we decided to spend a few days exploring somewhere on our way home. We knew we wanted to go see someplace nice, and we weren’t sure if we’d find anywhere that quite compared to our trip to the Gorge du Tarn two years before. I loved that area, especially Castelbouc! …
