Full circle

Full circle,we are back in Vancouver, in an airb&b place very central - good spot, very nice apartment, modern with a little outside deck to sit on - and we are minutes from down town Vancouver.   Not that we are too bothered as we are cream crackered - interstate driving - and then city driving all very different from the wide open spaces we have passed through over the last few weeks.  Its that point in the holiday when its time to go home....

The car has gone back - we are unsure as to whether it still housed a mousecedes or not, we haven't had any food or drink in there for a few days but I did discover when I unpacked my emergency pants they had been shredded!!!  BUT they were my emergency pants and I hadn't needed them so they could  have become part of a nest any time over the last weeks...

The car people seemed quite happy with the mess we left the car in having practically lived in it for 60 days - we didn't mention mousecedes but there was a lot of shredded blue stuff, paper and pants lying about!! 

Next I'm going to try and pack sensibly but I fear I will have to abandon the Grey Goose bottle

I thought this picture summed up our rather getting a bit scuzzy lifestyle over the last few weeks, empty 1.75 litre Grey Goose bottle and almost full washing up liquid!!! We have stomachs of iron lined with vodka who needs clean plates!!!

RubyStarrs in Paris...

Finally we have made it to Paris.  It was a bit of a long travel day - we decided to come by train so we could experience the full glory of British Rail or whatever it's called now which actually delivered perfectly on time... and then the Eurostar which was incredibly disappointing!  All that beautiful St. Pancreas Station and the Eurostar is sited in the dungeon... overcrowded, dark, lousy facilitated space...  and then the train was an hour late it felt like a long time before we got any fresh air -  but eventually we wound up in gay Paree...  We navigated the metro and found our airbnb gaff.  A mere 70 steps to the fourth floor on a rather lovely winding wooden staircase to a very nice roof top flat which is comfortable and gives a view across a lovely Courtyard with some obviously much posher flats.  It's located really centrally about two minutes away from the Opera Garnier so a very good location for getting everywhere...

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th

Another Day in Norway where our Trusty Traveller finds Tromsø, Trolls and Totally misses Aurora....

Tromsø - the most northern city on the planet...  Its quite a pretty little town with lots of wood fronted shops, but of course like everywhere like this, it is just one big tourist hive and every shop is selling 'indigenous' gifts- didthe Sami make aurora themed mugs and fridge magnets?  Nearest I'll get a polar bear (i hope) Although I have to say I did like the big stuffed polar bear and black bear and I am presuming that these are either not real (unlikely) or culled as they sometimes have to be.    But most of the stuff is just northern lights  tat or Troll tat.    Peer Gynt.. famous worldover To be fair the best bit of Tromsø for me was the Troll Museum!  We went to the art gallery which was quite interesting (see instagram account) but not astounding, but I always like to look at the local art.  We had a mooch around town in the snow and then we went to find the Trolls.  This museum was absolutely crazy daft...  it was totally dedi
