Theres not alot Rotten In This Shire of Denmark...

We decided at the beginning of this trip to go slower and spend more time in each place instead of rushing like lemmins to see what round the next corner so we are doing our best... We have spent 3 days at a very nice camping at Parry beach ... with a friendly kookaburra and brave mouse that came to visit us in the night. The place is alegedly teeming with deadly snakes but we havent seen any .. yet..

From this base we have walked on alot of beaches, and we wandered on some  cliff tops and up some hills... and scrambeled on quite alot of rocks...we visited Greens Pool - good for swimming and Elephant rocks, both were very pretty but absolutely crowded as it was the weekend. 
We had a pleasant wander around Denmark which is quite a pretty little town, full of nice shops with very expensive things in... some nice artwork and good cacti though. 
But mainly it's been more stunning long beaches, turquoise seas and crashing waves... and in between a few nice swimming lagoons with not so crashing waves so I,ve actually been swimming properly..  out of my depth!
There's been a continued proliferation of huge giant boulders some on the beach.. some on hills and Dr Fred has been and touched them all - he has also looked longing through the van window at distant crag on the top of far away mountains... but you can't have everything!!
Today we did the elevated treetop walk in the Valley of the Giants. The trees native to this area are called Tingle trees - and they are pretty amazing - some of them are really old amd consquently really huge. 
The walkway is really good - a 600 metre stretch which takes you up 40 metres high so you really are looking down on most of the trees.  It's obviously very sturdily built but has a quite definite sway as you walk along the gantries which have got metal fenced sides and a grill floor for optimum viewing...
it was pretty amazing - very tranquil, but a bit creaky in places and fortunately not too busy - there are supposed to be alot of Quokas but didnt see any.  I'm still a tad disappointed at lack of wildlife.... 
I went and swam at peaceful Bay ... Dr Fred did rocks... we climbed Flagstaff lookout and looked back along the bays.. as always stunning views. 
This is good camping (again)... probably my joint second favourite - we have a good private spot with a campfire... but tomorrow or by the time I post this we will be off round the next corner...

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
