20-26 July: When in Rome
“When in Rome” is fast becoming Duncan’s favourite saying of our trip. Each time we are unsure if we should do something Duncan pipes up with “Well, when in Rome…?”. In true Ron Burgundy style, this often makes no sense, but our decision to make a spontaneous trip to the French beach side town of […]

11 – 20 July: It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock Cadel!
WARNING: This blog post may contain scenes of randomness, hilarity, drunkenness and overall joy. Please use discretion prior to reading this post as it is LONG and factual.

We left the Champagne area in perfect sunlight and warm weather and arrived in northern Burgundy just south of Les Riceys to a […]

I write this post in the Burgundy area in the middle of the French countryside. My lovely husband cooking up a storm of Beef Bourguignon (very appropriate) on our little gas stove…ahh there pops the wine…. It has been just been over a week since we bid a very fond farewell to our lovely guests […]

20-23 May: In Seine in the Membrane
With our strategically date transferred tickets, we left Vietnam a week early with the guise to surprise a schoolmate of mine (Seb) in Paris for his 30th birthday. I’d love to say that the idea was mine, but Seb’s wonderful wife Doreen was the mastermind…. We arrived into Paris at about 6am and with customs, […]
