I love to travel solo, take photos and eat! I don't get to do it often enough but when I do I talk about it here.
Finally writing up my 2019 trip My last full day in Paris and my only real bucket list tourist hot spot thing of this trip. Giverny. I love Monet, I visited the Musée de l'Orangerie in 2014 and marveled at the wrap around water lilies so this was the one thing I wanted to do... Continue Reading →
Finally writing up my 2019 trip My third day in Paris started as any other day, with a trip on the metro. This time to Arenes de Lutece. I had visited in 2014 and found it such a beautiful peaceful oasis in this busy city and wanted to stop by again. I had plans later... Continue Reading →
This was my second trip to Paris. In 2014 I visited Europe for the first time, and Paris was my first stop. I researched. I had lists. I ticked off those lists like the completion freak I am. I had a great time but I hadn't really stopped to smell the roses enough and I... Continue Reading →
Flying economy to Europe from Australia never gets enjoyable. Arriving in Europe from Australia is always enjoyable. One requires the other. Grinning and bearing it, the order of the day. Or days, as the case may be. I live a couple of hours from my nearest international airport. Our train service makes me weep every... Continue Reading →

On my final day in Lyon I was able to sleep in a little. My first obligation was a 10am walking food tour. The third walking food tour of my trip, something I was quickly realising will be essential on any future trip. I have learned so much about not just food, but culture and... Continue Reading →
Another early start in Lyon, this time to catch a bus to Annecy. Whereas yesterday I headed south to Avignon, today it was due East. Annecy is actually closer to Geneva than Lyon so the Swiss influence is strong there. But first, pastries. In less than 2 hours I was in Annecy from Lyon. The... Continue Reading →
After an early start in Lyon to travel by high speed train to Avignon, and spending the morning exploring that beautiful city, I had different plans for my afternoon. I had found an afternoon small group tour of Provence that would show me more of the region. I thought that would be a great way... Continue Reading →
Provence isn't the first place you think of when planning a visit to Lyon, but the fast trains are so good that it is only about an hour to Avignon. And being the over-scheduler that I am I thought why not?! It was going to be a really long day, leaving at 7 and not... Continue Reading →
