A beautiful town near Avignon, famous for its beautiful Roman amphitheater.
Those Romans sure were busy!

So this weekend, we went to Greenwich.
Some things have changed… there wasn’t an IGA last time we were here… but I’m pleased to report the Prime Meridian remains.
3 years to the day since we farewelled Tom before he headed off to study and live in Berlin.
We were overdue for a catchup, so we’re back! Hi Tom!
Beautiful Oxford. We were last here in 2016/17. Home of the University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English speaking world. And close to the more contemporary Macquarie University.
They did a good job rebuilding after the war.
2018 we set out to walk all the streets in our family tree.
A few we didn’t manage to cover as the only instances of that street were geographically difficult.
So, this weekend, while we were up Newcastle way for something else, we walked Bender Parade, Kotara.
Keith and Pat Bender, Robyn’s parents. Great people.
Ahh the Danube. Some famous cities straddle Europe’s second longest river, including Linz and Vienna in Austria.
A little warmer this time; we’ve never visited in Summer before so the change in the landscape is striking.
The next morning, we were on our way. The river was just beautiful!
We docked beside a beautiful, huge old fig, which had some of the local area’s dry stone walls running to it. We found a stone that didn’t belong *
Finished the night with, of course, schnitzel. Perhaps not as good as previous, but still, it completed the holiday, back in Vienna.
And an ice cream 🙂
All in all, a lovely weekend away (in Kiama).

Previous visits included Christmas Day where we had lunch at a hotel, and with the kids a couple of years ago.
Went back to Italy for the weekend.
Love Florence.
Florence St, Hornsby 
Locally named 🙂 
Florence. Beautiful fountains 
Edgeworth David bushland reserve. 
Did NOT know Edgeworth David was a famous Australian (via Wales) geologist who went to the Antarctic with Mawson and Shackleton.
