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.
The Danube

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.

Love Florence.

Locally named 🙂 
Florence. Beautiful fountains

2021 has begun in the same fashion that 2020 ended… Sydney has entered a new lockdown for some, masks have become compulsory indoors, and travel is, for the time being, off.
Can’t see overseas travel returning this year at all.
So, with that in mind, we’re doing an internal NSW travel experience.
We’ll walk a street that has a connection to a past overseas holiday each week.
This week we revisited Reims. There’s been a few changes since we last visited 😉
So, this weekend, we...
