Oh No, Not Again!!

I really did say that I was not going to burden myself with a continuation of 'Our Travels' blog however, if I keep it simple and to the point it should not be too bad. Our last entry tidied up the end of our 2006 stay in France and the somewhat adventurous trip home. It's hard to believe but that was six years ago, almost to the day. That is not to say that we have been idle in that time. In late 2007 we had a marvellous tour to Spain , Portugal, and Morrocco culminating in a cruise on the Funchal back to Fremantle from Athens, through the Suez (including a cruise on the Nile and a visit to the Valley of the Kings), then to the Maldives and so on. Our next substantial tour was a cruise in 2009 through Asia out of Fremantle aboard the Athena. This cruise included Singapore,Thailand, Malaysia,Brunei,and Saigon in Vietnam. In 2010 we flew to Barcelona for a Meditteranean cruise aboard the 'Brilliance of the Seas". Here we visited Toulon,Pompei,Rome,Florence,Venice,Dubrovnik,then back to Barcelona. 2011 saw us travelling aboard the Princess Line ship 'Sun Princess' to New Zealand and back to Brisbane. Intermingled with all this 'gadding about' were several trips to Canberra, Ballarat and Point Lonsdale following our children and grandchildren as they got on with their lives. I suppose then that you would not be suprised to know that this post is being written in Caunes-Minervois and in exactly the same house we had in 2006..and yes, parked down in the Abbey carpark is a brand new Citroen C4 that will get us around for the next 80 days or so before we arrive back home on 18 November 2012.
