Home sweet home

Arrived home safely. Enjoyed Dubai but ohh so expensive. Saw the sunrise over the desert which was amazing. Saw the new and old Dubai with a  tour guide. Exceptionally interesting. Nice to be home with my family but planning more travels😂😍

One more stop

We have had a wonderful time in Paris. Champagne tour was very informative and loved the French countryside.  We visited Versailles - a second visit for me - but always see different things withmy eyes.  Loved the croissants we had for breakfast along with strawberry jam.  

Time for us to head to Dubai for our final stop before heading home to our loved ones. We have missed everyone but will plan another trip soon

Continuing our travels

Not posted for a few days due to feeling unwell. On the mend but going at a slower pace. 

We arrived in London and met up with Gwen who had booked the Vicotry Services Clib in Hyde Park. A great location.  We had already organised a tour to go to Stonehenge and Bath. Both places ver great with a lot of history 

The next day we were treated to the Queen Victoria exhibition at Buckingham Palace. This was a real treat and very special as we had not been into the Palace before. 

In the evening we went to see The Book of Morman. Wow this was so hilarious and we all laughed throughout 

The following day we headed to Shamley Green where my sister lives. Love this little village and my sisters home. Lovely garden setting with lots of flowers and of course pelargoniums .

The next day we travelled to Nymans and had a lovely time looking around the gardens. Such beautiful flowers 

In the evening we met up with family to celebrate Gwen’s birthday. It was grand to see everyone again and just catch up over a meal and drink 

The following day we headed to Gatwick airport to board our plane for a few days in Lisbon.  Lisbon is a great city and we spent a number of hours just strolling around the streets before retiring to bed

 

Today we have bought a hop on hop off bus pass. Such great value. We have seen a great deal of the city as well as stopping for the Portuguese tarts 

Border control to London

After our break in Bruges we headed into Francewhere we caught the Ferry from Dunkirk to Dover. Crossing was good. Calm seas and a time to relax watching the water pass by.  Back to my homeland. Lovely to see those ohh so white cliffs of Dover. Looking forward to seeing Gwen soon. 

Final day of tour

Left Amsterdam I’m the wee hours of the morning. Nap time on coach as travelled towards Belgium for a stop in Bruges. What a wonderful placewaffles. Chocolate and beer !!
