For a bit of a difference we will be taking a Barge / Bike ride from Paris to Montargis with a company called Van Gogh Tours based in Vermont USA and using a Dutch barge company as a base each evening. The trip is for 7 days and we leave the barge in the morning and go for an escorted ride for up to 43 km each day. We are given a cut lunch to take with us and if we can not be bothered we can just stay on the barge and greet the others on their return.
You can check out the barge at www.europeanbarging.com and the boat that we will be travelling on is on pages 2 & 3 and is called Fleur. The countdown widget has been installed on the Mac and at present I am reliably informed that it is in 8 months and 8 days that we leave home.
The Cathay flights have been booked and paid for, Citadines St Germain des Pres in Paris (we loved it last time) is booked and paid for 4 nights. Hong Kong with 3 nights is paid and Hamish and Casey are just busting to see us with a case topped up to 20 kg with Twisties! The poms bribed the natives with trinkets, this is our chance to retaliate! Twisties for beds!
Keep watching for updates.
