Singapore Airport

We can't quite believe we are on our way back to Oz already. Our last few days in Provenc were cold but picturesque, although not always successful! Tried twice to go to an Abbey that's cut into the rock that's a 15 minute walk up a slight hill fromt he carpark. Attempt 1: realised it didn't open until after 2pm, & it was 12.30pm. Took a drive off a beaten path to follow bits of the Via Domitia, an old Roman Road, found a milestone still in situ & went back for Attempt 2: Realised that it wasn't open on Mondays & we it took us a while to work out what day it was. SO never actually saw the Abbey!

On Wednesday, we drove to Digen-les-Bains in the mountains East ie towards Italy. It was gorgeous scenery but a slow trip as we kept stopping to take photos! Made it & saw a hill slope of fossillised Ammonites - big curly shells abotu a foot in diameter.

The train trip back to Paris was great again & we had a lovely last night in Paris doing some last minute shopping & eating out. Early start today & had a squashy train trip to the airport. Could hardly breathe for a few stations, & neither Jen nor I could get 2 feet on the ground for a while as there was no space. Thought Mum might be left behind on the station but Jen squished her backpack so the doors could close!

Anyway, we've had a lovely time & will be back home very soon!
