Our first holiday all year! We had a long weekend in Taupo with the grandparents. The drive was really good both girls did really well. It was lovely to get away and relax? Iris continued to wake at 5.30am for a daddy walk in the early hours and olive sneaked into bed for a cuddle at 6.30am with mummy. (I got the better deal)

Valencia camping ground - surrounded by kiwis and Aussies in their homes

Valencia camping ground - surrounded by kiwis and Aussies in their homes

Valencia - the ceiling of the Market Legs of Ham galore In one of Valencia's main squares we had to rush through Tom getting impatient as we left Smurfy waiting. Stopped off for a night at a beautiful pebbly beach campsite on our way to Barcelona to catch up with The Don. A pebbly beach outside the campsite near Tarragona

Yee gads there's a giant nose trying to destroy Bruges main square!

Yee gads there's a giant nose trying to destroy Bruges main square!

The local band decided to play in the square on our arrival. How nice! On our way up to the top! The view from the top of the clock tower. Aka, "In Bruges" clock tower. Wellington, thataway! More of the magnificent view. More of the view from above. And some more. The giant jewellery box mechanics behind the bell tune the tower sings out every 15 minutes. And now to the big descent! Back into the main squre "Burg" square The belfry from afar Cute pointy step shaped roofs were common place in Bruges The sun made its first appearance. Perdy cobblestone patterns. Belgian waffles. MMmmmm. Tasty dripping in Maple Syrup! One of the hundreds of horse drawn carts racing the tourists through the streets. Chocolates galore - there were so many types we couldn't possibly get through them all. But we tried. On our canal cruise Luckily (?) we didn't need our own umbrella, as the lady two in front of us carried a beach umbrella! (The poor bald guy in front of us kept getting poked by it on his noggin). Markets line the side of the canal Cute waterfront hotel. Why couldn't we stay there? More of the distinctive architecture. Sleepy duck in a sleepy town. Mmmm, tasty Brugse Zot - the last remaining brewery in Bruges (which pretty much caters for the tourist hordes!). A lace maker hard at work. Lets play spot that beer! Dusty blurry crate of beer in the brewery. Pretty greenery around the canals. Poor horsey wouldn't stop dribbling. Must be getting old. "The Beguinage" - a group of houses where nuns apparently live. There's one! Heading off to find the "hill" with the windmill Gini with the huge windmill hill behind her. The "panoramic" view from the top of the "hill" Mmmm. Mussel dinner #1. Reminiscent of Leuven - with Hoegarden and Leffe Blondes.

Let there be light! Pretty candles Deep in thought Why so many colours on one roof? Eglise St Nizier Sitting in the square in Lyon eating a tartine. Yesterday was a travel day - without issues. Plane to paris, fast train to lyon and metro to hotel. Time to explore! Eating breakfast (tarine?) One of the many bridges that cross the Rhone Ask him to look at the camera! The mighty horse! Almost at the top ...... Gini puts the cathedral into perspective. The inside was stunning A wonky road?
