I finally went for that walk through the fen reserve near St Ives. It's lovely, peaceful & relaxing, even though I'd walked about 4 miles all up by the time I got back to Michelle's. It was a lovely sunny day & even reached 26c I think.
I'm heading back to Europe tomorrow, will be in Paris by tomorrow night & staying there 9 days. Lots of walking, sightseeing, a couple of bus trips maybe. My first venture totally by myself in a foreign country. Just as well a lot of French people speak English, I'm v limited in French. I'll put up photos, maybe not the usual sights though.
Who liked the 'dog' building outside Amsterdam? I was talking to a couple of Dutch women at the YHA in Bath & asked them about that building. They hadn't thought of it as a dog, haha! They were going to row about 200 miles in about 6 days in a canoe, passing through 26 locks along the way. They were hoping for no rain, sitting in water for each shift would be unpleasant, to say the least. YHA's often have interesting people. I talked to an Englishman, been travelling around for a few years, could be considered 'homeless' I guess, going from YHA to YHA with the occasional trip overseas. Obviously not broke though. He had decided to go back to his home city of Birmingham to buy a one bed flat 'cos he's 68 & wants a settled base to continue travelling from!
Tomorrow I go under the English Channel by train, no seasickness, yay!
