I had to.

My hostel is just near the bottom on Sacre Coure so I did the whole Amelie thing, also joined the hoards taking photos of the Moulin Rouge, just trying to cover all my movie bases.

I got in trouble taking this photo with a flash as apparently you aren't allowed out of respect for the dead. I would have thought it would have been more respectful not to rearange their bones for others' entertainment, but maybe that's just me...

Nice to see what kind of picture the world is getting of Australia.

Schweinehaxe plus Sauerkraut

And one litre beers...

Can you guess where I am? Meanwhile the other people in the beer hall thought we were hilarious.

Schnee! Schnee!

Lyon, the first snow of the season there.

And Hinterzalten, in the Black Forest (near Freiburg).

I have been slack about photo posting and I'm sure you are all very sad about that. Here is a brief rundown, like a montage except not. Note change of seasons in 2 weeks.

Beach at Nice. Lovely day, you can't see in the photo but people are swimming and topless sunbathing. In November!

The bridge to Avignon. Apparently in some famous song of the same name. This is their main claim to fame apart from the whole popes living there for a while thingy.

Dijon, note SNOW!!! A week after beach.

An owl in Dijon too. Apparently if you stroke it it brings good luck. I put this one in for Guy.

Weilnachmarkt in Freiburg. Is really pretty and nice and you can drink lots of Glühwein, the only pain in the arse is the pfand so you have to return the cup and not walk home with it.
