Germany, Lucerne and Paris!!!!!

HI all---sorry about silence on blog. I havn't had any Internet connection in Europe. It was too expensive and no wifi at Hotels we were in!! Missed it sooooo much too!! Its crazy really when I could get free wifi in the smallest of B&Bs in the Isle of Skye!! 

So this will be a brief overview of all the above countries. I am using my dear friend, Angela's, computer and we haven't worked out how to put photos on yet so just news!! I am in Surrey staying with Angela and Derek and loving this break away from the maddening crowds of Europe and big cities!!! So miss quiet little Forcett and our beautiful gum trees!!
We raced through Germany with a stop in the Black Forest to view Cuckoo clocks. Very nice but I didn't get one----can hear my family breathing a sigh of relief!! Then on to Switzerland where I went up the Alps in a Cable car and Gondola and came down in a cog wheel train. Now those of you who know me will say---no way---as my fear of heights is so great---but I have a photo to prove it!!
Love Switzerland and we had a lovely ride in the country with horses and wagons.
Then off to Paris---another marathon in the bus!! I always love Paris so this was no surprise----such a beautiful city. Loved our ride along the Seine at twilight with all the lights coming on on the bridges and buildings.Great photos here.


Then off we went back to London. Good trip but so tiring!!! Love being with Angie and Brenda is having time with her son Tony. Angie and I went off to Hampton Court today. Loved this time ----we shared many laughs and can you believe we saw over 30 deer and stag in the Park----have great photo of this that you will see one day!!!


Off playing Whisk tonight----have no idea how but I can give it a go!!! Night all!!!
