Impressions of Giverny

Back in March we had tickets to Paris to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately the Eurostar had other plans, and cancelled our holiday. Thus we broke our tradition of having an anniversary in a different city each year.

Undaunted, we rebooked for the May long weekend.

We had Bridie's new digital camera, so the first stop was the unicorn tapestries that we have visited many times.

But we also wandered into the Musée de l’Orangerie. Where they have a huge display of Monet's Les Nymphéas

Captivated by the water lilies, we decided to visit Monet's garden in Giverny, where they were painted.

We battled the French overcrowded train system, rode pushbikes and walked for ever. But we were rewarded with a pretty little town and garden. The return wasn't so successful, as the 6pm return train was overcrowded too. So we were stuck in the town of Vernon, on a virtual public holiday, for 3 hours until the next train. We resorted to a bar and a pizza restaurant to pass the time - even watching the French presidential election.

All up a great day in the sun. One that our feet will long remember.

Photos on our photosite

sucked into Facebook

No bandwagon would be complete without me jumping on it. I embraced Linkedin, but now I have a new toy: Facebook

In case you haven't tried it out yet, it is a social networking site. And you get to waste vast amounts of time just looking for friends, their photos, and sending silly messages. Fantastic.

Anyone would think I was avoiding my MBA studies.

Anyhoo, you can find me in there - among 36 other namesakes.
