Last week in our sense of paradise

Met n opwindende week agter die rug, kan ek se met n swaar hart en knop behoorlik ge'jam' in my keel. Dis nooit maklik om te groet nie. Ek het uiteindelik n paar fototjies van die mense hier gekry. Nou kan julle sien hoe gelukkig ons was. Rudi het sulke goeie vriende gemaak. Kon nie vir beter vra nie.

Annecy

Wednesday morning Rudi and I jumped in the car. Blessed with beautiful scenery all round we headed in the direction of Geneve, and got off in Annecy. Not a long drive for such a beautiful town...or city, I'm not sure, but it is huge. Not what you would expect from a cute name like Annecy, right?

So we put on our jackets and in my case Rudi's humungous bomber jacket and set about finding a lunch spot... and guess what we found? Sushi!

Rudi snacking... always snacking

So we found a sushi restaurant. Rudi was puzzled with the complimentary miso soup. "is dit feta?"

But after giving the chef a scolding, almost 'Grinch'-like stare, the sushi made a quick trip to our table.

no likey...
