Hi all,

This is an update to let you know our recent travels:

Madrid

Met up with everyone on the tour, with some welcome drinks.
Then the next day we went on an excursion to Toldeo and saw a synogogue, church and a steel factory. Got some nice jewellry with two tone 23/24 carat gold. (Heidi)
The weather here was very hot in deed with 38 degrees. Good old air-conditioning.

Barcelona

We visited Monserrat and then walked around and saw Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, which was a church that has been under construction for over 100 years and should be completed in the next 30 years. Apparently this church has been constructed by donations from the public.

Aux de Provence and Les Baux

Now we are back in France again. We visted a Cathedral if St. Trophime and saw an old Roman Arena and lost one of our party members. It took over an hour to locate her and gues who found her??
You guessed it Chris came to her rescue, she was so relieved to see him as he was a familiar face.

Saint Tropez

This morning we took a boat ride to Saint Tropez and saw how the other half lived. It's exactly like the woman's magazines back home, billions of dollars of leisure craft in the marina's.

Best be off now as we don't want to be late for the bus as having people late makes our schedule out and they even threaten to cancel some of the excursions.

Cheers,
Heidi and Chris
