I'm glad you had this bit of a getaway.<br /><br />I've been a much better poster than blog visitor these days. (Wrapping up the Netherlands tour). The posts are easy to work ahead on but life has come in the way of daily blog visiting. So, catching up and so enjoying your times!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-9629063692050433802012-10-12T02:39:52.270+01:002012-10-12T02:39:52.270+01:00Lovely.

Yes, GB, and actually when I last went in the local museum in Lucerne, they had quite a lot of humorous stuff about all the rain you get there. Ho, ho, how we laughed I must say, as we searched for a brolly shop. So I'm packing a mac and will be crossing my fingers. <br /><br />Yes, JOanne, you are spot on about this. Some places in the world are still a bit like that, sadly. <br /><br />Karen, you are right that it is hard to switch off. I find myself mentally making notes. But the nice thing about a HOLIDAY is that on holiday I can sit and read if I want to and not feel the need to rush around like a blue **sed fly which is what I do when wearing the travel writer hat. Of course I enjoy rushing around and seeing everything but it's soooo nice to sit by the pool in the sun sometimes...... <br /><br />LLCool Joe, it was perfect except for the guy with the telephoto lens who was camped in a nearby walnut tree, but I don't know how you guessed. (Hope it wasn't YOU???)<br /><br />Jo, you are right, it had no proper internet connection although we occasionally got a drift of signal. Not that I checked much.
