Walk along the river

Walking along the river (Cam?) in the rain.

Achensee

After driving for what felt like forever, from northern France through Switzerland Germany and Austria, we finally arrived in idyllic Pertisau, a tiny town on the shore of the Achensee, a spectacular mountain lake in Tirol (Austria).

It was so beautiful there, and it looks like how I imagine some parts of New Zealand might look like.

Romanshorn

We stopped on the way from France to Austria in a Swiss town called Romanshorn. This is my lunch, it was smokey and salty and good. The waitress didn't know the English word but said the smoked fish was 'Felchen' and that it was a lake fish. Rosenhorn is by a huge lake called Lake Constance. Thats my mum stealing some fish on the left.






I want to see more of Switzerland, I was only there for a couple of hours.

Brittany: Another sundown

These are pictures from the last night we spent in Brittany. It was sad to leave, it is such a calm, beautiful place.

Brittany: Fruits de Mer

This is where I ate dinner (the place on the far right)...



...and this is what I ate. Have you ever seen anything like it?




In France, you have to work for your food. They give you a nutcracker and you get your hands really dirty trying to break into all those thick hard shells to find food within.

The best was the crab, but you have to be careful because they leave its weird grey mushy brain bits in and they are just lurking there if your not careful. The crabs arms and legs are the safest bet.

Brittany: French birds

French seagulls....

Brittany: First impressions

Road trip: Ferry to France

These are some pictures from the ferry to France (Plymouth to Roscof) which I caught with my family on Thursday. It was a very nice ferry and I ate an okay Salad Nicoise and slept while the waves rocked the boat gently. The weather on deck was magnificent, and the light was so bright.
