The Iron monster dominates the sky The 3 arches lead the way The million dollar views round the corner The chaotic traffic flows like a river The roundabouts like rapids, still manage to flow The dodgey street sellers tout their wears The edible delights on every corner The city of lovers, a Tourists delight Continue reading Paris the city of lovers
Misadventures with Dad
Lately Dad has been enjoying his early morning bike rides and one morning I decided to join him. Little did I know that what I had instore was much more than I had bargained for.

In the past 3 days we have biked 53 kms and we have only climbed 10m (that was on a bridge over the motorway). I … Continue reading Differences
