Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.

Colouring In
How many new French Departments could we visit in one day, without being totally silly about it ?
Valmondois
Can we finish the big series today ?
Jouy-le-Comte
Yet another new record for finds in a single day.

A day in the French capital whilst taking a bit of a break from a very, very busy week of geocaching.

Tokyo Tourism
Looking down from the heavens, and then looking up to them.
Big Sight, Big Site
The Longest Day, but without John Wayne.
Sagrada Familia
Today was the day for going home. We got side-tracked on the way to the airport though.
Packetty-Pack
Today was a day of preparing ourselves for the inevitable end of the holiday.

Splashy Splashy
A wet day, but in an enjoyable way.
Pedralta
A lot of geocaches, and a bit of dentistry.
Monastic
Today was the planned day for a bit of monk-on-a-mountain action. I'd been here before, in 1973, but that was a long time ago.
Mucho de Nada
Every holiday has a day like this. The one where we don't do anything.
Ropey
This was our mid point, and the girls celebrated by climbing some trees.
