Janice Eames' European Vacation |
 Janice |
 A little report on my holiday to Europe:
Originally I was going to go alone, but Stephen decided to go with me. We saw wonderful things when we were away and visited 6 countries: UK, Holland, Germany, Belgium, France and Singapore. Our favourite places were the Cotswolds in England and Monschau in Germany. We stayed with a friends of mine, just out of London. We had tea with another friend and his fiancée one evening. They got married a week after we left! 
We met Dutch friends of mine in Brussels, at the military museum. It is a fabulous museum. I’d also arranged to meet the curator there. We stayed 3 nights with our Dutch friends and they took us to a wonderful aviation museum in Germany, in a town called Hermeskeil. We visited 7 aircraft collections, on our travels, altogether!
We thought there were some beautiful buildings in Paris, but found it a very dirty place. We really enjoyed the Le Bourget Aviation Museum…of course! I bought a pair of very impractical, frivolous, snazzy, real black suede, high heels in a tiny, crammed shoe shop in Paris – and they only cost 8 Euros (about $13)! We had a good trip on Eurostar back to London.
Our flight to Singapore was tiring, but we had a nice overnight stay there and enjoyed it. When we got to Adelaide, we were glad to be back home in our own nice, small city!
I didn’t have too much trouble with jet-lag. I was overtired and a bit woozy, with a ‘funny’ tummy, but I get like that with lack of sleep anyway, and two out of the last three nights of the trip I only had 2 – 3 hours sleep – so it was to be expected. I went to work the day after getting back and worked all week and enjoyed a big sleep-in the next Saturday. Stephen’s sleep patterns were out of whack and he had big sleep-ins Sat and Sun after, plus he didn’t have to work the day after getting back.
Overall we had a great trip. I brought back numerous model horses for my collection, 2 model aeroplanes and 2 aeroplane pins and many other items. My suitcase was very full - I was glad I bought a wheelie one!
