Narbonne

Narbonne is a town near the Mediterranean coast in France. Its claim to fame is being home to the first Roman road in Gaul – which you can still see and stand on.

Design Tourism

The exhibit was thrilling but then I love furniture design and history. Something delightful about seeing the original chairs and tables that have now become iconic.

Saint Etienne however was not the prettiest French town. It felt functional and had all you could need living locally. It did not feel small either. The buildings and tower blocks appeared to stretch on for some distance.

Vienne

Vienne is a town half an hour south of Lyon. We visited during the summer months arriving and leaving by train. Vienne is one of many towns that line the River Rhône and form a strip of commuter friendly locations to live.

Glenfinnan Viaduct

We passed over the Glenfinnan Viaduct on our journeys to and from Mallaig in Scotland. This is the impressive engineering feat used in the Harry Potter films.

Mallaig for Fish and Chips

We promised ourselves a fish and chip meal during our trip the Scottish coastline. We were not disappointed by the meal in Mallaig; hot, filling, and just what we hoped for.

Fort William

The weather was not perfect but for us that did not matter. Despite raining on one of the days we stayed, the remaining days were fine and we managed to get the walking in that we wanted.

Train to Fort William

We took the the train from Glasgow to Fort William. The journey was easy and pretty.

Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art

We enjoyed a particularly lazy morning in Glasgow. After enjoying a coffee, we headed to the central Gallery of Modern Art for a couple of hours.

Tiger

The unexpected face of a tiger caught my eye as we travelled towards Glasgow. I can not now remember where along the journey I noticed the haircut staring back at those behind its owner.
