Day 24, 25 and 26 in France

La Tour Eiffel

Thursday afternoon

Sadly, the other day when we were at Versailles, I dropped my beloved Nikon camera and broke it. But with every cloud there is the silver lining. I only pouted for a few minutes and realized that for the remaining 7 days of the trip I would be travelling light and using my iPhone only. I am embracing it.

Above and below are some (iPhone) pictures of our day in Paris with my sister and Paolo and Max before Glen and I took the train to Provence where we are doing a 4 day cycling trip.

Thursday evening

Tonight we are in the small town of Uzés after cycling from Avignon. Along the way we saw some really amazing landscapes. Vineyards and olive tree groves and small towns with beautiful churches. Glen is already asleep beside me and I will soon be joining him. We cycled many, many kilometres today but our bikes held up and the weather was perfect. Here are a few photos from the last couple of days. Next stop Arles!

  1. Having dropped and broken a favourite piece of photo equipment recently, I feel your pain.
    The trip looks awesome, even through the lens of a “lesser camera”

    Ouch! Sorry about your camera! Looking forward to your review on Arles! I seem to recall my niece saying it was one of her favourite places.

    Hi cousin! Sorry to hear about the Nikon. I remember dropping mine on the tarmac in Huaraz, Peru just as I was boarding a teeny weeny plane to fly to Lima. Fright can do that! Hope your camera can be repaired. These iPhone shots are perfectly marvelous! Just like you.

  4. So sorry about the camera, beautiful pictures comes from an artistic eye – not an expensive camera. You have just brilliantly proved that. I am enjoying your photo journey.

  5. oh Julie, sorry about your camera. that must have felt awful but yes the iPhone is so much lighter. brilliant pictures. You are back now I am sure and I wish you a speedy recovery from jetlag. yes I agree with Sarolta, nice sandals 😉
