Planning Stages - Early May


Mark and I leave for Paris at the end of May for a 6 week tour of Paris, Norway (3 weeks), Vienna, Cesky Krumlov, Munich and home via Singapore.   There are no travelling companions this time - what have we done to scare them away ? ! *.  Nothing, I believe; timing is everything in life and our times didn't match.

Most of the planning has been completed (much to my horror).  However, common sense tells me that it's not advisable to arrive in Paris in peak tourist season without a booking.  Hence a new type of travel accommodation - AirBnB has crept into our schedule.  AirBnB offer an entire apartment albeit someone's home.  Firstly in Paris, then Bergen and Vienna.  We are looking forward to this new experience.  The remainder of our time we will stay in good old fashioned hotels.

We will hire a car in Norway and drive from Bergen northwards to Trondheim where we fly to the Lofoten Islands in the Arctic Circle.  

What inspired us to undertake such an intrepid tour of the Northern Hemisphere?  Well, I blame Kitty and Graeme.  Their stunning photos and stories of scenic beauty were so convincing that we had to outlay good money to prove them   ..............  right.
