Europe 2010

Stephen and I landed in Paris on the 5th August , 24 degrees outside....it was so exciting! I have never been to Paris before,  armed with my Canon EOS 3 film camera and 50mm lens, I documented everything I saw.

A gorgeous florist in St Germain

We noticed all of these locks on the pedestrian bridge, they had names and dates inscribed to declare eternal love for one another....so romantic.

Sipping on a french Rose in our apartment, Monmarte.

Texture......I'm obsessed with it!

I loved this shop window display.

We hired a Mini and drove from Paris all the way to Croatia......what a journey...via the Swiss Alps, Monte Blanc , across northern Italy where we had a brief night in Verona before making our the down the Adriatic Coast. It was breathtaking.

 Brela, Croatia

Perfect aqua blue waters

Dubrovnik, The Old City

 Night fisherman...tuna catch, Brela.

Beautiful Adriatic

We ate this fish......locally known as a "frog" fish....

 Split

The old Roman ruins in Split

  
Our journey across the Adriatic to Ancona, Italy

Good morning Italy!

We stayed in a little private hotel just outside of Genoa....

the Cinque Terre coastline.....so rustic...

 My eternal love xx

Then back to France..........we stayed at Le Prieuré in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon

I have never seen a more beautiful hotel in my life.

                

Wandering through Villeneuve-lès-Avignon

 Les Beaux de Provence 
L'Oustau de Baumanière, incredible Chateau in the rocky hills of Les Beaux

 Les Beaux, France

then finally  back to Paris for my birthday.....

I took these photos of the Eiffel Tower with a $3 plastic camera...loving the grain and the 'old world' colours.

I'm looking very chuffed standing outside Notre Dame

it is a bit of a nerdy shot captured by Stephen but I like it!

Paris, what can I say...x
