Willkommen

Peregrinate (v.) [per-i-gruh-neyt] -
To travel from place to place, or from one country to another, especially on foot; hence, to sojourn in foreign countries.

Welcome to my travel blog, voyagers and voyeurs alike!

I've started this page up because my family and I are departing on a trip around Europe next week, and I have been threatened with ostracism unless I blog about it aaaaaall. This is a new approach; I am awfully slack about keeping diaries and accounts of my doings, so perhaps typing will make the difference.

You can expect lots of often-nonsensical rambling; a handful of pictures, and maybe even some blinding flashes of original thought (but don't hold your breath on that last count). I will try to write something in my hardcover journal each day, even if internet access means I have to backdate posts once I type them up.

If you're embarking upon reading at the same time as I am writing, then I hope you enjoy my blog! Even if you've been reading this months down the track, and this is the last post you've come to... then I hope you've found something new, or funny, or interesting hidden among my rantings and ravings. All comments are very welcome, whether you're a friend or a stranger.

Danke schoen.
I will be following this blog to see what you Ozzies are up to.
Let me know if you need any tips on where to go.
(But definitely go to Mont St Michel!)

Eljen said...

@DN: So far, so good! :P

@Rene: I will suss out our itinerary, and might ask you for tips in the countries we're clueless about. *Grins*... and Mont St Michel is definitely on the list. The photo in the header was one I took when I was 13, and I'm looking forward to seeing the place again now I'm old enough to appreciate it better.

I want every detail.
And then I will come pounce on you and your family the moment you get home, stitches or no.

Also I thought I should inform you that if you're in Paris you're going to Espace Dali whether you like it or not. I can't remember if France was included in your itinerary. I know you were there a few years ago.


...

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. It's for your own good.

Heading with your family hmmm? So did they organise this or was this a plot of your devising

Eljen said...

I shall handcraft each detail lovingly, dearest c-turtle... I so enjoyed your emails when you went, that I ought to return the favour.

Also, as soon as I knew we were going to Paris, I remembered all those photos you showed me from the Dali museum. I'm set on the idea. :D

Eljen said...

Oh, Cal - we've all been scheming, and mum has harnessed that to do the actual organising.

Cami said...
