Paris

Notre Dame with the sunset.
Olivier as one of four pillars in the picture. The picture looked better in my head than on paper. I am putting it up because it is the only picture I have of Olivier.

Arc de Triomphe with some parade underneath; there were hundreds of cops gathered under the Arc. You can see the blue uniforms in the picture.

Marloes and Liege

Looking over Liege, this hill was a fine way to see this plat pays.
Marloes' idea was that Belgium is very different from the Netherlands even though they are so close to each other. On the Saturday we visited Maastricht, and left, the next day, for Liege. Hearing French was a big change, but there were others; the cafe life, for one, seemed a bit like you'd expect in the South of France. Based around a cobblestone square lined with platane like trees.
Here's the good picture I told you about, Marloes. Admit it's nice... Is it you or the buildings?

Krakow

Marika, my (great) hostess. Hmm, I am having a doubt. This may have been in Warsaw...
It's huge and it's made of bricks. Why not?
The cathedral in the castle.

Warsaw

Warsaw is not all pretty. Here's a picture that is probably more representative of the town than the next two.


One of the main squares in the popular area of Warsaw.

The fountain in the centre of the other popular square.
