Less than a week to go!!

We should probably start thinking about what we need to take with us. We leave on Monday and have a few busy days between now and then. First stop is Singapore for a couple of nights, then on to Heathrow. Both flights over are during the day, arriving in Singapore around 4:30 pm on Monday. The Singapore Stopover package includes a transfer to the hotel – makes it easy. We arrive in London on Wednesday, around 7:00pm. Our French registered, tax free Peugeot 208 should be waiting for us there.

Here are jumbled maps of how we have roughly planned our route. UK, then Netherlands south to France, then back to Paris and Eurostar to London.

Lots of places that we’d like to visit, but we’ll have to miss some.

We have a few highlights: Catching up with Di, Barry and Co in Dover, Canal boat in England, spending time with Joan & John in South West France, a couple of nights in Chamonix France, a couple of nights near the Matterhorn Switzerland, seeing Ursula and Erich near Ulm Germany, almost a week in Pars and 4 nights in London. Along the way there are canal related visits, National Trust properties, beautiful villages, perhaps the odd (although hopefully not too odd) coffee stops and perhaps a local wine or 2.

Stay tuned for the next post from Singapore.

  1. Have a fantastic trip. We got home on Sunday and when we left the weather in the UK was very warm. Hope it stays that way for you, especially on a narrow boat.
