We must add that to our list! ;o) When we were flying to Vienna, flying near to the city we fly over fields of bright gold rapeseed... glorious site. You are right about ordering on the Continent. We had a time getting used to the tipping in Vienna. But how good the food. :o) LOVED seeing all where you've been, Jeanie.

I'm a planner. My brother is NOT. He travels quite a bit. About an hour before he decides to stop, he makes a call and that's where he lands.

You know, there are rapeseed fields just a few mins from our home... and I learned that they were first developed by Canadians. But yours here with the windmill is something else, another character. Magnificent colours here, Jeanie. <br /><br />Also, how I admire you chose to travel 'on a whim.' That will never happen to me... since my other half is a Type A planner. We always have every single hotel booked months in advance before we set off. So you see, I'll never taste the freedom and excitement of travelling 'laissez faire' style. ;) <br /><br />I look forward to your upcoming posts.Artihttp://rippleeffects.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-84984735638465950392012-06-06T22:36:27.879-04:002012-06-06T22:36:27.879-04:00What beautiful pictures!

I'm wondering at what time you photographed the streets of Malo, they're empty. I only know them packed during holiday seasons.

You took in so much in one day that I am just amazed at you stamina. <br /><br />Like you, I also prefer to wing it and find a place when I get to where I decide to go. I find that much more interesting, but also know I might have a better experience is I planned better. I just find it hard to plan ahead when traveling. I'm not that structure. My husband is, so we always have a plan which I sometimes find limiting and boring. <br /><br />That meal was worth the trip!Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-46296511331896254512012-06-06T07:32:36.537-04:002012-06-06T07:32:36.537-04:00That's for sharing another installment of your...That's for sharing another installment of your trip!
