Planes, Trains, Automobiles ...

To ensure Lexi is "legal" she has to go to a veterinarian within ten days of travel. We took her and she got her own passport this time since we are going to Britain and they require it. Imagine, a cat with a passport! How silly is that. It just shows what vaccinations she has had and when.

I now have a bicycle and need to learn how to cycle again. It's rather gaudy in colour, pink and teal, a real "girly" bike. Oh well it fits and that's all I really care about.

We had snow for a bit one morning, didn't stick or last, but again, glad of the parka.

Been "stocking" up for our return so we don't have to do an immediate shop when jet lagged. Although it won't be too bad coming back, Seville, stop in Madrid, on to Frankfurt and train to Freiburg. Short hops that is not like coming from Canada.

Christmas markets open on Monday, being exactly a month away from the day. I have to go downtown to collect that picture I mentioned so will take a quick boo.  The city is tarted up for Christmas. They use red octagonal shaped stars everywhere and sheets of tiny lights hang from the buildings. Very pretty! Interesting to see the different methods and ways they decorate here compared to Canada. The best chocolate house in the city has beautifully made Santa Clauses, Hansel and Gretel houses complete with witch. They are works of art really.

I packed the camera card reader and it is truly counterproductive to unpack so no pictures this post. We've spent hours getting ready to go and the flat ready for our partners. All good. Lexi doesn't want to be left behind so she sits on the suitcases and follows us around.

We will have sporadic WiFi while in Britain, until we get to Spain, but I promise to keep in touch as often as I can and will take more pictures to post.

Cheers, the travellers, Bx2 & Lexi Cat
