Thank you for the “Kitchen” recommendation, just downloaded for my holiday 😊
I hope you like it!
Happy Birthday to your mom. Those were scenic hikes. Glad you enjoyed your trip.
Thank you! I told her. It was so beautiful and so nice to get away for a few days
Really enjoyed “our” little holiday..thanks for taking us along.
Absolutely ❤️
Such a beautiful little holiday, I loved your tours (except for that religious commercial hype). I have been to Lourdes ages ago, hardly remembered anything. But an interesting fact: the "holy" water of Lourdes contains the element germanium, which can be bought for the holistic treatment of cancer. I know that from my neighbour's researches, who is suffering from stage 4 cancer, it helps him a lot to keep the little of energy and focus which is left (his "nice" GP told him recently he should look for a funeral home)
Oh wow. I did not know that.
It was great to spend some days in the mountains and just hike and enjoy being outside.
Every pilgrimage town gets like this. It’s the souvenir profit…it was also a stop on the Camino to St. Jacques too. Pilgrim customers attract business. I bought a rosary for 1 euro in Rome from a Pakistani guy on the street lol. Business as usual. Nice that the religious sites were free. The Pyrenees are so lovely. I lived in Catalunya many years ago and often visited the Spanish Pyrenees side of the border.
Yes. I love the Pyrenees. I just experienced them as a child and going back was so nice.
And I guess you’re right with the whole pilgrimage thing. Hahaha
Breath book is fascinating I read it several years ago and admired the author to go through the research study himself 😤. Beautiful places glad you didn’t get caught in flood.
It's so stunning. Such beautiful mountains. I definitely want to do more hiking there.
Interesting to see Lourdes though it is a pity it is so commercialized. The main street leading to the Vatican from the Ponte Saint Angelo in Rome is like that too. Your accommodation looked nice. Too bad the weather did not cooperate, but you adapted to it well.
Yes, these places are just really odd. But I loved being in the mountains, it's so stunningly beautiful.
Such lovely scenery, thanks for including us 😁 it really is so beautiful!
My pleasure 😊
I love the mountains 😊
Oh yes. There is just something so majestic and mystical about mountains
The Pyrenées are so beautiful, I drove through them years ago coming into Toulouse from Spain, and another time went to Foix and some other areas. Some of it reminds me of Annecy (in the French alps), but more lush with greenery, even though it's quite green in Annecy. Looks like you saw a lot of beautiful places, and had a great time!
It was really beautiful. I enjoyed it so much. I have to say that I did almost prefer it to the French alps but that is very personal.
@@ledemi-chateau I can see how that would be possible. My husband was from Annecy, and his mother lived there too, so it holds a special place in my heart.
If you need two books when you go away with your boyfriend somethings wrong????????
Hahaha do you think so? I don’t think. In the end I just managed to read a few pages of one and just decided to take NP.
