The Final voyage

You can talk for several years about a dream and stay at the same point. You can also dream and try to make it come true. I think that is what we did. After many years of working, fighting, struggling we made the last voyage. I sounds sad, but it isn't. A dream came true. Troughout the different posts I will give an overview of what daily life is for two tired people. We packed all our stuff, loaded into a container and started the big trip to the South of France.

A lorry made the trip easier for daily purposes and a wee Bentley followed gently for daily trips. The first day we drove about 520km and arrived at a sign who was promising. Auberge du Bonheur, you must admit a wonderfull name.

You expect an old fashioned auberge with the typical French cuisine. So finally you meet the owner and it seems to be a Chinese gentleman. The whole staff was Chinese. But anyhow we will give it a try. Ordering a nice bottle of wine, and a starter "shrimpsalade and a Seaman's plate"  for the the lady. Right there you see the Chinese master chef , three baby shrimps and a bottle of sauce, for the lettuce. The fisherman's plate looks great but where is the fish.  We live at risk so we ordered a steak, medium done. It was melting away, great quality for a fair price. Finally we hit for the room.

Our dogs took a stroul in the woods near the promises and whitey saw his dinner. A yellow cat wandering in front of the terrace and the dog tought I'm going on hunt, master said one bite one kill. Lucky for the cat she was a lot faster then the dog. The morning after we had a bright sunlight and heard lots of noise outside. Just have a look and for a second I tought I was back in Nam. Several Chinese labourers run around to dig a pool at the promises. I asked their permission to take pictures and the laughed and smiled happily

These people are happy they work in very hot temparature and they stay on smiling.
