I would so love to do that again, although the boat trip looks absolutely lovely as well! It's great that you were able to ride bikes.

I certainly agree with you on the cooking part of your trip too, we took a canal trip way back in 2004 and it was a lovely experience. Don't you just want to go back right now?<br /><br />Shane, I want to thank you for your kind comment about my cat, Gigi. I appreciate it so much. I also thank you for the hug and aroha. One of my grandmothers came over from Christchurch when she was 8 (on a ship ;) and loved that she was from NZ<br />Thank YOU, Shane.<br />xo~TracieTracie~MyPetiteMaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115515570349062556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-49804622648604942282010-09-24T11:12:24.407+12:002010-09-24T11:12:24.407+12:00Time goes so fast...what a beautiful place.
