Where are we in the world.....and no, It definately was not me that put bubbles in the water. (Did you know, dishwasing liquid makes the best bubbles)? Now Belle, just how do you know THAT?

scrapgran Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I have edited my Story page to add flowers. I used a brush from BMU Art Diary 2 & painted it on the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in N.Z Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Ooops I posted mine early as well, so flower is added now my 'story'. I'll blame the sun as its been gorgeous here the last few days so I had to stop the train and get out at that beach for a swim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hi Guys! I'm back! We had an amazing weekend in London. I am a tad concerned about all this talk of finding a pool, I do hope no one has been swimming (or adding bubbles) to our drinking water!!!!!!

ValerieT Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 9th November Today we have arrived in Florence, Italy. There is a really difficult choice for you today. Do you want to see the Boboli Gardens? What about the Palatina Gallery? Maybe the Modern Art Gallery is more your thing. There are ten different museums you can visit, the porter can arrange any tickets you require. Start a new layout with art as your inspiration. Post your layout in the Hodge Podge Gallery when you are finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Welcome back, Valerie, glad you had a nice time! I think I'd like to see the Boboli Gardens. I have no idea what it's like but I do like gardens! The photo/scene outside my window of Florence is gorgeous with the sun coming up. Where is everyone else going? I'm off to find the porter and travel brochure so I can see what the gardens are about and if I need a ticket. Anyone want to join me for breakfast first? I hear they have pumpkin pancakes as a choice today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I think the Palatina Gallery is for me. Florence has been on my bucket list for sooo long I can't pass up the chance to go and see all the old masters. Breakfast sounds good Marilyn. Meet you in the restaurant car!

CRS Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I'll join you for breakfast! I'm not sure where to visit! Lauren *might* be headed to Italy in June. She wants to go with her school but Dad isn't too keen on the idea yet. I'll be curious to hear where everyone goes and what they see!

scrapgarden Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Marilyn, count me in for breakfast. Order a coffee for me please. I think I'll visit the Uffizi. We were there in 1988 for our 30th anniversary. Time to visit again. Anyone want to join me? Anyone else notice bubbles in their water glass last night before bed?

Boatlady Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Welcome back I hope you had a great anniversary. I look forward to seeing the pictures on the super pages you make. The bubbles you see are from the bubble maker that @belis2mi brought its not from a pool. She is new on the World Tour and is adding some creative twists!!! I reworked my Story page and added a flower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Sounds good, Jane - it looks like we have a nice group to eat together. I wonder what's for breakfast this morning, those pumpkin pancakes yesterday were delicious. How was everyone's day? The gardens were beautiful. I'm still looking for that pool or whatever else might be hiding behind the scenes on this train. Anyone find anything interesting or would like to go looking around? ? We might have to do it quietly if we end up in places we shouldn't be. I didn't say that. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 10th November After travelling overnight, we have arrived in Merzouga, Morocco. Today we are going to head out on a camel safari into the Sahara desert. Don't forget your water! (let's hope Marilyn hasn't been swimming in it) Start a new layout with sand as your inspiration.

MariJ Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Uh-oh, Valerie is on to me! ? We might have to do some stealth operation trying to find or make a pool! Oh but Morocco looks lovely and I like sand! ?? I can't wait to tour around. I'm off to breakfast and will save a table for whomever would like to join me. Oh look, the restaurant car has a traditional olive and egg dish. I'm not an olive fan, but I do like eggs. Maybe there are some of those pumpkin pancakes left from yesterday? ?

Florida granny Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Oh dear, I fell asleep after breakfast yesterday and missed the Gardens. But I did get to the Uffizi. Here's my page. @scrapgarden I was thinking of you when I did my page. Did anyone else notice as we were leaving Florence that we now have some flowers on the train? I wonder where they came from?

scrapgarden Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 @Florida granny I think your must still be half asleep. There is not a link for your page. I think I saw Belle at the flower stand just before we left. Maybe...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in N.Z Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Weren't those flowers on the train from the gardens I saw a bit empty patch in the flower bed ? where there is sand there is usually water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValerieT Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 11th November Before we leave Morocco we are going to attend a bar for a night of traditional Moroccan food, drink and dancing. Okay hands up, who can dance? (not me) Add something sparkly to your sand layout. Post your layout in the Hodge Podge Gallery when you are finished.

MariJ Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Oh dear. I'm sure glad that I was no where near those flowers or I might be suspect! Hmmmm.. It sounds like a fun night but notice my hand not up. I am not a dancer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
