Virtual cruise Lyon to Avignon and Arles

Lucca a few years back there was a Y2 Sats paper with a photo of a crocodile on the cover.
A little girl in my class was sent absolutely, totally hysterical by it.
She had to do a different paper the next day, she was in such a state.

And we also had to plan and risk assess a trip to Twycross Zoo around her phobia

Poor little girl. No chance of her reading Roald Dahl's book then?
Having said that the highlight of the school French trips we organised was always a visit to Alligator Bay near Mont St Michel! Totally incongruous with the setting.

Talking about trips, Fanny , I'm heading off to Annecy for the day. Have been there before and loved the combination of lakeside scenery and medieval architecture. It has an Alpine vibe with lots of red geraniums to enjoy. I might even hire a little boat and take the air out on the water.

Your museum visit sounds interesting StarDreamer

I am on the funicular at the moment. I shall come back later to share my day.

The appearance Roman statues, standing in the niches carved into the rock, have caught me by surprise.

Yes Nell8 the Musée de l'imprimerie et de la communication graphique is very good. I am hoping to go back there at some time over the weekend. But there are other museums in Lyon too, so I am hoping to be able to go to some of those too before the cruise ship heads south on Monday.

Je pense que le bateau a coule!

?‍♀️In English, please!

No, the cruise ship is afloat, it is at Quai Claude Bernard in Lyon. The cruise ship is due to begin its journey southward on Monday.

What is Raymond cooking up for your evening meal?
Do you take PGs? ?

I thought the lack of activity indicated that the ship had gone down with all hands.

What is PG in this context please?

Paying Guests

Thank you for explaining PG in this context.

But why the question please?

I wonder if the captain would allow me a go on the helm. I can only ask ?

Come on Shep! Don’t be a negative Nelly!

Because mention has been made on this thread passim about the markets, planning menus, and the inimitable Raymond-be-still-my- beating-heart.
I am not a subscribing member to this cruise, but should like to come to one of the gorgeous meals to sample french cuisine at its best.
Moreover, I do not have sea legs.

Captain Birdseye? He had his own calendar

Yes, certainly, you are very welcome.

The cruise ship is moored in Lyon until Monday morning, when we are due to move southward.

However, we are due to be moored up somewhere well before evening dinner each day, so if you can make it to where we are moored up you will be very welcome to join us for dinner on as many days as you choose to do so.

May I join for the odd meal too please? Well, not 'odd' odd, I hope ... Occasional.

Fanny
I’ll have a shave before I join ?

Thank you SD, you're most kind.
I am expecting hoping for an invitation to the Captain's Table...
Don't want to cause havoc in the kitchen, or whatever it's called, so I will keep it simple and just have what you're having.

Sounds more like Captain Pugwash out there to me☹️

I'm extremely jealous, ixion. I would like an invitation too. I shall sulk, I warn you.
