Paris, Armenia, and Angers

We leave this weekend for a tour of Armenia, book-ended by time in France.

Armenia will be the "missing link", for us, in the Silk Road.  In any case, it is a historic, landlocked, mountain country, and the first country, after Rome to adopt Christianity as its national religion.  When our favourite travel company had a 9 day tour, we jumped at the chance to see Armenia without having to do heaps of preliminary research.  So watch this space.

But first we have four days in Paris, to recover from jet-lag and see some sights we have missed - the restored Notre Dame, Basilica de Saint Denis, the Police Museum and lunch at a Paris bistro.  What's not to like!

But so traumatised was I by the brazen pick-pocketing of Kin Mun's wallet on our last trip to Paris, I have been preparing.  This is one of my strategies - internal pockets in my jeans - inside-out view below.

Let's see if it works!
