Next Stops: France and the Czech Republic


Next month I will leave for France. I leave Australia on the 2nd of September and fly to Bangkok. On the 6th I leave for Frankfurt, then Toulouse. Then I head off by train to find my friends Fritha and Ian in Argentat.

On the 15th of September I leave France for Prague where I will stay with some other friends, Jeanie and Margaret, but I will probably head off from time to time to see other parts of the Czech Rebublic. My friends in France are leaving for Prague on the same day (the 15th) and so I hope we will all meet up in some nice restaurant. I'm sure the women, as they are all Australians, would like to pay.

I haven't packed or prepared anything yet but I have another week. Of course, I have been to my Travel Agent Graeme and he has prepared an Itinerary for me.

It will be good to see my friends again; Ian and Fritha have a new house that I haven't seen yet and Jeanie and I haven't finished an interesting discussion on the role of mere males in a woman's world.

I look forward to finding out what Kafka thought about these things.
