OK folks, I've got loads of photo's of Buddhist temples which I'm happy to post if you're into Buddism.
But that concludes our visit to China.
We left Wuhan just in time before the outbreak of the Chinese Coronavirus epidemic which is highly contagious. However we have since our return, been informed by the Muslim council of Europe that everyone is welcome to shelter in any their mosques, food(halal) and bedding will be provided for the duration of the epidemic.
If you've been following our posts over the last few years, I thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart because without 'you' our posts would be worthless, and the considerable money we spent travelling apart from our own enjoyment , wasted.
We've posted our various travels during 2019 as we've tried to 'spend the kids inheritance' visiting and seeing local traditions, hence the name of the post.
Question ? Would I visit China again ?
Absolutely not as long as I'm above the sod, an authoritive, totalitarian controlling regime absolutely contrary to my WASP freedom loving persona.
It's time for me to step back and not 'hog' the forum and let others post of their adventures which I will follow avidly, I will of course continue to contribute to the wonderful Trawler Forum on any technical issues if I can be of help to any other member.
What Now ?
Myself and the admiral are renovating a 300 year old house in the South of France to make a few dollars, when that's finished were going having some gentle cruising to Collouire down near the Spanish border, one of the prettiest (a favourite with the artists) ports in France, a few drinks in the sun, some tasty tucker, a few glasses of wine and some lovin in the siesta.
What more could a man wish for ?
Have you ever hear of Aigues Morte ?
Its the port where in the middle ages the Christian Knights (crusaders) left France to fight the scourge of Islam.
Wanna know more ? Let me know and I'll post for you as I cruise along the Mediterranean coast towards the Italy.
