Journeying upriver in the Rain Wilds
Hopefully these ones are more to people's tastes!
So I returned to Grenoble after 9 days in Krakow. I started reading Robin Hobb's latest book when I got to Krakow and was reading just over a chapter a day. On the Sunday after I got back to France, I sensed that I was going to finish it that day and I wanted to make the most of it. So I cranked up google maps and found the closest bit of green to me.
I didn't expect this.
It was gorgeous. A little area of absolute peace. The small river and shady trees made it an ideal place to read about Alise and Thymara and Leftrin and Sedric and the rest as they journeyed into the Rain Wilds. Well, I'd imagine that the Hoh rain forest would have been better but this was possibly the best place France could offer me.
I sat on a tree trunk which bent out across the river and formed a shape perfect for reclining on. I felt at risk of falling in (or dropping my camera or iPod in...) but it was so worth it.
Odd thing is, at noon on a Sunday, the place was utterly deserted.
