Excitedly we left for France’s second biggest city, Lyon, a trip cobbled together in the last moments as pre arranged plans gushed away without prior warning. Cruising in a Citron C3 towards to the city felt so right and as we happened on to the streets of the inner city we were greeted with a magnificent sight of the cathedral, known as the Notre-Dame de Fourvière Basilica, which was purchased on top of the hill presiding over Lyon’s town centre in the valley.

I’ve touched a few times on the importance of water in some of my posts, but never does preservation of the environment become more apparent more desperate and more important when you visit somewhere of such natural beauty. Cheju (Jesu) is a wondrous place and am very sure it will appear in subsequent pictures of the week.
