Brighton c'est fini and it was back to London for me. Steve lent me his Nikon DSLR to practise with so I could get used to manual settings as my old point-and-shoot lacked the capacity. I was keen to try out a few long exposure shots at night where road traffic produces ribbons of light. I was starting to peer into a whole new world, right behind the lens.

Day 421 Lyon
It was time for Ella to depart, she was heading for Germany and would spent some time in Austria with family she was reconnecting with; it's very common for first and second generation Australians to grow up without seeing their cousins or extended family whose parents stayed in their home country. It was a wonderful opportunity for her to know them.
Day 420 Lyon
Day 419 Lyon
Ella and I rested for almost the entire day. I listened to a lot of podcasts whilst Ella planned out the next few weeks and where to visit.
The highlight for me was fondue. Hot cheese in different forms makes me happy. To see an entire pot of molten goodness and have the aroma in the air certainly raises the spirits.
