I want to start off autumn by sharing more of my big news. The trip I have coming up is....
Show content :cheer:SOUTH OF FRANCE:cheer:!
It's looking like an elaborate itinerary covering a huge portion of Provence. I will be touring through Nice, Monaco, Saint-Tropez, and Marseille in a two-week timeframe. I have many race sites I will be visiting and I'll also be taking in the thrill of some activities I have been eyeing to do there! Also, this trip will be finished up a few days before the Entry-Exit System across the EU goes live so I'm feeling bittersweet to receive one of the last French stamps for my passport. History in the making right here.
Will be going in late October into early November during the cooler months and can't wait to share vacation pics when I return home for the holidays! :kisses

Would love to see the pictures you took in this area. I've always had this idea randomly float back up in my mind from time to time to visit Krabi or Ha Long Bay, Vietnam from TAR10 in the future. So lucky to be able to have 4 months of traveling!

I'm quite late with posting these photos... but about three weeks ago (in mid-September), I was lucky enough to visit Sydney for an overnight work trip (which I do quite often these days). I had a couple of work colleagues with me who had never been to Sydney previously and they wanted to do a little bit of sightseeing on our only night in the city after our dinner... so of course I took them to as many TAR places in Sydney that I could think of, which was beneficial to the both of us - they got to see the most well-known landmarks and I got to see some TAR locations! :funny: :lol:
All of these Photos are to do with TAR2's visit during Legs 8 & 9 and I do apologize in advance if some of the shots didn't turn out as well as I had hoped... it was raining quite severely while we were on our walk, but we stuck it out! :funny: :lol:
My first photo is of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, where the Racers did the BridgeClimb Sydney in Leg 9
Next photo is of the Sydney Opera House, where Racers found the Australian slang Roadblock clue in Leg 8
While the final photo is of Archibald Fountain, where Racers needed to find “a true-blue ankle biter”
I also passed the Lloyd Rees Fountain in Martin Place (where Racers needed to find “the surfie in the lairy dacks”), the Captain Cook Statue in Hyde Park (where Racers needed to find “the Sheila in the Aussie Cozzie”), Circular Quay (where teams needed to find “The Bushie” and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Leg 8’s Pit Stop), but unfortunately, it was too dark then for me to take any photos :'( I imagine that I'll have about 2 or 3 more trips up to Sydney by the end of the year and with daylight saving now in effect in some parts of Australia, I'll hopefully be able to provide those photos for you, along with Mrs Macquarie's Chair that TAR Asia 1 teams visited
All in all, I had a very successful night walk around Sydney and I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Yes, I had a very sore inner thigh the next day, but it was still well worth it! :funny: :lol:
