My Holiday Travels - Part 2

A lovely country indeed is France
especially Menton down on the Med
everything makes you want to go back
such flowers, colors, and beauty all said

Also on the Med is the Riviera
a super little town called Agay
Its capital Paris is truly magical
so much to see either by night or day

My fav country is truly Switzerland
It's capital Geneva majestically true
staying by Vevay on the lakeside
highlight sailed on Lake Geneva so blue

Its reformation history is marked by its wall
the great reforming mark so grand
there stand Farel, Calvin, Beza, and Knox
men of godliness to righteous stand

We took the train up to the mountains
Jungfrau was the one so high a peak
reaching this beauty by cable car
all covered in white what a treat!

The longest trip was to South Africa
to travel along the beautiful garden route
visiting George, Knysna, and Mossel Bay
also to table mountain at Cape Town by day

You came to South Africa, and you didn't phone Johannesburg - unforgivable! Beautiful descriptions of every country but, it does sound as if you had a world tour almost, a really unforgettable time! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thanks Jennifer, This was not one big holiday, it was various holidays we had in France (3 times), Switzerland (4 times), and SA (twice), We didn't know you or PS before we were in SA or I would have called on you! in fact, we were only in J'burg airport for a few hours before flying up to the garden route. Blessings, Gordon
