Scraping out the last trips from my Qantas funding, I headed
all about Europe from May to July 2013. Starting London then Cornwall for
pirate coast and moors, to Bath for Roman ruins, Northampton for the kooky
Leathercraft Museum and London trawling museums. Train to Paris, my highlight the
Rodin Museum and Musee du quai Branly, then an amazing week in the French Alps
soaking up “Aboriginal” rural France and (wow) real mountains. Train through
the Alps to Turin the home of Arte Povera where I stalked Giuseppe Penone. Over
to my heart’s home Venice for Biennale binge. Train viewing of more Alps
through Germany to another of my hearts’ home – Berlin in summer -bliss. Then all
the way back to Australia.
