Checklists complete and the group all present and ready, it was time to take off from Adelaide to Europe for this year's Connecting Spirits tour. Many thanks to all who are following our journey across a variety of social media platforms and also for your many messages along the way. If we don't reply to them immediately, please understand the demands of group travel: every day is packed and add to that the inevitable recovery from jet lag in the first few days, please know that we are grateful for all of your support and interest.
The flights went well with no major dramas and at 2.00 pm Paris time , we eventually landed in France. With a delay in Dubai plus a bit of convoluted walk to our mini bus and driver Paul Dennington, we were off and running! The driver to Amiens took a couple of hours and with a slick check-in , showers and pre- dinner drink, it was time for dinner at our favourite restaurant Oz'Orange. So with yummy duck dishes, creme brulees and a couple of house wines under our belts by 9.30 tiredness was really setting in. Today the focus of our tour starts in earnest with six soldiers being commemorated: Walter Kirlew, David Coulter, Arthur Walker, Miles Beevor, William East and William Simpson will have their stories shared and recorded.
