Robyn's Wanderings

Rome, Italy

The time has come that the days start waning early (well if you’re in the Northern hemisphere), TV’s turn-on early and mornings arrive even faster! Have no fear, our Wanderer Nicola, has some sets from around the world that can entertain you on these dark nights.

“Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu’un long discours“.

It was Napoleon Bonaparte who gave us these words of wisdom, meaning “A good sketch is better than a long speech”. I’m trying to avoid the adage “a picture is worth a thousand words”, which is a phrase we’ve all thrown into a conversation at one time or another. Nevertheless, I shall steal the premise.

Crikvenica, Croatia

This weekend’s theme? Sunsets. The sun is setting on the month of October, and Daylight Saving Time approaches. The sun will soon set on autumn as we head into winter coziness. In the Northern Hemisphere, at least.

Thar Desert, India

While on the camel safari above, in India, we spent the night under the starts in the desert. I remember clearly that our safari coincided with my mom’s birthday, who was celebrating all the way in Bermuda. My fellow travelers and I slept under the stars, and I remember thinking that the moon would eventually make it over Bermuda and we’d share the same moon! Wherever you are in the world, you will look up at the same moon as family & friends far, far away.

Notre Dame, Paris, France

One magical quotation captures the essence of a fabulous sunset:”The sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire.” – Pamela Hansford Johnson

The picture below is a segue for next weekend’s blog theme:

At Robyn’s Wanderings, we are nothing if not inquisitive about any & every topic that has to do with travel.

Stay tuned for more… I am doggedly preparing you a treat, make no bones about it!
