Sadly it is too hot to wear the red jacket now, until next winter. To be honest I am not sure about the prices, because of conversion rates, which I try to ignore lest it spoil the holiday. However, the cafes and occasional purchases of toiletry items seemed to be comparable. We had a wide variety of hotel prices, depending on location, and actually the quality often was not reflected in the price. The Venice, Florence and Rome hotels were quite reasonably priced, very helpful and attractive. Others were less so. Hong Kong was by far the most expensive. <br />Off to spend the weekend with Little Aussie now :)Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-73695923804775666582014-10-03T07:51:05.373-07:002014-10-03T07:51:05.373-07:00I saved your post for Friday evening and great: Yo...I saved your post for Friday evening and great: You shared your purchases!<br />It must have been s o difficult to choose " something ". Thumbs up for the yellow maxi skirt for yourself! Liking also the last scarf ( with the yellow skirt perhaps?). And to top it all, the coffee mug, also with yellow on it!<br />In general, were things priced higher in Europe? Food, hotels..?<br />mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-52460577123862529692014-10-01T16:25:02.560-07:002014-10-01T16:25:02.560-07:00Hi Elizabeth and welcome to my blog.

You have correctly identified the most difficult object for travel, the strawberry dish. It was wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap, but I then rolled a tee shirt into the centre and wrapped the lot in a jumper. It went in the bottom of my cabin bag. I was quite concerned about the pointy corners :)Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-71596128726891925562014-09-29T19:24:28.756-07:002014-09-29T19:24:28.756-07:00Yes, Dorothy was right, Darla.
