MyTripReport.com also includes a photo gallery of many destinations, including photos of many Caribbean resorts. A number of travel tools are also available on site, including Government travel advisories, currency converters, airline seating maps, plus many more. Word-of-mouth is such an invaluable tool available to us, it’s nice not to be totally dependant on squeaky-clean hotel websites and travel brochures.

| | Out on the bread runWritten by Craig McGinty
Continued from page 1
Driving down a tight narrow track we would come across a collection of tumble down buildings, with smooth stone archways and a crumbling stairway to a wooden door. Or valley floor would open up and a large farm often producing foie gras would come into view. “I used to be a post woman which comes in very useful for remembering which lane leads where,” Marie Ange said. “And often on drive you will see a beautiful view or catch sun in leaves, it really is very calming.” By mid-morning van had been loaded up again and it was off to Villefranche du Périgord. Here we stopped in market square and attracted a bit of a crowd as they bought up their bread straight from back of van. We would also shoot up and down four main roads in village beeping horn, or tapping on window, as people came out. “I sometimes think I should stand in middle of square and whistle to attract everyone to van,” said Marie Ange. “And you always get one or two who think they are boulanger and ask how bread was made, is it fresh, what does it taste like?” By lunchtime deliveries are made and ritual of bread begins again in boulangerie ovens - but that is another story.
