London, Paris, Holland and Provence


We went to attend our son's second graduation in London. This time he has graduated with a Master's Degree (M.Sc) in Advanced Software Engineering from King's College London. We also took the opportunity to visit Holland and Provence. We kept London to a minimum and instead chose Paris as a base to facilitate our travel to Holland and Provence by high speeed trains.
