This is up in the Alps near Briancon (highest town in France) I know it's the BM, not the SLK, but I could not believe the colour of the water - it really is that colour - something to do with rock flour and algae from the glaciers.

Ships in the desert? Wow 105 countries good for you Woolly --- 3500 miles in 2.7 years the way we are going that will be 60k plus.
Doug -- I should have know about the servants Quarters --- but when you live in a house the size of a small gate house like us you just have to guess what the main house is like
