Hello @melbourneswest, oh yes certainly haha, it's a great time to catch up. For the last 2 decades, we have been switching almost yearly, they'd visit us this year and then the next year we'd visit them wherever we were and take turns with accommodation thus saving on the hotel costs 😊. But there were times we planned travels together to a foreign country together. The last one was a road trip to NZ for a month.

It's sad though, this was the longest time we haven't seen them. After their last visit to us here in the Philippines, they vowed not to travel again due to a stressful and tiring long journey from France but the pandemic has changed their minds and they expressed their love to travel again.

Oh, yes, one of the castles in Château de Bourdeilles is a Gothic one while the one next to it and most of the french manor houses are from the Renaissance. Have a great weekend!
