    heheh

    I'm actually thinking I'm finished with this, unless I decide on some tweaks between now and the close of play. I have considered a scale, which may impress the tourists of course.

    Ah no, I saw a better marketing ploy. I hope you recognise the song. And I hope you don't hear these words instead of the real ones every time you hear it

    Please, if you take the fabulous Chickpea River cruise, stop in at Arde-en-Henry and visit the famed Temple of Tyope, where the Muse of Errors is worshiped right next to the editing centers of the old city. Don't neglect to tour the Unruins. You'd think that they were subject to the ravages of time, but no, there's simply an abundance of projects that were begun and never finished! Also, please take a kitten. We are overrun with cats.

    Thank you for reading, and we hope to see you soon!
    Sincerely, the Arde-en-Henry Tourism Borad*

    * Tyope be praised!

    Hi all, back from illness (I hope)
    Your maps are going better every time Straf and this one is of professional quality in my point of vue. Great job and very clever and funny use of labels also (although I am not known for my massage skills let's pretend I am the boss of the Spa and my employees do all the work )
    Two things : What do you mean with "Terme Kelleri" ? I personaly had written "Les Peignoirs rouges"

    It turned out awesome, Straf! As Tenia said, professional quality. It looks great and the labels are so fun.

    Hey Tenia I was wondering where your entry was. I hope your illness wasn't anything too serious. I had a flu earlier this year (first proper one for years) that floored me for a few weeks.

    Thanks for the comments, although professional may be stretching things a bit. I was hoping that your massage parlour would be staffed with red chickens (but not with meat cleavers!) and perhaps some crabs might be useful in some cases I shall forever remember that map

    'Terme' is used in Europe for hot springs and spas, I hope you spend some time convalescing there And yes, I should have put Peignoirs Rouges but my French really is very very poor. Grammar and pronunciation. Maybe my harsh northern English accent will be better suited in Provence though.

    Thanks nopkin. I had quite a lot of fun with the labels and I realise I could have been a bit more creative. I still have more ideas but there comes a time when I have to make a decision to finish it. I feel bad because I missed some people out of it. Thousands of people in fact, but some of the more regular contributors got missed. However if it was possible to zoom in on the cities there'd be many streets referencing them. Honest

    In french, it would be "therme" with a "h" and usually in a plural form "thermes" or "les thermes".
    As for the RedRobes question, we generally use "peignoir" more explicitly as "bathrobe". So, depends of how RedRobes picture himself, I guess .
