This website shares the global adventures between 1948 and 2016 of two intrepid sisters from the UK, Annette and Marguerite Pierre.
The website was created in December 2022 and more trips are being added over time, but for now we mourn the loss of Marguerite, who died peacefully aged 92, on 6 October 2023.
