Our daughter Helen and husband James have booked a European holiday for the month of September. Yesterday’s tragedy in the French city of Nice where 84 people were killed and another 202 people were injured by a madman who, was a Muslim, but was not a religious person.
Helen and James have Paris, Nice and Avignon on the French part of their holiday and they and me of course, have some concern about their safety. The perpetrators of such horrors aim to create as much terror as possible and so attack crowded venues.
Bali, in Indonesia, suffered an attack in which 88 Australians were killed in a nightclub bombing. The clubbing foreigners drinking alcohol were an easy target for religious extremists. In the many times my wife Joan and I visited Bali, we never visited the clubs and stayed in quiet oldies' areas.
Helen and James will no doubt do the same when they visit France and Spain.
