Summer is here - 25 degrees and sunny!

Day started off slow. Both of us could have slept for many hours more, however, we dragged our butts out of bed at 9:00. Steph was certain it was only 3am. The slow start may have led to us missing our 10:22 am train by about 2 minutes. Oh well, we did not stress. We are on holidays. Took the opportunity to walk around another part of town (Gare du Nord) for 2 hrs until the next train left. We took a 50 minute train to Arras and then a taxi to Vimy Ridge. We did a tunnel tour, walked around the trenches and looked at the monument. It is beautiful. The tunnels were much bigger than expected. Rather scary when you realize how many undetonated things there are on the grounds. Trust me, we did not go near any fenced off areas. Tonight, we had a great meal at Cafe du Marche - good suggestion Barb!

We are spending the day tomorrow in Paris, leaving late in the afternoon for Interlaken, Switzerland.

We are fortunate to have wireless internet in our hotel but not sure this will continue in the hostels.

Hope all is well at home.

Sherrie's 1st travel rule (Steph does not like this rule) - Always travel with someone who the bugs like more than you.
