Hey, just a quick one. Weve been through Paris which was awesome. Saw all the sights and had a nice dinner together at some place called Le Coq. Awesome. The waiter was all shitty with us when we said we cant speak french, but then later he asked where we were from, we said NZ and his attitude changed completely. Saying thank you so much and about how he has dreamed of this day.... talking about the rugby of course. They LOVE the All blacks here. Probably more so now.. Any who, we are in Switzerland now after a 10 hour drive. Looking forward to seeing the city tomorrow. Then on to Lyon and Barcelona. No time left.The photos are up if you havent seen them yet. Special Hi to Madison who we miss seeing first ... read more

We had a long train ride from Geneva to Sarnen, I beat Advanced Wars Dual Strike on my Nintendo (yessss!) and we soaked up some Swiss scenery along the way. It was a long travel day and we were glad to meet Alban at the station in Sarnen, we grabbed some food and he took us back to his place for a few welcome drinks and an action packed game of Risk (which he won, told you the Ukraine is weak!) I met Alban many moons ago when he came to NZ to study english and lived as a homestay with us, and many thanks go out to Alban for having us stay with him at his house for the week and for taking some time off to spend hanging out with us! Our first day ... read more
