It Begins!

Hello from across the pond!

We red-eyed from Calgary to London and met up with Kirsten, who showed us some English hospitality for a couple of days. After our brief tour of London we picked up camp and headed south to Portsmouth for a proper football match before crossing the channel into France. From there we visited Juno beach and spent a couple days in Paris! The Louvre kicked our asses before we jetted to Portugal. A whirl-wind start to our relaxing trip on the Mediterranean!
