Hello from sunny England….NOT!!! More of that later. Paris was all that Paris should be. The weather was great, not too hot, not cold, and just right for touristing. We did all the sights from slightly afar so that we wouldn’t mingle with the crowds or do the lining up things. We’d bought a Metro pass so we utilized the trains a lot. Mont Marte was lovely with great views of Paris and ... Read Full Entry

Sunny England!!
Well some things never change and that is the weather in England !! What an amazing 2 weeks you have all had. Certainly covered some ground - all those beautiful French villages and champagne. I particularly like the phot of you at Brighton!! On the home run almost London,New York, Vegas (not really you still have alot to see and do). Our weather is probably about the same as UK at the moment but I thought it was summer in the Northern Hemisphere?? Take Caare x deb

Sunny England
Apparently England received their whole months rainfall on the day after we arrived Naturally! Lib headed off ok and we delivered the car back to Peugeot. Will miss that car. We can certainly recommend the Peugeot, especially the way you can fold the side mirrors in whilst driving. That came in very handy a couple of times. Love The Globe Jockeys ps Just got in from seeing Les Miserables :)

Still having fun I see
Photos look great - had to giggle at the Brighton Pier one!! Yes Dad - no points for spelling. It's the Sacre Coeur which means Sacred Heart in Montmartre!! Cold in England? It's pretty cold in Perth too. I've just got back to Perth after a week in Darwin where we had days of 31 degrees! Thanks again for your birthday sms - Love you. Enjoy your trip.
