Better late than never!
Tamara and I took the trip across, or should i say underneath, the English Channel to France. We went on the new, and apparantly improved, Eurostar, which now, after a couple of billion Pounds reach Paris 15 minutes quicker than the old Eurostar.
This all happened around Valentines Day, and we stayed with old family friends of the McFarlanes the Frayssineau, better known as the 'Froggies'. Tamara also spent 3 months with the family back in 2005 as an au-pair.
We did all the usual stuff any respectfull tourist would have done, you can see some of the cliché photos we took everywhere. One thing that did catch us by surprise was the temperature. On our first day there it was absolutely freezing. We had to buy hats from one of the local street venders. We didn't paint Paris red, but we walked it flat!
We joined the Frayssineau kids, Marie and Constance, on a day at Euro Disney. You be the judge looking at the photos - was it warm,cold or bloody freezing? It was awesome though! We ended up really having a great time, doing all the major rides and waiting in all the major qeues.
Tamara and I took on Paris at night by doing one of the river cruiser, finding out exactly why Paris is called "The City of Lights". I do believe that this is the best way to do it.
On the Sunday we went to the Gardens of Versailles nad Marie Antoinette's farm. It was very cool and we even did some Geocaching there, picking up a cache in the gardens in front of the chateau.
Thank you to the 'Froggies' - Herve, Fred, Constance and Marie - for putting up with us and entertaining us for the weekend!
