Friday - London to France
Woohoo - I left London today with 20 other twenty somethings on my Top Deck tour. The other travellers are mostly Aussies with a couple Kiwis, a Mexican and one Korean. Great crew of friendly and like minded people. I apologise if the following seems rushed but internet is €5 for 30 mins and I got lots to write and theres people waiting too....
We drove to Dover and saw the white cliffs before boarding a ferry to France. We reached our hotel in Paris pretty late and Matty our bus driver took us to Montematre for dinner and Sacre Cour for a look see of this beautiful chapel. An early night was had so we had lots of energy to walk around Paris the next day.
On Saturday Emma and I walked at least 13kms around Paris visiting the usual tourist places like the Lourve, Notre Dame, Napoleons Tomb, Rodin Museum, Champs Elysees, Eiffel Tower etc. Took sooo many photos and my feet nearly fell off but its sooo worth it. Paris is a stunning and clean city. Very impressed. Even drunk some genuine French Champagne under the Eiffel Tower. =) Noice!!!
Dinner that night consisted of frogs legs, snails, crepes, french onion soup, blue cheese and mousse. Mum and Dad will be very proud - their fussy daughter got adventurous and had some frog and snail but I did feel really guilty eating the poor froggy... Tastes kinda like chicken for the uninitiated =)
Following dinner, we went to a Cabaret Show... We didnt go to Moulin Rouge but it was brilliant all the same. Even the waiters got into the action on stage!!
Today we`ve driven about ten hours to get to Lauterbrunnen which is near Interlaken. Switzerland is fffreezing but so pretty with huge snow capped mountain ranges and lots of little rivers and lakes. We`re off exploring tomorrow and here again tomorrow night so will try update more then.

Well Tink,you knew that Paris would be 'Amazing', but what was the weather like? , did you go shopping?, find any jewellery? Buy a book?
Visit the LIBRARY??? Sooo disappointed in you, that it you'll have to come home early if you don't fit in at least one, somewhere on your trip. Don't get a Librarian angry!!!!!
