Day 4 Our French adventure continues. Off to see one of the world's most famous icons. THE tower. Then a boat trip on the Siene gave us a different perspective. So many cafes. They all look much the same. Lots of chairs out the front. Not many people sitting on them today though.

Day 3 A bit slow to wake up and get going. Gemma had the day planned. We walked and walked and finally found the Siene. Wasn't hard to find a cafe for lunch. Cappuccino not quite the same as at Pops but they sufficed. After attempting to find the Latin Quarter and nearly being pick pocketed in the cute baklava/Turkish delight shop, we managed to find our way home for a nanna nap before heading out to tea.

Day 2 After 21 hours, Abs and I finally touch down at Heathrow at 11.25 England time. Tired but excited. Met up with Gemma and Denis. So good to hug them again. Another flight and we are off to Paris. Our transfer takes us to the Winsor Opera Hotel. Quaint but great. Out for tea on Jaenne's recommendation. Managed to read the menu. All good.

Day 1 Organised, packed and 5 SACS later. Abs and I are finally on our way to fly to the other side of the world to once again be a family, and have one of the biggest adventures of our lives!!
