UNITED KINGDOM - DAY 2 We joined Trafalgar Tours for our 12 day tour the Britain and Ireland Experience. We travelled out of London and headed towards our first port of call, Stonehenge. Talk about freezing. The wind was so cold that even though we were in a sacred site it was too cold to truly appreciate it. This could have been the chilling effect of the mystical location but more likely just the howling arctic winds coming across the open hills. We took o...

UNITED KINGDOM - DAY 1 We braved the metro with our luggage to catch the Eurostar across the English Channel to the United Kingdom. The train trip was great. We zipped across the country side and entered the tunnel that took us under the channel. In no time at all we were out the other side and in England. After leaving our luggage at the hotel we headed out to explore London. We immediately noticed that all the flags were flying at half mask and wondered who h...

FRANCE - DAY 7 Today was a day of rest. We potted around the hotel during the morning before heading into the city after lunch for a last wander around. We walked back over some of the great places we had seen throughout the week and even had a bike ride up Champs se Lysses to the Arc de Triomphe. Later in the afternoon we caught up with our friend Amy who had just completed a marathon and we had dinner together before parting ways. Our week in Paris was fabu...

FRANCE - DAY 6 We had to get up at an unholy hour this morning to catch our bus tour to Mont Saint Michel. We caught the metro and exited easily. Then it started to go pear shaped. We got turned around and couldn't find the right street. As we raced through the dark streets of Paris to make it to the tour company on time, we began to have doubts of making it. Luckily we asked a pedestrian who pointed us in the right direction and we managed to make it just i...

FRANCE - DAY 5 - EURO DISNEY WOW! We thought we knew what theme parks were like, but you haven't seen anything until you do Disney. We spent all day there in one park, only did half the rides and saw a fraction of what was available and had an absolute blast. Ellexis and Angelique were in seventh heaven. On the train trip home, Ellexis and Angelique spent the entire journey pouring over the Disney maps reliving their favourite moments. Money well spent.
