9/09/11 Day 31. Paris Day 2, France Up bright and early this morning, 7.50am our time, 6.50am your time. Had a freshly backed croissant and pain au chocolat for breakfast - gorgeous! I had to wait until after 10 to be able to call my mummy at work to tell her about the happenings. We got the shuttlebus into Paris to a placed called Port Maillot. We walked down from there to see L'Arc De Triomphe and to witness the carnage that is the roundabout . On our jou...

8/09/11 Day 30. Paris Day 1, France So we woke this morning in Narbonne to a fine from the police on the windscreen for sleeping in the carpark ... Gutted again! How bad can our luck be?

Not happy with the French Autoroutes. So we got to the beach and on our way we pa...

We ended up arriving at the lay-by where we're staying tonight at about 5.35. It was only 9 hours we tanned it :) so on the way we saw massive storm clouds, looked down onto Monaco as we drove past and I slept a bit. It was again, very eventful! There's a beach right by this lay-by t...
