Up early and off to the delightful Loire valley where we stop at a spectacular 16 century chateau chambord. It is what's in the picture. It was massive with each section being the same. A huge square with a spiral staircase and a column off each corner and the same amount of rooms. It was pretty cool, we didn't get a guided tour though so this is as much info as I can give you. It has been a very long day of driving but we watched a couple of movies and had...

Boofa and i woke up early to get into a huge day of sight seeing, we were on the train by 7.30 to hit the Notre Dame at 8. Notre Dame de Paris (IPA: [nɔtʁ dam də paʁi]; French for Our Lady of Paris), The Notre Dame is another huge cathedral that has been made famous by the movie "the hunch back of Notre Dame", they were going to destroy the church before the movie made it a must see site.

Well an early morning after no sleep doesn't go down to well. Room was so stuffy and hot, bed slanted so felt like we were going to roll out of bed all night, phone calls and a noisy hotel lol!! Anyway we are on our 2 hour drive to the ferry to get to Paris. We are getting excited, putting our tiredness to the back of our heads and getting on with it. Our tour leader is Owen he seems nice, he is originally from Brisbane and our driver is Brian. Well she wil...

Well the once mighty Sherwood forest is now down to a few trees and no Robbin Hood! Pretty disappointing. Our stop for lunch was at Stratford-Upon-Avon. This is the home of Shakespeare, where he was born, his school and his wife's thatched house. We just went for a nice walk and enjoyed lunch in a quaint caffe where I got to enjoy one last clotted cream scone. Then back on the bus bound for London. End of tour, everyone says there goodbyes then we catch the...

Today was pretty much a traveling day. Our main stop of the day was York. York is a medieval town with old buildings that are slanted down through age, skinny streets with tourist shops all through them. In York Boofa and I did a tour of the York dungeons where we learnt about guy Fawkes, d*** Turpin, vikings and gladiators. It wasn't very good, a bit like a haunted house trying to be scary lol!! It went longer than it was ment to go so we had to run for 10 m...
