Last day of our trip. Booked breakfast with the characters that's held at the other hotel. Great buffet breakfast - something for everyone and more! Four characters came around to visit the tables. Great fun. Spent our last few hours at the park.

keep the pina coladas flowing! god, you guys are BRAVE!! and RESILIENT!! i reckon that driving on the wrong side of the road and in completely unfamiliar places must be about as challenging as anything else you've had to contend with.
in years to come you'll be dining out on tales like this!
well done everyone, i say!
still missing you, but all ok in hawthorn east. currently watching hawthorn kill the sydney swans.
25C here tomorrow!!

"The waiter? Well, the look he gave the girls when we first went in, I nearly walked out. Such disdain!"
Lol...im seeing a pattern, but this is what travelling is all about and it will give you plenty of laughs for years to come! :)

"head waiter's attitude was a bit poor"

hi everyone,
just popping by to say hello to you all - and thanks for the running update!
am getting a real 'flavour' from your entries, and love it that you are so INTREPID!! (talk about cool heads prevailing when things don't always go according to plan..)
so: snails, truffles, macaroons - and gallic arrogance - whateve paris has on offer, you're up for the works, i'd say!
and so much walking! it's an excellent way of seeing it all at close range - and of maintaining excellent fitness!
everything ok back here. julia gillard and the govt in BIG trouble over the high court's decision that the 'malaysian solution' to the arrival of refugees is not legal.
an opportunity for a humane approach (ie, onshore processing?)
not likely!!
evenings drawing out. weather mild and spring like.
and the footy finals season starts this weekend.
and that's about it form hawthorn east. the dogs are still ondering where you afre, alex and celeste - although i'm trying to keep them updated.
glad you're drinking it all in - and we look forward to the next exciting instalment!
love to you all,
mary

Hi Miss Tania,
Have finally got a chance to read about your european adventure. what a great website. Sounds like you are having an amazing time - shame about the rude waiters - but hey you are in PARIS. I think the amazing buildings, shops etc make up for it. I remember going to Galleries LaFayette and how beautiful the building was - I didn't buy anything though - unfortunately. I can't believe you tried snails. Ah, ah, I don't think I can be as brave. I am so jealous you are tasting all the wonderful food delights of paris - lucky you are doing all that walking!! Thats why the french women look so georguos and slim - they eat lovely food but they walk everywhere. I think I can do that! i hope your puffy eye has settled down - nothing but a little drama to make your trip interesting. How are the girls coping with all this wonderful exposure to travel in a foreign country? Lucky things - look forward to your next instalment. Safe and happy travels

So you finally got to the Dr Who exhibition you were telling me about :) I dont think it was a traffic jam as such, it's just London being London :)
