... t just salespeople. There was a definite creepy vibe about them, ... and so as I stood in line with my don't-talk-to-me-or-you-will-die look on my face, I did my best to scope out the situation. Within five minutes, I saw the deal. A young boy walked up to a man asking the price for an item. He turned instantly, and went toward the mom (who had two other small children with her) and began discussing prices with her. Soon after three other men came, one alongside ...

... are able to do it by that time frame...fantastic idea I say! Anyone in Melbourne wish to do the same thing perhaps?!? Where was I? Oh yeah, I have even seen bosnian women working in gangs asking if you speak english. Imagine my delight at hearing that until I was hit with the sob story with a note being held up to my face saying that their father was in hospital and needed money. Here's an after thought. She asked me in perfect english! If you answer ...

... us" from the "them's". Not so many Canadians around Paris in general - lots of Americans, a few Auzzies, lot of Brits. After dinner, we went on the 10pm river cruise, to see the buildings an monuments lit up, and of course, Le Tour Eiffel as the star of the show. See for yourself - it was lovely. K

<Brian's brief chronological list of "highlights" (and of whinging)> - Eurodisney - French Meal at a café - Eiffel tower pictures at night (Brian was too lazy to update the blog from here onwards..) <Lang's Extended Version> We woke up quite early this morning as we were going to catch a ride with Gruncle to the train station before he dropped Sophie off to school. We were out of the apartment by 8.10am, and as usual, Gruncle was in a ...

... and the lines to both the elevator and the stairs were very long! We took the line to the stairs over the elevator because it was shorter...but after standing in line for a half and hour...they told us they were closing down the line! It was getting tooo dark and they didn't want people climbing up the stairs in the dark. We decided that since we made it this far we had to go to the top...so we hopped in the elevator line and just hoped it moved fast! While waiting, Sarah decided a ...

... it! Camera in hand we looked at the Little Park Guide to decide where to go first. Theres Discoveryland to the right, Fantasyland with the famous Pink Castle straight on, Frontierland to the left and Adventureland behind that. So many rides! So much to see and do! Frontierland won - straight to the Big Thunder Mountain runaway train! We were soo excited, and Daddy kept saying it in a funny voice like on the TV advert!! there was bog all que so that was ...

... phone rang and he answered it "Pronto," we laughed. That is exactly the Italian attitude we love. The girls were grateful to sleep in (we returned with four clean loads of laundry and pastries from the local shop just after noon) and we hit the streets for our last day in Paris. It turned out to be quite the walking extravaganza. We headed to Notre Dame and walked into the church to admire the incredible interior. The absolute disregard of so many tourists is amazing (thank ...

... on top of Sierra Nevada where it was snowing, but the first placed was shut for renovation, the second one was booked out so next we pulled into a hotel on top of the mountain. During the night mum and dad got to sample some of the Spanish customs, that is they (including their children) stay up all night and are very very noisy... needless to say they did not get a very good nights sleep because heaps of people rock up to check in at 1.00am in the morning and then yell and scream ...

... it was good! For dessert, we had a chocolate mousse. Yummy Yummy Yummy dinner! The next day, we visited a few more sights around Paris, including where the Bastile used to be. Before leaving France, we had to have crepes!! I got a nutella and banana crepe, and Eric got a nutella and banana crepe with some kind of alcohol in it. lol. We hopped on the bus and headed back to the airport. We had a late flight out of Paris on to Rome. We wouldn't land in Rome until ...

... man with a walker. the inside of the palace was very nice with one exception. the famous hall of mirrors was undergoing its first renovation ever and we were not able to see it. i think that myself and bob were the most disappointed but it was great to see nonetheless. we then thought we were a lot tougher than we actually are when we tried to go out and look at the grounds. out need to be nine and throw snowballs at each other coupled with ...
