Hotel Du Luzard Marne-la-Vallée

... first spike on the right and walk into what would be Tomorrowland in the US, but is called here Discoveryland instead. I figure I’d get a fast pass for Space Mountain. Even though the US parks have Space Mountain, I have read that this one is totally different. I find the fast pass line and of course end up in the one where the machine is acting up. The cast member finally comes over and gets the people passes out. It burns up some time and the ...

... 20 to 30 minutes before our guide came back. We got our harnesses, and we started our training course. Our guide showed us how to do the basic obstacles, and taught us the safety precautions, especially that you must have always at least one carabiner attached to the safety line. Then after we were finished we started our adventure. There are four levels to "Davy Crocket's Adventure": green, blue, red ...

... the parade and fireworks (starting at 10:20pm). They must have decided to do that. Couldn't have asked for a better day. I feel a little bad that the kids are so dead tired, but hopefully with a good night's sleep and a solid breakfast in the morning, we can have another great day tomorrow. Maybe even a nap midway through. ... Still lots to explore. We haven't even ventured in to their version of the CA Adventure park ... Disney Studios. That will be for tomorrow.

... to find we had to go down a heap of steps to our platform, so we backtracked and after all my efforts we dragged our bags out of the station and caught a cab! Lesson learned! We arrived into our hotel and checked in. Jeff took ½ the bags up in the lift first as there was only room for 1 person and a bag in the lift! I followed and thought I might get stuck in there for ever as it was so difficult to get the bags out of the lift, it was so tiny! Our ...

... rung on major Catholic feast days and four other bells in the north tower ring several times a day. Oh, right in front of Notre-Dame on the ground is the seal of Paris, or the Place du Parvis, which is the point which the distances between Paris and other towns are measured. I remember thinking that was cool when I first saw it, so wanted to pass it on. The tower tour took longer than I expected because you had to wait for the group before you to ...

... until 8pm when we were able to go up to the hotel's shop to pick up a few purchases we had made earlier in the day at the park. Thursday was our final day at the resort and thus it began with breakfast and the dumping of our bags into the storage facility after check-out. The parks once again greeted us with open arms, the Studios being the one we chose first. The day was all about re-riding our favourites and enjoying the better, but not completely dry, weather. By this stage ...

... Day Three We hit Disneyland on opening with about 2000 friends who also arrived at this time, its busy but not as bad as predicated as we cleverly picked the term break to go. Lines aren't too long and we go on everything we come across, Rob's favourite ride, space mountain mission two preceded to provide me with a stonking headache and my neck has gone, but he screamed like a big girls blouse the first time and strutted on the second when he had it sussed ...

... who convinced Anthony and I to participate in the making of some little string bracelets, and by the time we said no they were already done and asking for payment. Anthony did some fast haggling, and we only had to pay a few Euro for what amounted to three pieces of string and some hilarious banter ("Australian? Kangaroo! Sexy wife, this good for jiggy jiggy, good sex, I am African, Akunamatata" etc etc). It was definitely worth it though, we learned a great ...

Finally we found a flat. It's a nice little apartment close to the metro station Botzaris. Visit us, if you can. The apartment consists of two rooms, a bathroom, a toilet and a small kitchen (kitchenette). It's all very nice and French. The surroundings of the apartment are truly Parisian. There are almost no tourist. A lot of people from many countries squander maunder along the busy streets. Some of are running; there is a park nearby. Others are standing in front of ...

Hi Everyone, Well I've made it to Paris, which will be my final destination. Caught the train to the Palace of Versailles today and went for a walk around the eiffel tower last night. Just counting down the days until i return now. cya, Adrian
