Ibis Hotel Parly Ii Le Chesnay

... fingers from other drivers during the journeys. We thought that this was a reasonable tally in the circumstances.

Villers Brettenoux (VB)

The trip to VB was long and punctuated only by a brief toilet stop. When we arrived in the town, we searched for signs of the apparent love of the townsfolk for Australians. We were not disappointed as we found an Australian flag draped ‘Kangaroo Restaurant’ and ...

... rest of the night at the Eiffel tower. It really is "Paris" at it's finest. Very cool to see all the people just camped out there with their wine just waiting for it to light up. It was colored blue this time and looked just awesome when it went crazy with the flickering! We did a bit of a stroll to finally find napoleon's tomb (I think) before heading back for bed! Nobody sleeps on noisy trains!! More Paris tomorrow and hopefully the D'Orsay.

... but it was just enough for the three of us. Then we walked to the Marais. Nothing was open though. It seems that all of Marais has taken August off. So we stopped by the Republique Monoprix so DS could get his Pokemon cards. Even though it's a bigger store, they didn't have them. So we walked all the way down to the Goncourt Monoprix, so he could happily get his ...

... in frustrarea generala, ne intamplam in fata ei, cumva. Au aparut si "landmarks", cascam ochii si gura, aratam cu deshtele, dar nu prea mult ca suntem busy. Recomandam insa copilului sa beneficieze de preumblarile noastre haotice si sa se minuneze in voie. Mai incercam vreo ora jumate sa gasim straduta cu hotelul. Greu dom'le! Ne pierdem cumpatul, e vreo 12 noaptea, noi suntem in drum cu bagajele, "capitanul" mai si baga de 11 ca daca ramaneam la Porte D ...

... Gate 8 where the Cosmos bus would get us. She had been at the airport since 7AM and since my flight was delayed, we missed the 8:00 AM bus. I scoped out the meeting place and no Beibei! She should've been there for 2 hours so I didn't know why she wasn't there! I thought she took the 8:00 bus without me. The next bus wouldn't come until 10 AM so I ...

... was sent down to get a baguette for his family every morning--perhaps just across the street. And then I thought of how lucky that child and his family were that they made it to America. When I had first looked up the address when we arrived in Paris, I had also checked the family name online at the Memorial de la Shoah, to see if any of their family members had perished during the Holocaust. Their name did not exist in the database, but as I dug further and further on the ...

... un semblant de stabilite et de confort. Je n'ai toujours pas reussi a joindre Zoom Airline alors je crois que je vais simplement me pointer a l'aeroport et sauter dans le premier avion que je vois. Ce n'est pas mon dernier texte, me reste encore une coupe de choses a dire.

... to Russell Square and dropped our stuff off at the Imperial Hotel. This was the only hotel we had single rooms at, but the rooms were very cute and tiny. In the lobby, we met some more fellow Contiki-ers and we all decided to go explore. We're tired and exhausted, so what better thing to do than go get drinks at a pub! I enjoyed a lovely Strongbow (a cider drink, similar to fruit flavored beer). Could't get any food at the pub, so found a little bakery. Wandered around the city some ...

... is how one sets the table to eat, and the etiquette of food and drink. I was nonplussed when she spoke of how disgusted her boyfriend was when she wore her running pants to the baker---how he felt that it was offensive to the baker--truly a fascinating read. I have much to speak about that book later, but happily I found the author's descriptions of cold, jealous, and unfriendly Frenchwomen to be totally off-base. We might have been in a rarified group ...
