These five days were basically an opportunity for us to catch up with Nicky & Phillip again, and have a nice rest. We also saw Nadia again (Karen's friend) - she's lovely!
We had a wonderful chocolate fondue one night and also went out for an Indian meal as well.
We also had a really nice time at the Christmas markets in the town square. There were stalls, rides, characters dressed up in Christmas themes, carols and warm cider & wine. Yum!
Although it was very chilly, there was no snow ... we're starting to wonder if there is any chance of another fall for us before we return to Australia.
We posted a couple more boxes of 'stuff' back home ... but will still have to be a bit selective before packing to come home (we have so much stuff - you know how hard it is to get Ian to stop shopping!!!).
On our last day before heading to the train, Nicky & Phillip took us shopping so that we could buy some special champagne & cheese supplies for going back to Mark & Vanessa's.
Our trip back to France was really relaxing and nowhere near long enough. But we are running out of time now and there is still so much left to do.
