Bon jour, je suis dans Paris; and they have a different key board so touch typing is not so easy. Since I was on line lazst I have been to Mestre, Venice, San Remo, Nimes, Avignon, and to day we left Avignon at 6am to arrive in Paris about 3.30pm; We have a guide co,ing to the hotel at 8pm to take us on a walking tour of Paris tonight for a couple of hours. We are staying on the Rue des Flanders of La Valliet or as close to spelling as I can remember without a map. Venice Was great, got to go up the canal in a water taxi and took heaps of photos. Fascinating tiny streets when we walked behind the plaza; We went to a shop that did a glass blowing demonstration which was fascinating. It was Murano glass and they let us into the shop afterwards which was fairly lethal for some. We had the only rain on the whole trip in San Marco - I have a photo of the cathedral there with the sky quite black in the bqzckground. It was all over by the time we had finished at the glass shop. Loved San Remo too - amazing scenery of the coastline as we wound our way through miles of tunnels downhill. Got to walk to the beach and then did a walk to the cathedral after dinner: What I love about Europe is that it stays open until at least 10pm each night. Must Sign off And head back to the hotel for the tour. Catch you later.

Bonjour. Congratulations for arriving safely without terrorising, incendiarising, or losing yourself/others anywhere between Florence and Paris. Either there is something you're not telling us or you are becoming less intrepid in your journeying. You can now add Mark to the list of family members who cannot be trusted near small flames. He could smell burning and noticed (while all the rest of our table's attention was on the the nuptual speeches for Claudette and Karl) that a too-close-to-the-tealight- serviette was on fire, so he heroically picked it up, dropped it on the floor and John L deftly stamped it out - saving the new Pukeoware Hall floor from a certain scorching, and without drawing attention away from the speeches.
Awesome wedding. Looking forward to hearing more about Paris.
Am back from a week away incuding the wedding of Annamarie and Nick which was a very beautiful and hapopy occasion. John was pleased to be back from Melbourne which he said was colder than here. We have had lots of cuddle with Daniel and Rowna.Rowan and Kathryn had a girls weekend which included the wedding. Was thinking of you int Oyrenees a French bakery where I had a cup of French(?) coffee) as I composed my wedding speech.This went down very well as did the madeleines and coeur de duc which we took to the brunch today.
