09.09.07 Today we left Mont St Michel headed for Tours and the Loire Valley. Pumped along the motorway with the help of Basil (our GPS) and arrive at our accommodation about 3 hrs later. We are staying in a B&B in a little French village called Fondettes. About 15mins from Tours. The B&B is absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. A nice warn shower with decent water pressure for a change, you can actually wash the soap off. The rooms that we have are ...

08.09.07. Good-bye to Paris this morning and on our way to Normandy and Mont St Michel. Caught the TGV, very fast, train to Rennes to pick up our hire car.

Michelle drove, t...

05.09.07 We had planned to go to Disneyland today but things didn't go according to plan. Klaus was going to drop us off as it was on his way home, but he couldn't get his car out of the car park and didn't get back here until 11pm. Half the day gone, so we decided to go tomorrow. Instead we went to visit the Louvre. Walked around for a couple off hours saw the Mona Lisa, the Egyptian and Greek antiquities and left. You really need a couple off days to properl...
