Natalie Brown Great blog Kim. Paris sounds like a highlight and I can definitely understand the tears you had together. What an unbelievable experience - I can't believe you ate snails, I'll save you some from your garden. Sit back and enjoy the moment....and the cheeseburgers!!!

Nic Love this entry. The magic of Paris is alive. Well done on the snails Sar. They are chewy little guys.

Natalie Brown We are glad you are still alive. It reminded Ross of when he was in Beijing and the taxi driver dozed off to sleep with the kids in the car. He soon woke up when they it a concrete barrier defining the Olympic lane! I can just imaging you both dancing...come on...you must take a photo of ypu doing a woo hoo by the end of your trip!

Natalie Bronwn Wow! So pleased you made it to the Olympics, especially the MENS volleyball. From the feature photo we can see you have a few new hat pins. Enjoy the games and make sure you spend time in the Olympic precinct soaking up the excitement.

Team Nixon Olympic fever sounds awesome! Hope you both enjoyed some nice eye candy watching the beach volley ball, great choice their.

Donna Trafford Hi Kim and Sarah, I was looking for you in the crowd at the beach volleyball, but it was when the aussie were on and looks like you weren't at the game. I am so envious of you both. We had Steve Bradbury at Kick off, but not quite the same. Keep the blogs coming.........

Nic Fountain sounds spectacular. I think I'm going to have to Utube it. Taxi ride is one for the story bank.

Team Nixon Sounds amazing! I bet the fountain puts crown to shame ;)

Nic Wonderful blog for an amazing building. I look forward to hearing the progress report. It's current 3:30 am here and our house has been renamed Snotsville.

Donna Trafford R u sure it was a mouse and not the bouncing giant kangaroo from the cartoons!

Snowy H guys! Sounds like you guys are having a great time while I'm stuck here in cold , wet, windy Melboure. I miss you both especially sitting on the couch whilst you guys are off all day at work and school. Looking forward to bones and cuddles when you get back. Say hello to the royal pooches for me.

Nic & Elia Drama for the travelers means entertainment for your blog readers. While we both sincerely hope birthday number 2 was a success. Please keep up a little drama.

Natalie Brown So pleased you are back blogging, we missed you! The water taxi tour sounds fantastic, well worth the money I can only imagine. I hope your driver was a honey. Can't wait to see all your shopping. I never made it to Burano. As a mother of 3 boys, lace is not really our thing so I'm looking forward to seeing what you bought. Take care.
