We left Colin, Di and the puppies on Friday morning on the fast train to Paris. We amused ourselves going through the pictures Wendy had put on her ipad from 40 years ago . They really made us laugh,particularly the fashion! We thought we looked so cool.
We met a nice Swiss guy, Christophe. Luckily for us he had a good sense of humour. He is now a member of our "blog" family and sent us a lovely email with his mobile number in case we needed any assistance.
Trish and I met a Frenchman, who lived in the USA and has taught dance in Australia. This all happened while we were waiting in the food line. He told us we were very lucky to live in a country where you woke up to laughing birds!
Wendy was our interpreter and she managed to get us to the hotel without any mishap. Waiting for us was Wendy's friend Paula from Slovenia who she had not seen for 14 years. There were lots of happy tears! We had dinner just near our hotel. Trish and Pam had an early night and left Wendy and Paula to catch up. Wendy's voice had nearly gone when we saw her the next day! After breakfast we were joined by Andrzej another friend of Wendy's and Paula's who they had not seen for many years. Wendy got sacked as interpreter because both Paula and Andrzej were fluent. Wendy was OK but on the train instead of asking for a lid for Trish's coffee she asked for a blanket !!
We had a great day wondering around Paris just chatting and laughing . We seem to always be laughing except when we have to say goodbye. We have now decided no more goodbyes just "see you later".
In the afternoon we were joined by Stelliana a friend of Paula's . After she left we went off to dinner. We nearly were down to two Angels as Wendy nearly choked at dinner - we did not laugh at that. She did recover so all is well.
We are now on the Thalys train to Koln to meet Beate,Wolfie , Katrin and Andreas. We came this way to see different scenery but have spent most of our time using the free wifi. Looking out the window now we can't see anything because it is raining. Hope it stops before we get to Koln.
Unlike the train to Paris this one has free food and tea and coffee. Trish is in her element. She has had about ten cups already! Wendy has been on viber to NZ - we have made the most of our train ride
We have about an hour to go so will sign off now. Will post pictures later.
Hope you are all well and enjoying life has much as us
The Angels
