We said good bye to the rest of the group this morning. Vic and Daniel came down to see us off. Then it was on the coach out of Paris. I snoozed most of the trip to Calais so I didn't really see much if the county side. We reached Calais around twelve thirty and went through customs there. I got a really chatty customs officer who was really nice but I had just woken up from a snooze and was feeling pretty sluggish, he probably thought I was being rude. Then we ...

Today it was on the bus at eight thirty with a local guide. We went first to Notre Dame. We risked parking tickets to get the bus to drop us off as close as it did. I loved the cathedral. It wasn't quite as imposing during the day as it was lit up at night but it was still incredible. I liked that you could see the bare stone for the walls. It wasn't decorated to the last inch. The stained glass windows were incredible too. I took pictures but I don't know how w...

Today was a really long long long day. And the worst of it was we did practically nothing. Up at six for a departure at seven thirty we then spent almost the whole day on the bus. We didn't even get to see some nice scenery as it was raining. We reached our hotel in Paris around five thirty. After the beauty of Lucerne and Innsbruck, the part of Paris we've seen so far really seems like a bit of an ugly city. We haven't really seen too much just yet but I'm not ...

Granted I had about seven layers on but it was so worth it. Magical. After the cruise we picked up some more of the tour group and headed up to Mount Titlis. Words can not describe how beautiful the mount...

We left Innsbruck about seven thirty this morning. About an hour out of the city it starts snowing again. This time it's cingular down really hard. There was a good couple of inches on the ground within a few minutes. It was pretty fun. About quarter to eleven we arrived in Vadez, the capital of Lychenstine. It was miserably cold and wet so nobody was keen to have a good look around. Not that there was a whole lot to see. The best looking thing in town was the g...
