The roads of Paris were safely negotiated. Thank you Garmin. However, we didn’t get far. After stopping for lunch in a small village and being surround by small children who had never seen or heard of people like us before, we decided to look around for a place to stay. We were only 75 km from Paris and found a small hotel in Malesherbes. We had couple of beers in a bar/lotto shop/tobacco shop/courier depot and a chat with the owner about who was going to win the World Cup rugby. He said the next beers would be gratis is the Wallabies won. What’s a wallaby he asked? He said, “Our emblem for the French team is Le Cock!”
The name of our hotel is Ecu de France.
You should have bet on the Reds winning Dad. They just got up in the final 18-13 against the Crusaders. You’ve missed a good week for QLD sport back home.
Hope you’re enjoying hitting the road again. We’re jealous big time but keep the blogging and photos coming. I just check the analytics and traffic to billsargent.com.au is up 450% since you left.
We’re hoping to do some wedding stuff back home on the weekend of the 23rd. Reckon it would be ok if we drop in on the house sitters? June said to say not to worry about a thing, we’ve got it all under control. Enjoy the rest of your trip and don’t stress about a thing Mum!
Hopefully we’ll catch you on Skype soon!
