Friday 26th Sept (I think)
Well today we tackled the train to Quimper to visit friends from our old PNG days but let me start with yesterday as I think that is where I was up too.
After ending on a final count of 11 km walking on Wednesday we awoke early yesterday in an attempt to catch the train up to Varsielle (let me apologise up front for the spelling, those of you in my team should be used to it!!!)
was a nice short train ride up and then we walked up to the grand palace it was amazing but lots of tourists like us... the strangest thing about the palace was that there was a modern art exhibition through the old king and queen chambers a little strange we have some photos and will post when we can, we figured it was much cheaper finding our own way there than going on a tour bus by about $50 so a good thing really
We had a nice lunch there and then hopped on the train back to Paris where we decided to walk up the famous champ ellses (again I know its spelt wrong but cant be bothered checking) we did wonder through the Louis Voitton store and imagined having the money to buy one of the $4000 handbags very nice!!
After a day of walking around again we headed back to the hotel and our last count of km covered we had about10.8km today (hmmm I am starting to think I should stop asking)
Today we navigated the metro with ALL our baggage at peak time to arrive at the main train station to catch the train to Brittany was hilarious the pair of us with our big back packs, little back packs bag of wine and handbags, pretty sure we only took out a few parisions on the way but we made it there on time, jumped on the train and 4.5 hrs later here we are....
The Stoyles live a beautiful sea side village in country France its nice and of course they live next door to the pub!!! my kind of people.
Well thats about it for the moment I have managed to catch a cold and am trying very hard to get rid of it....
For those in my team reading this dont think I have forgotten you have 3 days left of the quarter, MAKE me proud!!!!!
love you all will write again soon
