Quick interim update

Just bashing away for a few minutes at an internet cafe - and have spent most of my credit sorting out an unauthorised use of my ebay account! (Apparently I'm really into pewter chess sets, go figure...)

So anyway, will just be a quickie until I have to elaborate... apologies.

Yesterday, went on a bus tour with the girls to Sacre Coeur and the Eiffel Tower. There's a crappy little elevator at the Sacre Coeur, but it wasn't worth taking. However, the chapel itself was beautiful - and there was a French Catholic service taking place that was quite interesting. I also bought a ticket for the crypt (the girls bailed), but it ended up being a ticket up the tower instead! Lovely views though...

Afterwards, we stopped for a crepe and a loo break (not the same thing), then back on the tour bus. Temparature was even lower than London - apparently 2 degrees? - so we didn't enjoy the ride too much. And when we arrived at the Eiffel Tour, the wind was so awful we had to run back home instead. Poor Rebecca barely got a look at it.

Went to a crowded wee restaurant for dinner, and Anna and I had snails. They were like yummy garlic mushrooms - slurp!

NZ WATCH: Saw a street busker outside the Opera House doing tricks with a football. A guy in a silver fern jacket kicked his ball away. Go kiwi!
