Reluctantly left the peace, beauty and tranquility of the canal boat and dear friends Jennifer and John and caught the train back to Paris…..got the last room available at the Hotel Esmeralda – (1 star!!!!), been a dream of ours since Harry and Maggie told us about it. Rod shlept our gear up four flights of ancient winding stairs, our room is tiny, tiny,tiny we take turns to move around, however it is on edge of the Notre Dame and is in the heart of the Latin Quarter – fabulous. Have had major probs trying to sort out internet access here. In a café last night Rod enrolled the assistance of 2 young guys, one from India and one from Iran, Phd students studying in Holland, they couldn’t sort it either. Even though the French are the friendliest people, do great food and wine they don’t factor in homesick Kiwis who need to keep in touch!!!!
Back to the UK tomorrow and time to get working……..love you all, keep those comments coming, they really make us feel good just to know you’re watching xxxxx
