Volcanos and Stuff

Since our last correspondence so much has happened but it is the last few days which have been the most challenging.

We caught the last flight out of South Africa which successfully landed in Europe. Twenty minutes after arriving in Frankfurt the airport closed due to the errupting volcano in Iceland. As such we couldnt get our connecting flight to Paris stranding us in Frankfurt for several days. Nothing against Frankfurt but it is the second most expensive city in Germany and 48th most expensive city in the world. In the end we hired a car for 300 Euros- yes thats correct, and drove the 500 km to get to Paris where we have been for the last four days.

Weather has been great, we went to the Moulin Rouge which we thoroughly enjoyed. Have visited the Eiffel Tower and Louvre. Off to eat some baguettes and croissants Sacre Bleur!!!!!!!!
