| Saying farewell and thanks to Terry and Wendy |
After leaving Wendy and Terry we headed
for Cobham for a couple of days with family. We met friends of
Allan's sister Marilyn, and then helped celebrate the wedding of
Allan's nephew Jaren to Katy whose family live close by. The
wedding and reception afterwards fortunately took place in a country
house which had been built with entertainment in mind as the rain
just bucketed down all day.

The happy couple.
The rain actually stopped as you can see behind them |

Traffic jam on the way to Gatwick.

The day after the wedding we left the
car at Gatwick (fortunately we left early as there was a traffic jam
on the motorway and it was still raining), then caught the train back
to St Pancras to take the Eurostar to Paris (still the best way to do
the trip). We called in to see Australian friends (Bev and Fritz)
who have had their flat renovated since we stayed with them last
time. They were off on a trip later in the week. After discussing a potential trip together they took us to one of their local restaurants
where we had a great meal with appropriate portion sizes!

| The Seine under still unfriendly skies. |
Having done a lot of the moving around
in the past few days, we needed to “chill-out”. Allan went for a
run and got wet, and then we headed for a laundry. After we got new
sim cards for phone and ipad, we strolled down to the Seine passing
the Opera through the Tuilleries Gardens and the Place de la
Concorde. On our way back to the hotel we found a lovely little
creperie where we indulged our passion for galettes and cider that we had developed while in Britanny on our last trip.
