Well wongo and i have been busy but i`ll start at the top and i apolgise for any bad spelling becuase im currently using a french keyboard which is annoying to say the least! The imperial war musuem was excellent, our origional plan had us spending about 2hrs there which i extended to about 4. The two 15 inch guns at the entrance were amazing.
there was also a james bond exihibatation inside as well (you can start to see why wongo had to drag me out). Afterwards we checked out trafalger square and the national gallery which were both impressive. The next day we checked out the tate modern musuem and well we both agreed to leave quickly (im not a fan of impressionist works).
At 4am in the morning wongo and i caught the train to paris and in a trend im begging to notice sat next to another bunch of australians, this mqde the early morning trip a bit more bareable. So far in france we've beeen to the louve (and taken pictures- naughty us) and the notre damne which while impressive was no St Pauls in london.
we're currently staying in a two bedroom hotel at the moment which is right in the middle of paris which is handy. Thou the 2am lockout and interesting defintation of roomy makes for a tight fit and the four flights of stairs is keeping us fit!
Anwyas got to run off to see the Effiel tower and the Arc de triomph. hope your all well.
cheers Biddo

Dear Michael and Wongo,
Wongo perhaps you need to teach Michael to spell and use capital letters and a French keyboard rather than to use chopsticks. However we got the drift Mike and it all sounds like good fun. The impressionists will grow on you over time probably as you become less interested in guns, at least I hope so. Its interesting that another group of Australians made your trip more bearable, our reaction used to be to hide if at all possible.
You are certainly using the internet cafes very effectively and all 3 of us enjoy the messages.
Cheers from Ralph and David and much love Judy
Hi Michael and Daniel,
Glad to see you getting to the Galleries as well as the war museums. The Arc de Triomphe may suit your interests - war memorabilia plus a good outlook over Paris.
How have you found the food?
Are you buying bagettes, like the locals?
Have you booked your next accommodation?
We stayed near the Sacre Coeur in Montmartre and there are interesting streets and sights around the church -as well as another view of Paris from a high point. I loved the Musee d"Orsay, but there are more Impressionist Art works there. I wont suggest the Pompidour (sp?) Centre, because it is mainly Modern Art, but the area around it fascinating.
Much love from Mum ( Kerry, Peter and Tom)
Ok, is it just me or is that pose EXACTLY the same pose you used on the warship a couple of days ago...
