Here´s a few pics of the ferrie from dover in England to France. You can see the white cliffs in the background.




We got to Paris and checked out all the sites. Saw the Mona Lisa and the Thinking bloke. Good times. Went to Notre Dame, the biggest church I´ve ever seen! We also went to the Lourve and the Eifel tower. It was a special time to see the eifel tower because the new president was being sworn in or something so it was lit up blue for the first time ever. Very cool :) We climbed up there and celebrated by sharing a very expensive cigar that one of the American guys bought.











After Paris we headed to Bordeaux where we headed out for dinner. Menus were in French so we had no idea what we were getting! haha.. I was one of the lucky ones who oredered lamb back strap which was great but one guys meal looked extremely falic! No idea what it was but glad it wasn´t me!

I finally had my first surf! It was in a little french town near the border of spain called Baritz. Was pretty good but short as we didn´t have much time. No pics unfortunaletly as everyone was in the water. Water was so warm!!!! a balmy 20 deg which is a lot warmer than Phillip Island. All the Frenchies were out there in wetsuits but we were just in boardies and not cold at all.


From there went into spain where we stopped at Pamplona. This is where they do the running of the bulls and we just missed it! Was due to start the day after we left.. The festivities were on tho in preparation, so we joined in. We stayed at a campsite that had 20,000 Aussies who were there to run with the bulls. Was a massive party, thats for sure! Feeling a little shabby now but what can you do..




On the way to Barcelona now so next post should have some crazy pics from there :)
