England, Bern and Paris

Here's a few pictures from our fabulous trip to Europe.



The pictures don't really do our trip justice. We travelled over to the UK, spent some wonderful days with Tim, Ness and Cerys in London, then up to see Mom in Wolverhampton and then down to visit both my brothers in Henley and Bath. Enroute we spent a few days in Newbury where I was so happy to catch up with not only Robin, Shan and the boys but some old AA friends and take part in my first cricket match for over ten years. I was made honorary captain and we duly recorded a victory against the might of the Watership Down Pub (not that I can take an awful lot of credit for the win!)

After the UK we caught a short flight to Bern in Switzerland - an absolutely stunning part of the world and watched Wolves play in a pre-season friendly against Young Boys(a game which Wolves duly won 4-0) From there we caught the train to Paris and enjoyed what was undoubtedly Audrey and Eli's highlight of the holiday - a day at Disneyland Paris. We got to Disneyland as it opened and left at 11.30pm (a full 13½ hours later!) The next day we climbed the Eiffel tower and then embarked on our looong journey home (due to delays taking nearly 45 hours!).

It was such a lovely holiday. Although it was tiring at times, a month away from the chilly Canberra winter represented excellent timing and it was great to see family and friends who we hadn't seen for a long time.
