One Day More

After a long, hot night in our service centre 'camping site' we headed back up to Fontainbleau, just outside Paris. We nearly didn't make it there though as the final payage (toll booth) was 98 Euro, that is about $Aus175 and the machine didn't seem too keen on taking our credit cards. Eventually it accepted our fourth card which happened to be ours, lucky as we were out of credit cards to try and between the four of us didn't have enough cash.

Dad had managed to book us into the site where he had initially wanted us to spend our Paris week but it had been booked out. It is a lovely site, right by the Seine, with lovely old stone buildings, great amenities (unlike many other spots we had been) and box hedges marking out the sites.

We rapidly put up the awning due to the time and rain and put on our glad rags for our final dinner in France. There was a resaurant not far from the site that had been recomended by the people running the camp site so we thought we would check it out. It had a lovely feel, right by the river and had a jazz band playing out side.

Tieve was being as cooperative as ever with trying to get a nice, natural smile for a group shot.

While Seren did some last minute revising of her French and helped us translate the menu.

Between courses Tieve and I popped outside and she had a little bop to the music.

It was both an early birthday dinner for Glen and thankyou to Mum and Dad and a wonderful way to end our holiday.
