The Palace of Versailles

Today we were to see Versailles, which was Mum's choice but having seen Marie Antoinette, despite how appalling the movie was, I was keen to see it too. Our first stop was at McDonalds to check email and have a drink and then we parted with Dad who had to go and find a new tail light for the car. It would appear that summer holidays must have already started in Europe as the queues here were really bad too. We decided that with the long wait to get tickets and the number of people who would be inside, we would not see inside the Palace but, instead, see the gardens.

Surprise, surprise, our first stop was for some lunch as it was now 3 (who knows why we didn't have any when doing the emails as it was 1 then). Dad joined us just as we were finishing so we split up and Glen and I took the girls to look around the grounds. The gardens are huge and 3 of the sections on one side were closed for work so we headed right down to the end of the garden and then made our way back through the sections on the left side.

Eventually, as it was time to leave, we once again found Mum and Dad and as we were all pretty tired we headed back to the car and our site.

Seren had been pretty cranky all day and had not being given much to eat or drink but water due to the risk of being ill again. We had given her several doses of panadol as she was still pretty warm and on our return to the caravan she was 38.4 OC. We had planned to go to Disneyland tomorrow but have decided to bring our rest day forward to give her a day to recover.
