Disney and more

It's been a little while since I've last posted, due mainly to the fact that we have access to very expensive wifi in our hostel and when we do have free wifi it's only for short periods of time (i.e. when we have coffee or food). So now I'm hoping to provide an update of the final days of our trip. The last few days in Paris

On Thursday we went to Disneyland Paris. It was a bit of a wet and miserable day but we still had a really great day. We got to ride the EAC with Crush and Squirt, entered the Twighlight Zone by a 'broken elevator' that dropped down from incredible heights, explored the pirate waters in the Caribbean with Captain Jack Sparrow, were launched into space by a Rocket Launcher, got lost in wonderland after spinning in the mad hatters tea cups and also helped Buzz Lightyear conquer the 'bad toy' who stole all the batteries with our lazer shooters.

After eating dinner in Belle's restaurant (where they played 'Happy Birthday' for Mum at least 3 times), we saw the Disney spectacular show at the main area which was basically a really fascinating show of well choreographed lights, fireworks and sounds.

Over the past few days we haven't done all that much, Jemma isn't feeling to great with a cold so we've been wandering around Paris seeing some of the parks, eating amazing crepes and soaking up as much sun as we can (between the showers of freezing cold rain). Today we found an English speaking church in Paris and are now relaxing and catching up on blogs and what ever else we feel the need to do before listening to another sermon that we have downloaded.

Only a few more days before we get home. It feels like it has been a really long time. But in 2 sleeps from now we will be boarding a plane one more time before landing on home ground. In a place where everyone speaks Australian and we know exactly where we are
