Wills & Kate - The Royal Wedding


Today was a Bank Holiday here in the UK due to the Royal Wedding. We dcided to head into London because to be honest, when are we ever going ot have the chance to be part of such a spectacle. Of course, we knew that the chances of us actually seeing anything were really quite remote, however we thought we'd give it a go anyway.


Sure enough it was absolutely ramjam packed. We could not get a space on the Mall at all, and so we laid out our picnic table in St James Park with a (fairly) decent view of the Royal Balcony. We set the iPad and 3G connection up and hey presto, we had a great view! We even had an audience at one point!

Food & Drink of Paris



What a gastronomic feast...luckily our hotel was just outside some of the best eateries in Paris - we ate at Le Dome on the Saturday night which was good, but not as good as it could have been I reckon. Very, very expensive though!

Just opposite was a seafood place which just had the most amazing Seafood platter's - literally everything you could think of...

Paris





SJ has a customer in Paris and so on one of the business trips, we decided to tie it into a long weekend away. SJ went on the Thursday and I caught the Eurostar over on the Friday. The weather was fantastic! Very hot and we had a great time. We were staying in the City, not far from the Museum District.
