We are currently in 'Le Napoleon' bar in a small town called Rambouillet about 45 mins west of Paris with a lot of French rugby supporters, watching the Rugby World Cup final 2011. Well, who would have thought it would all work out like this? Really want NZ to win, but I do hope the locals are friendly. Some of them are drinking beers with their morning baguettes, and it's only 10.45am, but I guess it's a special occasion, it's not every day that France get into the final of the RWC.
We are now in our camper van. Our home for the next cinquante jours!
Up to now, we have had a few teething troubles:
a. 10 mins after we picked the van up, we crashed into another van and broke the wing mirror and made a bit of a mess of the paintwork (we are using pampers baby wipes to scrape off the grey paint off our white van) thank heavens we got insurance to reduce the excess!
b. The kitchen sink pipes are blocked
c. The petrol cap cover has broken off
Our van is coming to resemble the rattletrap car, soon we will be using chocolate marshmallow fudge delight to stick it all together, but, we are still going;) Going to the Loire Valley today which is a couple of hours away. Great place for Chateaus (that will please 'I DO NOT want to go to another castle' Naomi) and of course, wine. Perfect!
Love
