A few days in France
We arrived in Beauvais, a small town about 80km north of Paris on Wednesday night, grabbed the only taxi to be seen and managed to check into our hotel just minutes before it closed for the night. We weren't expecting too much from Beauvais but were pleasantly surprised. We explored the huge cathedral in the centre of town then found a nice little patisserie where we collected our daily quota of croissants and bagettes which we enjoyed for breakfast in the main street of town. We made our way to the train station where we discovered that the next train to Paris was an hour away so we enjoyed a coffee in the sunshine outside a nice little nearby cafe.
Paris was a fairly whirlwind tour for Jill, but it gave her a bit of a chance to practice her French. Thursday afternoon we wandered along the Seine, visited Notre-Dame cathedral, the pantheon and Luxembourg gardens. Thursday night we went out for a nice Parisian dinner.
Friday we had the day to explore. We went to the Eiffel tower, into Musee D'Orsay, the Louvre and attempted to visit a jazz bar at night (they turned out to be much too expensive sadly).
Saturday morning we went up to Sacre Couer before catching the eurostar back to London.

Relaxation time
The last few days have been spent doing as little as possible in the Portugese town of Praia de Rocha. We arrived on Saturday after catching a bus and a train from Huelva, Spain.
We checked into our appartment and headed straight out to check out the pool then the beach before going on a mission to find a supermarket to stock up on rum, mint, lemonade (mojito time!) and of course some food.
Sunday we spent the morning at the beach working on our tans and trying to brave the surprisingly chilly ocean. Sunday afternoon consisted of much the same by the pool and Sunday evening we spent drinking cocktails and wandering along the beach.
Monday morning we went for a walk to explore the town fort (which turned out to be a lovely cafe) and along the rocky pier to the lighthouse (well technically it was a channel marker but never mind). Monday afternoon was back to the pool and Monday evening, you guessed it, more mojitos.
Tuesday ,just for a change, we spent the morning at the beach, the afternoon at the pool and the evening drinking cocktails and wandering along the beach.
Today we left Praia de Rocha and caught a train to Faro, a bus to the airport and we are now winging our way over France to Beauvais (a little town just north of Paris).
