Versailles

Our second day in France was also Melanie's father's birthday so we had a very healthy breakfast of croissants and pastries and set out for Versailles.
I figured because we were going to a palace it would be acceptable for me to wear wedges...
we arrived to find a delicious layer of melting snow on the ground and a line that would have taken hours!
We decided to skip the indoor tour of the palace and just venture around the grounds and later drive to Marie Antonette's farm.

Versailles has been on my list for quite a while so today was so fantastic even though we didn't go inside.





After Versailles we drove back to Paris and bid farwell to the Casier's. We met Krystle and Ace for a late lunch. As we were sitting there I was spotted two familiar faces walking past the cafe (Peter and Helen Mahoney) so I ran outside to greet them leaving everyone at the table very confused. We arranged to met later as Luani and I were staying with them later.


When we arrived at the Mahoney's we were given the grand tour which was followed by a walk around the Eiffel tower and along the Seine with Helen while Peter worked his magic in the kitchen upon our arrival home we were treated to Peter's superb cooking and were given our first lesson in cutting cheese
