Bonjour!!! :)
This is a big hello from Charlotte, Emily, and Jamie! We are absolutely loving France and it is absolutely amazing. We have had such nice weather (up till today which was a tad chilly) and we are now at the language centre. The classes have been quite challenging, but very fun so far, and we have already learnt so much by immersing ourselves in the language, and by ordering a lot of crepes, chocolate croissants and ice creams! Hope we still fit into our formal dresses when we get back, but we have been doing a lot of walking around the beautiful streets of Monaco, Villefranche, Cannes, and Antibes, taking in the breathtaking views! We especially loved the relaxing beach at Villefranche, and the cute streets of Antibes. We are all having a ball, and finally did some washing today. We can't wait to experience more and are looking forward to shopping in Avignon, climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower, the night bike tour, and Disneyland! Hope all is well in Adelaide!
Love Charlotte, Emily, and Jamie!
xoxo

  1. Fantastic blog girls. Hopefully the classes have delivered, as in, there is nothing better than the real deal and each and everyone of you will promote this tour as the best experience! The excitement is hovering today as tonight you will have a cut loose moment and hit the dance floor with fever! Make sure you guys find that french No.1. There will be nothing better than putting that CD on when you are all gathered again at Scotch. As soon as you here the music you will storm the dance floor and do the French jig. Shawn, Melissa and Sebastian included. Go you good things and have a well earnt celebratory moment. Involve everyone on the dance floor. Laugh, dance, sing and take care of each other!

Excellent news you've had such good weather so far too - hopefully it will continue. Lessons sound good....the language may be a little challenging but we know at least you are now so capable with it that you would never go hungry if ever lost in France! Charlotte it's also fabulous news to hear you do actually know how to do washing - excellent!! All is good at home and Dad (who's a very happy Melbourne supporter at the moment) & Jack say hello and send love.

  5. Hi there..hope you are all not too tired after the disco...look forward to hearing all about it!!
    Seems unbelievable that your time in Monaco is almost over - it has flown by here in Adelaide so cannot imagine how it must be for all of you. Guess it will be time to practice all the 'new' french language skills you have acquired in the classroom as you head on to the next adventure!
    Enjoy your last few days in such a spectacular spot and look forward to hearing about the next stage of the trip..hope the trains are running for you!

  7. Hi everyone, So glad to hear the trip is going well. Can't wait to hear all the travel stories when you return. Hope the train situation improves and the volcanic ash blows away for your departure.
    Love the Walkers
    PS Harri - Tiger has turned into one very fat cat in the last week, I have never seen her so large. Grandpa must have been feeding her some very delicious treats while we were away.
