Howdy Guys,
I’ve been all over the place… got a few detailed posts written on my PDA, but I don’t have wireless internet access at the moment, so it’ll be a while until they get posted, and probably even longer until I get photos posted.
In summary, the tour group I’m with are great … there’s 46-ish people in total on the tour, and all bar three of them are either Aussie or Kiwi (even split), the others are one Londoner, and a Welsh couple.
Spent two nights in Paris, France, and currently on the second day in Interlaken, Switzerland…
Went up the main mountain here … uhm, Mount Jorgenfrausomething… (yeah, it’s only 5:30, and I’ve already forgotten the name of it) … it’s the tallest mountain in Europe, Jungfraujoch covered in snow, has an Ice Palace, and all sorts of other interesting stuff… Went on the Cog Railway to get up there, which took us through some very nice places.
Tomorrow we get back on the bus and head to Annecy, France(?), with lunch in Geneva (sounds fancy, eh?).
Anyhow, off to do other stuff, some postcards should be on their way shortly (I need to find somewhere to get stamps, forgot to do that when I bought them… in Paris), just a few people, sorry — it took me over an hour last night to write them (yeah, I prefer tapping on my PDA to writing, much neater, and gets to lots more people quicker too, sorry).
It’s all very busy, even though we have lots of “free” time, we end up going to various different places (too many to name right now… wait for the detailed posts)
Hope everyone’s good.
Bye!

Hi Will. Sorry to hear your tour group is not more diverse - at least they all speak a form of English so you can communicate!!
Did you go to Lucerne? If so I hope you managed to see and photograph the Lion Monument dedicated to the Swiss Guard who died defending the Tuileries Palace in Paris - I believe it’s one of the most soul stirring memorials to the dead I have ever seen.
Take care & continue to enjoy. Love, Robyn

We want more photes, glad to hear you are having fun. we are all very envious, you have to keep up the posts ause there are a lot of people watching your travels. you should tell people what you are going to do next and that way we can tell you what you should do and then you could ignore it and go ahead and have your own fun! Anyway thanks for sharing your holiday.
