EUROPE 2024 : 5 Days in Hatfield, UK
Tuesday 9 to Saturday 13 July
We rented a big house in Hatfield with the London Greenfields for some R and R with the family.
.
We got to visit with good friends too.
.
Friends and family are a big part of why we travel these days. The weather was lousy but we were able to watch lots of cricket, rugby, football and Wimbledon on TV.
EUROPE 2024 : 5 days in London
4 to 8 July
A bit of summer in London! Except it was cold and wet every day! Luckily we had friends and family to meet up with, good bars and restaurants to hang out in, live music and theatre to enjoy. And we had a wonderful day at Cullen and Bronya's wedding!
EUROPE 2024 : Three days in Paris
We were happy to be back in one of our favourite European cities. We stayed in the quirky 25hrs hotel at Gare de Nord, for easy access to the Eurostar.
There are lots of pickpockets around the stations and tourist sites in Paris so you need to be aware of your surroundings. We used Uber rather than the Metro.
Monday
We went straight out to Boullion Chartier for dinner.
Then to Neil's favourite bar in Paris, Le Petit Cafe du Montmarte.
Tuesday
A later start and then we strolled the less touristy and less familiar bits of the 9th and 10th arr.
All roads lead back to Montmarte, Le Petit Cafe and Au Virage Lepic; our favourite bistro in Paris.
Wednesday
Salvador Dali often stayed at Hotel Meurice. They have a a Dali inspired, Phillip Starke designed restaurant, La Dali. We went for lunch. Extra good but ridiculously expensive!
Touristy wandering along the Seine and into the Latin Quarter.
Then an evening watching Wimbledon at The Moose. We've propped up the bar here watching sports over the years!
