Day 12

Peter:
Today we went to the shops and I bought a new pair of shoes. They are heelys - shoes with wheels.
Then we went and picked up our car, then we went to Lyon and booked a hotel. It was boring.

Emily:

We woke up early enough to catch the transfer bus from 'Home Business Hotel" to Del Europe. Where we shopped in a massive, beautifully designed building - see photos. Peter bought his rolling shoes from a sports shop, but Rhys couldn't find anything he liked. I could have spent a fortune but had to hold myself back (rather Glenn did!!)
Caught bus back to hotel. Collected luggage.
Dragged luggage back on bus to Euro Disney's train station, then caught train to Paris Gare DuNord. We collected our hire car from here.
Oh my gosh, what a major panic, driving on the wrong side of the road, in a manual, with GLENN BEHIND THE WHEEL ha ha ha! He did extremely well, as there were roadworks, full on traffic everywhere - and we didn't know where we were going - thank goodness for GPS Nav.
Glenn provided much entertainment by getting his French language mixed up - he said 'Bonjour' instead of 'Au Revoir' to the receptionist, and when he was getting his hair cut, she asked him if he wanted more hair off, but he thought she was asking if he had been shopping, so he said a little bit! So off she went cutting his hair again - so funny!!!!
When we arrived in Lyon, we had not had any access to the Internet, so we hadn't booked in advance and we didn't know where anything was; we ended up in a dump which provided me with more freaky feelings. I was glad to get out of there.

Rhys:
This moring we left the hotel to go and pick the car up. I bought a new pair of shoes in Paris (Air Force 1).
Wow what an experience. Traffic in Paris is 1000 times worse than Sydney in peak hour traffic. After 4 hours of driving we ended up in the rough end of Lyon.

Glenn:
Had an interesting start to Friday, we started the day by browsing the shops in ValD'Europe and managed to get a haircut. The hairdresser asked me what I thought was "have you been shopping?' and I replied "just a little". She immediately started to cut my hair shorter and I realised what I had said, and laughed quietly to myself! Driving in Paris was an experience, only managed to get tooted at 3-4 times. Arrived in Lyon at around 8.30pm found a hotel to stay in, had no star rating and the best thing, they had a car parking space on the road. Finished the day completed exhausted and without Internet.
