Check this out.. I was trying to find some baby sites about pregnancy and what not and came across this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4624307.stm?ls creeeeeepppyyyyy... but sad.. wow.. I only managed to blog once the whole time I was on holiday with the family.. lol.. there are heaps of pictures and you can view them on my ringo account.. we stayed a while in Hampshire where Nana [Simon's Mom] lives.. took over her house during our stay and it was good to catch up with the Coles in UK.. :o ).. our trip to Europe was... challenging.. lol.. we started off on the wrong foot... almost missed the eurostar.. and we had non-refundable non-everything tickets for the 8 of us so... yeah.. and there were bags galore... even though we "packed light".. so if it weren't for the lady who took us through immigration and security we would have missed that train for sure.. we were the last ones to get on... the hard part was catching the trains to the Eurostar... geez... we had to go through two different trains with all our bags and it was packed like a mother*beep*... standing in a packed train with strangers breathing down your front and back is not fun.. lol.. but it was an experience :D ![]() ![]() ![]() we got to Brussels ok and managed to get our rental ok too.. and relaxed a while at Aunty Tupou's place... that was nice to just take a break after all the rushing and travelling... we then left for Germany the next day [Bochum] to visit a family friend... he's a photographer who usually comes to stay with us when in Fiji and has pretty much been part of the family... lol.. that was fun.. the only thing memorable about Germany was the FOOD... oh my.. cheeses and sausages and fruits... yummy.. I like the way those euopeans eat... managed to do some shopping there and maan.. I loved it.. the style for the men is different though.. they're into muscle tees and what not... couldn't imagine the Fijian boys rocking some of the stuff I saw... lol.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() we made our tracks back to Brussells after 4 days [I think] in Germany, going through Holland... didn't get to Amsterdam.. hehe.. but in my state... why would I want to lol.. got to aunty tupou's again.. EXHAUSTED... and had to get up early the next day to go to Paris... almost didn't go but the thought of coming all that way and not seeing Paris was pretty stupid so yeah... dragged my carcass out of bed and joined the family in the expedition to Pareeee... that city is beautiful... I've never seen any place like it... London is different, Brussells is different.. and then there's PARIS... the architecture is amazing... the bridges, the buildings.. there's so much detail in it.. sandstone everywhere... and statues... gold plated and glass and the beautiful river... I forgot what the hell it's called... there was just so much to absorb all at once... we spent most of our time at the Eiffel tower... didn't climb it or try to line up for the lift... fugg that.. it was way too long.. so just lay back on the grass and looked up at the tower and took pictures.. lol.. it was nice... and the best part was my whole family was there... including the one in my stomach... hehe.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() we were so tired after that.. slept through most of the trip back to brussells... and felt good to just knock out on a bed... i think we spent a day before going back to england... but we managed to almost miss the eurostar.. AGAIN.. lol.. oiawe.. but we were fine... at least we weren't the last ones on.. lol.. okie... I'll write about the rest of the trip in my next blog entry.. this is way too long..
