I woke up late today because jetlag really hit me last night and I'm still pretty much on Australian time. We had breakfast late in our apartment and then ventured out into a cold rainy day that ended with a short burst of hail. When it started hailing, I jumped into it for a moment and it felt like stones were hitting my face. Today, we took it easy and just went to the Pompidou Centre and the Forum des Les Halles to poke around. I wanted to go to the Eiffel Tower but Dad said it would be much better on a sunny clear day than a cloudy one because then the view will be much better. I had a chocolate crepe for lunch and it was delicious. We are going to a brasserie that has pasta for dinner tonight. We are having dinner early because tonight Air France have promised to deliver our luggage at last, so we must be home to receive it. Let's see if they can do it! Dad says it will be a customer service feat of epic proportions if Air France can actually please a customer! He found a whole site on the web devoted solely to customer service complaints to Air France. There was even one guy whose dog was lost by Air France! They never found it either! However, despite our suitcase saga, the French have been really fantasitic - so well-mannered and helpful! Everyone everywhere should be like them.
Bonjour Robbie! So pleased that you've been treated well by the French. Did you love the Pompidou Centre? It's quite weird, isn't it? But I loved it. Hopefully by the time you read this you'll have got your suitcases (and a change of clothes!) I laughed when I read about the lost dog...I was thinking that that could never happen to Roger...you would hear his loud growling meow across the airport! Chocolate crepe for lunch??? You're very lucky. Hope you manage to get a clear day for the Eiffel Tower. Don't forget that next weekend is Easter and almost everything will be shut. Thinking lots about you. Lots of love, Mum XXXXXX
