32 steps up a steep stairwell to get into our accommodation and then… another 20 stairs to the upstairs bedrooms. What a mission carrying our bags up. Narrow stairwells aren’t easy to manoeuvre. Lots of laughs. Not the best accommodation in London that’s for sure.Read more
Traveler Don’t tell me…. Kelly booked the AirBnB?!

Traveler Unfortunately the ‘photoshopped’ pictures were very well enhanced and the actual property is awful. Only 2 nights thank god and we are off to Paris today.

Day 3
Redemption for breakfast this morning
September 6, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Up early and been out for a walk in the cool. Brekkie is on its way. Headed into ‘town’, well trying to find a TK Max to purchase a new bag for me as mine has started coming apart at the seams! Australian product!!!
Anyhow, Louise went off with her mate Mimi, and the rest of us got on the bus. after getting on a bus (we are using City Tracker) and getting off at the ‘right’ stop, started walking towards Oxford Str. turns out we were going back to where we came from 😆. And did I mention it was bloody hot at 9am? I mean 25 deg hot….
Finally got back on the bus and went back to where we originally got dropped off from. Did lots of walking thru lovely shops, but not purchases cos we have to keep our bags under 20kg for the other flights within europe. Lunch at a lovely airconditioned pub, then down to Liberty to look at all the beautiful things.Credit cards were twitching but managed to stay firmly in their place.
Dinner out a Trullo, goregous italian restuarant that Louises friends son is the Head Chef. Food was glorious…shame our ‘kitty’ currency card decided to shit itself and blocked. So out came the mastercard and sorting that out tomorrow.
A very very hot day, got to 34 and of course we are not used to that. Feet swelling, sweat pouring…. Paris tomorrow and another hot hot day to come.Read more

Day 4
Paris
September 7, 2023 in France ⋅ 🌙 27 °C
Wow fabulous day going on the Eurostar to Paris. Met some really nice people on the train, England supporters. Gave them a lesson in Rugby history….well Kel and Susie did, i just chimed in now and then.
St Pancras station is amazing, a few extra photos…I am having a few problems with my feet swelling in this awfully hot climate. Today got 33 deg, tomorrow is predicted to be 35. The girls are saying its gonna be very fucking hot at the game. The rest of us peasants are gonna find a bloody cool pub to watch the game.

Nearly got duped by a ringer cab guy, quoted us €95 to bring us to our airbnb, we got a ‘proper’ taxi….€41…. glad we listened to the policeman.

Our airbnb has a problem, we are moving tomorrow…. poor maintenance has resulted in a bad leak. suffice to say we are all a little pissed off. ttfnRead more
Traveler Your feet! 🤣

Traveler Make sure you keep them elevated when you can. The weather looks so nice though... looking forward to the game tomorrow. I am sure it will be a great atmosphere there 🏉 Go Black! 🖤

Day 5
Moving day and fashion district living
September 8, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C
We made the decision to find alternative accommodation (somewhat more expensive) and got in an amazing Uber…off to the 2nd Arrissement….wow wow wow, we are all swooning. Fashion houses all over the place, unfortunately, they only sell to shops!!!!! Damn. Sure there will be many more to find though.
Just along the road is a great bar, had brunch there, Caesar Salads, Croque Madame, Peasants Salad, coffee and rose was the orders for our tums. The bar owner saw us wearing our All Blacks hats so came out with his World Cup T-shirts and hung them out the front… gave us a few “viva le france” and we gave him a few All Blacks back.
Quick walk up and down one street, and back for a rest. Its 3.07pm and 33 Deg… my feet are much like balloons….. so back to the fab new apartment for a rest.
Kelly and Suzie are getting ready to go find the metro and make their way to the stadium, whilst the rest of us are going to wander 50m to either the bar in the picture or find an Irish pub which is 800m away. No wait caller, Louise is deciding on changing the plans…. update ya later.Read more
Traveler Just up here nw to start watching the pre match coverage. Looks like such fun there!
