First Day in France

Hi Team
Just a quick update. Today we arrived in Paris after the long, long flight from Brisbane. The plan for today was to stay awake as long as possible to avoid the jetlag. After landing at 7.30am and dropping the bags off at the hotel it was a quick trip into the heart of Paris for some sightseeing and a beer while watching Cadel win stage 4 of the Tour De France. Here are a few happy snaps!
Cheers Gilly
