    Then we visited a market and then once again Ham insisted we all better eat and have a drink. So we did.


    Elaine had to leave us then because she was being picked up from the hotel to go off to soundcheck etc for the gig ... also she was staying in another hotel that night with the rest of the band and organisers.
    As we approached one square, they were getting ready for a parade to celebrate the bretons association with ireland.


    There were lots of Breton Tartans


    Ham too was wearing a Breton Tartan and soon got into conversation, although I will let him tell you what it was ... it is amazing


    Then we all took off to the bar next to our hotel to watch the six nations .. italy v wales in Rome ... Wales won

    Next morning we were up early and met Elaine back at the station. It was a glorious morning.

    Back in Paris, we took a taxi to our next hotel

    Just before reaching Notre Dame we were mobbed


    Inside Notre Dame




    Han was exhausted and insisted on going for another drink and sit down. A little cafe by Notre Dame


    Then onwards to the Latin Quarter




    Ham was hungry by now so we went to another restaurant for food and drink in the latin quarter

    We were up early again mon and soon opposite Gare du Nord having a coffee


    Then a quick pic before crossing to the station


    Once again on the Eurostar, food and drink was soon brought to us much to the delight of Ham




    Only to soon we were back in London, so decided to finish off with a drink in a little pub close by.


    And thats where we parted in our taxis and made our ways home.
    We all had a great time.
    Thats it
