Montpellier Monday August 19

Not sure how much I’ll be posting in the next couple of weeks, as I’ve realised that it might detract a bit from the whole “French language immersion” thing.

Pained

My throat is still very sore, I phoned Simon in the middle of the night* to ask if I should start antibiotics but he said no, there’s be no benefit and I’d just end up with diarrhoea and thrush.

Paris Aug 17

My first 24 hours in France have been pretty successful.

Paree

I have arrived safe and sound at my little hotel in Paris, the Hotel D’Amiens.

Changi airport

Sitting in my plane, waiting for everyone to board so we can head off to Paris.
