In PARIS Finally!!!
We've made it after many years of dreaming I'm finally here. Wow it's crazy, can't read anything, have no idea where we are or where we're going or what we're doing or how to find out cause we can't speak or understand anything/one! Even the keyboard is different & confusing! Is it any surprise?
Ian you'd love these motorways, it's great not having to worry about your spead limit & cruising along as fast as you like, as long as you keep out of the way of those going much, much faster, & do they go fast, even the little old ladies tear down the road.
We took the 1am night boat from UK to Calais (as that was the cheapest), slept on the side of the road for a few hours (that's one good reason about having a car, it's our third night in it now & we're a bit smelly!!!) & then spead off down the motorway, me crying with excitement, joy & sheer amazement that I've finally made it.
We hit Paris in a mad frenzy as I missed the last petrol stop & we were now on empty, managed to turn off & find a gas station ($100 AUS to fill, FUCK!)
I then nearly had our first crash as I'm leaving, GREAT START!!!
So then I was stressed, lost, confused & flustered, but still we drove around in circles until we found somewhere to park & try & find out where we are & what we're doing & we're still struggling to do that!!!
Oh well the real adventure begins as we navigate foreign languages & places.
Any tips at this stage are greatly appreciated as we flounder our way around the maze!
Our little car we bought has turned out to be a good one, I'm amazed at myself & my ability to pick them, considering I know next to nothing about cars. It's comfy to sleep in thank goodness, plenty of room for our luggage without being under our feet, (as long as I don't fill up the gaps with crap), & hopfully cheap on petrol after our last fill-up, It's also great to have the freedom & convenience to get around.
Time's up, hope to be in Paris for 2 weeks, providing we can find some freeloaders to help us, then we'll head out into the country side. Let you know what it's all like Mim.
Choa for now XXXXX

Hi Mazz & Kyle
sent you an email, so hope you get it. Just one tip we found (20 yrs ago) wear on your clothes something that tells them you are Aussie & if you can on the car as well you will find they will know english and are willing to help you.
Love Ev
Sounds like your having a great trip. I'm counting the days till I see you guys again. Best Wishes Rory
