Another day… more of the same. I’m not complaining. Exploring with Mr M. I swear this has been put up purely to create a photo opportunity. It’s pretty but not very comfortable. We went snorkelling. Bonkers. The reef/coral situation wasn’t good, apparently ‘El Nino’ destroyed most of it a few years back and yes, …
Today in pictures: There’s a strong possibility that tomorrow will be strikingly similar.
First of all… where is the sun?? No seriously, where is it? I’m cool with the humidity and the warm temperature… but… ahem, the sun? We arrived on the island of Mahe early morning and were a little disappointed to be welcomed by such grey skies, and then we got over ourselves and geesh… a …
Me and the boys took ourselves to the big smoke on Thursday morning; we had finally managed to get an appointment at the Italian Consulate for their passports and we thought we tagged along a visit to the Tate Modern and a mooch about. The weather was glorious and we had a blast. We caught …

Breakfast… Tuileries Gardens and amusement park with big the wheel and unforgettable views Le Louvre Musee d’Orsay Tour Eiffel Sacre Coeur After lunch: Pere Lachaise Cemetery (Oscar Wild was also buried there, but his tomb was covered in plexiglass because people kept leaving messages/graffity etc. so hard to take a decent pic) Atelier du Lumières, …
