After the family departed for their separate corners of the UK, Bruce and Andrea loaded up their bikes and made a break for Macclesfield Train Station. We were on our way to London and then on to Paris on the Eurostar (where bicycle tickets cost the same as people tickets)! We made great time into both stations and even got to see the top of the Eiffel Tower on our way into Paris.

After cycling down the Canal... We found the apartment, with it's totally 70's orange tile entry way and didn't quite break the lift with our heavy duty bikes.

Several things went wrong at once... cell phone stopped working, Bruce's front brake got twitchy, SPOT tracker wouldn't ping, and internet in the apartment was as slow as it was in 1990.

But, nothing can hold Bruce and Andrea back from success so...

-John has already taken over the task of the cell phone

-McDonalds was found with appropriate 2013 speed internet

-Front brake fix was YouTubed and successfully carried out

-SPOT Pings in Paris ... DONE!

Tomorrow (we take over the world...) or maybe we will just go to Versailles, Notre Dame, eat at a Boulangerie (french bakery)...

The World is Ours!

So envious of the two of you it already looks like a great trip. The bags look massive! You should weigh the bags now and then at the end to see what the difference is. Will you get rid of more things that you accumulate (The rug doesn't count!
