Quick update
Hi all,
Sorry we've been a bit slack with the postings, yes we are still alive though! Over the past few weeks we've been to Oslo and Paris and are going to Copenhagen in a couple of weeks.
Oslo was nice but expensive, for example, about $20 aussie dollars for a bottle of beer in a nightclub. In most restaurants a main course was about $50 aussie dollars so we only ate out once! The rest of the time we bought stuff from the supermarket, however even that was expensive. We also bought booze duty free and drank at the hostel before we went out. It wasn't as cold as I expected, about 6 - 7 degrees most days and not a lot of wind.
Paris was great, I liked it a lot more this time than I did when I went 3 years ago. My dislike of Paris last time may have had something to do with the fact that I had a chest infection and a rash, not to mention the fact that I had been drinking for 2 weeks solid on a contiki tour! We had heard some friend's horror stories about crime in parts of Paris (mainly muggings), luckily we didn't encounter any trouble really, except for a crazy old homeless guy that tried to push Patrick over in the park. Went to see a show at Lido when we were there - similar to Moulin Rouge apparantly. The price was pretty steep, however it DID come with free champagne - YEEHAH!!!!! The show was pretty amazing, at one point there was actually a water fountain and a waterfall on the stage. Patrick was pretty pleased cos the dancers had their tits out ;-) Doesn't take much to please men, does it?
Other than that not much happening. Patrick's got plenty of work leading up to Christmas which is nice. We're spending WAY too much money though! It's just the lifestyle over here - you end up going out during the week a lot. We've had quite a few nights out recently where everyone's been drunk and someone says "let's order a bottle of Moet!" and it's all downhill from there. Then you wake up the next morning with a pounding headache and no money, with your mouth tasting like someone's done a shit in it during the night. Ah...... gotta love hangovers!
I'd better be off but we will be posting our most recent photos soon so stay tuned!
Cheers to all!
