Farewell England





















The time has come to leave London, we are going to see We Will Rock You tonight and then tomorrow morning bright and early we are on a train to Paris, today we got up early had breakfast and went to the laundromat where there were 1/2 dozen other Australians doing there laundry it was like old home week, after that we toured to Portabello Road in search of that elusive pocket watch but no luck im afraid still there is France and Italy still to go?? from there we ended up at the British Museum what a fantastic place the English managed to pillage treasures from all over the world for their amusement, in reality if they hadnt a lot of the beautiful things on show would have been lost forever!!









We are resting up and packing now for our trip so until then i will say cheers and Goodbye England.









Love you all Ralf & Sam &MM xxx









PS; Trish I really really really appreciate all the great blogs you are leaving thankyou thankyou thankyou!!









PSS: Alex sooooo sorry about missing the blog but we were absolutely shattered last night and with the internet issues i just couldnt keep my eyes open.









PSSS: Molly great to hear from you and congrats on the contract heres hoping for a full time job for next year.









PSSSS: Lynny great to hear from you and Sammy is soaking up all of the wonderful history here and in her own words is " Loving it Sick "









Till next time The Marx's xx

  1. Hey there Ralf & Sam!

    I got a lift to work this morning with Tig - so I am getting to see all of these photo's first! Beautiful.

    Ah yes - Laundromats in London - always a great place to meet fellow Aussies - go figure. We used to get a few travel hints from places like that! We all llove sharing our best finds!

    Love the photo's - so glad you found Portobello Road - shame that you haven't found the watch that you are after.

    Sorry - have to fly - got calls coming in.

    Love Alex

  4. Hello there lovelies

    Well - looks like you have had a grand time. Nearly time to say farewell to old england forever........

    If you are looking for the Paris treasure hunt - look at the next page of the blog - it is all there.

    Have a great time on the train - loved it. Sammy - yes the tunnel is a little long - but you will be able to get up and move and it won't feel as bad as the plane! Shame you are going just the one way - on the way back from Paris you get wine with every meal - and yes - that includes breakfast! Oh well - you will have to make the most of it when you get to Paris! Enjoy - I loved it until the quatre fromage incident - but I want to go back again!

    Lots of love
    Trish

  5. Hi guys - enjoy Paris and Italy. Loved Venice

    John wishes who both well, he is coming over next week to catch up, although he says he is under enormous stress. I thought what would Ralf say to him if he mentioned this so I said toughen up princesss. I think he laughed.

    Had to put the brown chicken out of its misery he couldn't get up. Did the humane thing. Sorry to pass on such bad news.

    If you travel by the train in Paris just make sure the ticket sellers don't try and rip you off. They tried that on me.

    Keep enjoying your well deserved holiday, all's well back at the ranch.

    Cheers guys Gerv
