We like light classical music and also 60s and 70s music at the moment we particulary like the music of Andre Rieu and his orchestra, We like reading short stories and some novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most funny thing we did was get lost in Paris at around 11pm. We had arrived in Paris and the bus drove into the carpark no one thought to look at the name of the hatel and at about 10.30 in the evening, 12 or so of us went into town to see the eiffel tower when we came out of the tower no one new the name of the hotel as we had been taken to the tower by the hotel's shuttle bus. It took us 3.5 hours of walking, searching, stopping at various cafe's to quench our thirst and lots of serious laughter to find our way back. Breakfast the next morning was at 7am our jaws were to sore from laughing the night before , We could hardly eat a thing.
