À Paris

They say it is good luck if it rains in Paris on the first day. Well it didn’t rain on us but Paris certainly showed us how magical it could be. Katelyn got in last night after finishing her exam, saying her goodbyes to St Andrews, and rushing to the airport. She made it to the hostel with the help of some friendly Parisians and met Greg, Jen and Nick this morning. They were a bit weary from the bus, but we hit the town running.

Cheers, London

Heya London!

The overnight bus from Edinburgh to London turned out ok, albeit a bit too warm and snug for our liking. I guess we’ll have to get used to it since we’ve got a few more long bus rides ahead of us. We managed to get a spot of sleep, regardless, and weren’t terribly tired for the rest of the day.
