Long day for Percy. Hat thief!

20121019-053716.jpg

Onwards to Venice. Not many photos of Percy in Venice as it isn’t really a safe place to be constantly opening and closing your handbag. He was there though!

Venice was very pretty

Percy went on a gondola ride and snuggled on the love seat with emma and Amelia

Yay, view from the bell tower. Which almost killed me to climb

There are no Percy pics at Pisa. I’m amazed there’s actually one of me. So hungover on the way to Switzerland!

20121019-054846.jpg

Percy in Switzerland (where he was very upset not to climb mt Pilatus on the cool train. Rah)

Percy was sad cos Mel was homesick and missing her beautiful nephew 😦

20121019-055306.jpg

The boat cruise and ferris wheel ride on lake Lucerne helped everyone cheer up though

PARIS!!!!! Hooooooraaaaay. Last contiki stop and almost the end of our adventure.

Up the Eiffel Tower! 2nd floor cos you couldn’t see anything but fog at the top (we still went up though)

20121019-055752.jpg

We saw the Mona Lisa at the louvre

20121019-055811.jpg

We climbed the Arc de Triomphe

20121019-055833.jpg

Moulin rouge was amazing. Percy stayed home for that one though

20121019-055851.jpg

He was sad to say goodbye to the bus mascot, a British bulldog!

20121019-055900.jpg

Percy and the rest of contiki were lucky enough to see the Eiffel Tower light up at night

20121019-060035.jpg

At the end of contiki we spent a few days in London! Not many photos of Percy here as I explored on my own a bit and he had to stay in the hotel room one day because I ran out of handbag space. He was there in spirit though!

He rode the tube a lot. Terrifying at first but I had it nailed by the end!

20121019-061610.jpg

He got a new buddy at the natural history and science museum! Baby T-Rex.

Important life lesson for all – don’t eat at heathrow airport….you will get food poisoning and suffer miserably for the entire flight!

  1. Anna has gone awol but I, Prunella, am in paroxysms of delight to see Percy gadding about in Europe. However, I am not in favour of him spending time with a bulldog and a ….? what is that critter? Such splendid photos which will help you reminisce about your favourite places and plan the return trip.

    I am going to save my pennies and take up residence in Prague when PlatyMum Mel and Percy return.
    Must away for a facial.
    Prunella…..xx

      Lol! Awww prunella, Percy and I will have to get together with you for a play date! Platymum is a word I am definitely adding to my vocabulary.

      Thank you for all your lovely comments prunella and Anna xoxo
