Told off in France part 2

I have been told off again. 

Z and I went out for a drink and because we were leaving for London the next day I was trying to get rid of all of my coins when paying the bill. I started to count out my  1 and 2 euro cent pieces when the waiter came over and started saying ' no lady I don't accept them you must pay real money' i thought ill pay the bill but leave the copper as it was weighing down my purse. He chased me down the street yelling I told you lady no copper coins. I laughed z said cant you count we paid the right money the coins were a tip! I have never been yelled at for a tip. 

In laudaree buying macaroons lots of decisions for the children to make. I was trying to get a final tally on quantities and which ones and was told by the man behind the counter to stop speaking and to listen to what he had to say. I was not happy and the kids got a free macaroon. 

The final one was a real nail bitter. There has been a very grumpy man at the front desk at our hotel but today he decided to be my friend. He said he would order our taxis to take us to the train station gard de nord. We agreed on 10am. During the course of the morning we changed the time to 10.30 (even the youngest confirmed he heard me say 10.30). We went out for breakfast and upon our return he was frantic the 9.30 am taxis were here and you are not here and the meter is running. Z and eldest child were out doing final shopping so I said very politely. Sorry I said 10.30 we don't require those taxis we need them at the right  time,  besides my husband and daughter are not back yet so we can't leave. He said someone must pay and it must be you. I explained that it was not my fault. He suggested we go halves.  I declined his generous offer. Needless to say the minute the others got back we had to leave the hotel and find our own taxi on the busy streets of Paris. 

I'm not sure if I will be allowed back in this city/country. I hope so because I adore the theatrics and promise to learn more French upon my return.  I will however not back down from an argument

Love love love Quebec City

We arrived in Quebec City via train on New Year's Eve. We were happy to say goodbye to montreal. Despite our local being the Gaspar tarvern and the food sensational the city is largish and very cold. We knew that we would love Quebec City before we got here as it involved a train trip to reach our destination. We are big fans of train travel. You often leave the middle of the city and arrive in the middle of the city. Taxi rides from airports to the city I often find depressing as you usually don't drive through the nice part of town. The train trip was 3 hours long and you don't have to be there hours before. We were given priority boarding because of the children but we were also scolded for having the children push the large bags!  We arrived in the heart of Quebec City to snow. It fell lightly at first but gathered momentum at great speed. Our hotel in the old town was beautiful and apparently hosting a big party for New Years. We decided not to join them and dined at a...

We arrived at the very top end of the Northern Territory we arrived hot and tired but a cold drink as we sat and watched the water buffalo and wallabies around our clamping experience erased the pain of the journey. John our guide was an absolute pleasure. We ate well and enjoyed an air boat ride in search of crocodiles

Christmas in lake Louise

We have just spent a week in a winter wonderland. We arrived in banff on 20th December and stayed for 3 nights at banff springs fairmont hotel. I have a always been an economy air travel kind of girl and spend the money on the accommodation. Banff springs was like a castle in the snowy mountains. It was big, luxurious but intimate at the same time. Plenty of spaces to have a drink by the fire, enjoy a game of pool (which the kids loved) and a very sizeable gym. The service was outstanding. There were daytime movies (in a proper cinema with popcorn) and the most incredible thing was that the hotel welcomed pets! So it was not uncommon to see a puppy dog walking through the corridors of the hotel with its owners. Banff is known as a party town (ever since Harry Nina worked here it got it's reputation) it's a beautiful small town (about a 10 minute freezing walk from the hotel) it's about 4 blocks by 3 streets long and is just small enough to give it the cute tag. At banff spr...
