Boom

Thunder and lightening in Paris and finally some rain after many hot dry weeks. I know nothing about meteorology (or even if I have the right word there) but I wonder if being on a larger land mass makes for louder thunder, brighter lightening and a more impressive storm than I've ever seen in NZ. I have actually jumped a couple of times as the thunder has crashed through the night.
I'll quickly finish up telling ya bout my holiday. After Switzerland we drove up towards Strassbourg, but stayed on the German side of the border and went to Europa Park for a two days. I hadn't been to a theme park since I was about 11 and it was so much fun. I screamed my throat sore for the first three rides but it's funny how you get kind of used to the pure terror of plunging down 7 stories and then going upside down and all at terrifying speeds. Trop cool.
And the teacup ride, well that was definitely some scary times.

Last weekend Dave from Dunedin was in Paris for a couple of days so we got to catch up play tourist for a couple of hours. He takes even more photos than I do, so it was good not to get told off for having my camera out all the time.
