Last night in Europe!
After a long and exhausting day full of activities we returned to our accommodation to sign the flags, there are four so that each school will be able to display them. Some students were willing to brave the rain and go out once more as a final goodbye to Paris.
Dressed up to go out for one last crepe and to experience Paris at night.
What a gentleman, giving up his coat for the lady.
It has been an amazing trip, but in a few short hours we'll be heading for the airport and then home. See you all soon!

Last day in Paris and last touring day of the trip!
Another big day full of activities to fill up the last touring day of the trip before we leave for Sydney. We went shopping at Galleries Lafayette, had an extended lunch at Sacré-Cœur including a stroll through Monmatre the artists precinct of Paris, then to Champ de Mars for another look at the Eiffel Tower and some photographs. It was also Mrs Burraston's birthday today, we all sang for her this morning a cake is organised for later and we enjoyed a delicous meal at outside Sacré-Cœur.

2nd full day in Paris
Another very busy day in Paris, we went to the Arch de Triomphe early this morning and ascended the 284 steps to the top for another view of the Paris skyline unfortunately again in the rain. After we headed for te Palace of Versailles and took a tour of the rooms and grounds. In the afternoon we were also able to squeeze in some more shopping at the Champ Élysées.
