catacombs of paris.




if you don't mind being underground, this place is worth visiting if you happen to find yourself in paris. it's pretty mind boggling...



however, not for the faint hearted or 'nervous' as the sign says upon entry..

brighton girls.


in late july, 10 antipodian ladies escaped rainy london and headed for the sunny seaside city of brighton..


it was a fleeting one night stay that went much too fast for my liking, we stayed in an immaculate garden apartment, cooked together, hit the brighton nightlife, basked in the sunshine, walked and walked and walked some more and enjoyed copious amounts of pimms and punch..


and tiffy found pop tarts - possibly close to the best day of her life
