Back to my favourite European spots and a Wedding!

It's been exactly three years since I returned from Europe to Australia. Much has changed and happened since I returned. I took a break from Nursing, met Dave! Yay! and am now back studying Midwifery, not to mention all the kids my friends have been having. Melanie is now on her second as is Meg, Michelle and Nevenka. Leanne is on her first and then there is Ava and Suz and I left! Sometimes I wonder whether when it will be time for me. It's not bad though. It's not like I am going grey or anything....or am I?

Anyway, I returned to Europe for the wedding of Pauline and Nicolas in Chateauneuf Grasse, just outside of Nice. I arrived in London to start with to catch up with girls from work and the frenchies, then headed to Geneva to catch up with another friend who I met in Nice three years ago. Geneva was hot! but lovely to see Cassandra and her beautiful boy Aiden. After Geneva, I travelled to Nice for the wedding which was like something out of a magazine or movie. Every detail thought of...the scene was spectacular, set on the hill overlooking the valley's below, drinks in an olive grove of Nicolas' parents villa. The food, and weather and everything was amazing. Photos of the bride and groom below in a link to their website where you can view a video as well.

After the wedding and a couple of days recovery of shopping, swimming, and eating and drinking I headed to Paris to meet up with Cath, my New Zealand friend who I knew well in London. We had an amazing few days walking around eating amazing food, sitting and eating our baguette underneath the Tour de Eiffel. After Paris, I visited friends in Luxembourg for a few days and then headed back to Melbourne to start back at Uni.

I have uploaded a few shots of my favourite spots here.
