Some of the calls from the trip...

'Et Toi', which according to an Australian surfer we met means 'And you bro?'

Bugger. Single utterance by HS after episode in druidish ruins within sleepy hillside Italian town.

'Je m'appelle trois Heinekens'. Steve at bar in Biarritz, France asking the locals if his name was three Heinekens.

'Merci Monsieur'. 'Cheers bro'. Steve yet to master the reciprocal arrangement of the French language while wine tasting at a Rhone vineyard.

'Oh Justin. You can't do that - we're in France now.' Steve admonishing Justin for reverberating his plastic seat in a small French pizzeria. Steve was caught with his finger embedded to the knuckle up his right nostril at the time.

'Me sell t-shirt.' Justin explaining his upcoming vocational reponsibilities to our French speaking host. Unbeknown to Justin at the time he also spoke perfect English.

'You drink red wine, then martini, then red wine!' 'Yes.' HS not quite catching on to the etiquette of not mixing drinks from our irate French host.

'Grrrrrr.' Justin after almost drowning, an unfortunate blackberry incident and then backing the van into a tree in a forest in the south of France. The boys received a bottle of red wine on their laps for his efforts (but it was worth it).

Reece & Steve - cheers for sharing the good and not so good times. Definitely there next time around. smooches -h
