Dave calls this “A Study In Cream”; Stuart is as bored as ever with painting.  

 
Jorge is more interested in the tea break; chocolate chip hob-nobs!  

Christmas came early for Phil  

Stuart’s in charge. 

 I don’t think Dave heard his instructions properly!

 Stuart put himself in charge of cakes… 
…and the usual happened!
 
Let’s hope that Jorge has got a card! 

Meanwhile they’ve all got dressed up in their best black ties for a James Bond themed party tonight.  

Gibraltar has 56km on underground tunnels excavated over the last two centuries; Stuart has been unbearably excited about this.   

These tunnels are from World War II; they go up and down and right the way through the rock.

  

These tunnels date from The Great Siege.

 

They lead to a great big cavern, known as St Georges Hall, that contains lots of big old canon that defended the north face of the rock of Gibraltar.

  

Little windows let in fresh air; steel bars stop Minions from falling out.

 

There is light at the end of this tunnel.

  

Those mountains in the distance are Africa! 

  
There are Lions in Africa so Stuart’s not going to go there in case he gets eaten; he’s going to go back to the hotel and find something he can eat.

Stuart is in Gibraltar

Monkey! Stuart’s keeping well clear.

Stuart was warned about the monkeys but  not the giant grasshoppers! 

Castle.

Taking it easy back at the hotel. 

Outside the Louvre.
 A grey morning looking along the Seine to the Ile de Cité

 Wandering the back streets of the Latin Quarter looking for pastries and chocolate.  

The Cluny Museum of Medieval history is in an old monastic mansion and some even older Roman baths.     

At the Pantheon whilst Dave might be quite interested in some mural of some saint doing something saintly; Stuart is not. 

Thankfully Stuart and Jorge have cake.    
Finally a shot of the Eiffel Tower at sunset.   

Breakfast. These are Stuart’s; the others will have to find another Patisserie.   
Not so much a hunchback; more of a fat tummy!   

 A place like this would suit us fine. Unfortunately this mansion has been claimed by a Museum; we’ll have to find another.  

This place is really old, part of the old Royal Palace. Stuart likes it because it’s mostly underground.  

This is really new (compared to a 600year old vaulted hall), it’s the Pompidou centre. Jorge likes the word Pompidou, he thinks it sounds funny and has been saying it incessantly all afternoon. 

 Shopping at Galleries Lafayette; the central dome is spectacular. 

 Macaroons at Laduree… There were 4 Macaroons on that plate?
