Tram & Paul in the UK

On the 26th of December, 2004 the day the world will remember as the day of the Tsunami. Paul and I were heading to a Chateau in Bordeaux. The scene was set with 4 star hotel in the middle of a vineyard and a beautiful restaurant. We had a 6 course meal of the finest French cuisine and a nice bottle of Bordeaux Wine.

After the desert, I told Paul how much I loved him and asked him if he would marry me. Paul said ‘of course’ and I gave him the ring. We were both so happy and wanted to tell everyone and you all would have got a text message that night. I was one of the most memorable days of my life.

After the excitement of the proposal we headed for the ski fields of Cauterets. Paul was born to ski but not snowboard. He even managed to complete a few blue runs. Well I hope you enjoy the photos and we can’t wait to go home and have a huge engagement party!!!

Resturant at the Chateau Relais Margaux. This was before I proposed to Paul.

Paul's ring, which he wore proudly.

This is a door in the centre of Bordeaux, which is the entrance to their shopping strip.

A Cathedral in Bordeaux which looks like Notre Dame and it had a ice skating ring in front of it.

The hotel de ville, which is like our city hall. But really nicely lit up for Xmas.

The also have a beach close to Bordeaux which had huge waves. It was not a very nice day but it was still really cool to see the ocean again.

This is us with our family in Bordeaux on Christmas day. They open their presents the night before christmas instead of on Christmas morning.

We did a wine tasting tour. This chateau was run by a man who was obsessed in wine and horses so he had heaps of horse carriages as well. We learned a lot about wine and even bought a bottle.

This is one of the houses on the property. It looks really haunted.

This is the Chateau Marguax which is very famous for its wine.

The ski fields of cauterets which is in Le Pyrenees. Its on the border of France and Spain.

I found some French Policemen to take a photo with.

On the last day we had beautiful weather for skiing. Here is Paul sunbathing in the snow.

For New years we went to a disco on the ski field which played french music and had line dancing. It was very enjoyable. Here is paul getting covered with foam.
