Glad to be back in Zurich for the great coffee.
I am of the belief it is not physically possible to buy a bad coffee anywhere in Zurich.
The Francis Francis has had a workout this morning after our disappointing coffee experiences in Paris – it is very hit and miss there, mostly miss.
We’ve just had a week in Paris. Firstly, I couldn’t get the notebook to work with the hotel wireless network, so this is the longest I can remember when I haven’t had internet access.

Not my usual type of blog entry, so here’s something I’ll blame on jetlag: English magazines are a little scarce in Zurich, so we brought over a stack of them for Michele’s sister. One of them was Womans Days (see blog photo entry below). Anyway, I was glancing through this and couldn’t help noticing the headline article about Danni Minogue and her fab new body. How has...
