We left a cold and wet Melbourne.
Our flight was uneventful (apart from the horrid turbulence) and we enjoyed the benefits of Business Class including the lounge access but especially being able to get some sleep on the beds.
We felt quite fresh arriving in Paris CDG at 7:30am. Although the booked driver was a tad late, he was very friendly and got us to Blueys storage with no issues.
We managed to get to the shops before they closed at midday (being a Sunday) for a few essentials. We then found a lovely spot at the aire in Clermont (only 8km away) where we unpacked our suitcases. 
Poor Bluey had been regulated to the corner of the shed and was very dusty from his 2 year rest.
But to our relief he started and all other essential requirements are working … the water pump, fridge, hot water, house batteries. We were able to give Bluey a good wash before heading off.
Mark also replaced our bedside lights with ones that have a usb charger. The brake light also needed replacing.
By 5pm we were feeling pretty tired but managed to go for a short walk into the historic centre of town. Which didn’t disappoint. We are always impressed with the lovely buildings and the ambiance of the french villages. Not surprisingly we succumbed to sleep quite early.
Bonjour Mark & Mireille. We've been watching out for your blog....glad to see you've been reunited with Bluey and we look forward to following you on your travels. It's cold, wet & miserable in Perth so we're just a teeny bit envious but wish you both well, stay safe & have a great time. Cheers, Jan & Mike.
