Arrived safely at Epernay and staying in a wonderful B&B. The hosts do not speak any English, but karla's frenglish and some gestures doing fine. Spent first day, Karla's birthday, sampling one of the Champagne houses. It had 18km of underground tunnels and we went on a train ride 100ft underground showing us the vaults and some of the production. Kiera loved the rain ride, mum and dad enjoyed the champagne.
Later at night we went to a fantastic and posh restaurant for Ks birthday. Wonderful food and so many tasters from chef, commenced with champagne and then moved onto a Grand Chablis Cru that was one of the cheapest bottles at €71. The budget and my belly is well burst.
Am currently at Disneyland Paris where we have had a great day, but MacDonalds only wifi available.
Hope all well. More Champagne Houses tomorrow!
