We have a great time in France every summer - our first day was so funny with me entering into pc about a train journey we wanted to go on. I printed it out and passed it on to the girl at the local Gare, she took it all in and printed out the tickets, took euros and then said in perfect NZud make sure you are here 10 minutes before departure - turned out she was from a farm just north of Geraldine in the south island.
