Leaving Paris to Sete

Ok so the title isn't very imaginative but it sums up what we're doing... Since our last blog we've been up the eiffel tower, on a boat tour of paris and scott has news of his health...
Dani wants me to tell you how i got food poisoning, was throwng my guts up and how she took brilliant care of me, spending most of the day looking after me. I wish i could deny this but unfortunatley thats actually a pretty accurate account of how things happened.
I find it quite ironic that that was after we went out for dinner, so the one night we actually had food prepared in a kitchen rather than outdoors on a trangia he was ill. Anyway i hasten to reassure you all that he returned to full health very quickly after my tender loving care.
(And after 24 hrs not eating, which any of you reading this must know me well enough to know how hard that is for me.) he has since attempted to buy 20 pain au chocolat and croissants , so he must be fine! Dani also banned me from buying that many because we're only here for 3 days, and now we've ran out after only 2 breakfasts. Silly girl.
Anyway, talking of cooking we have had some rather interesting meals...
Our first trangia cooked meal - Sweet Potato and Tomato Risoto;
Ingredients (serves 2/3);
1 sweet potato
1 leek (preferably one that has had a nice days sight seeing before serving its purpose as a meal - ours particularly enjoyed seeing the sights of Paris from the top of the eiffel tower)
Half an onion
2 tomatoes
150g tomato puree
250 ml white wine
250 grams of rice (we may have been making rissotto but we could only find long grain rice, it worked)

Method;
1) Dice and boil the sweet potato, for like 20 minutes
2) Take weet potato off so you can use the trangia to fry onions, well travelled leek, and then after a few minutes add the tomato (obviously all finely sliced with your swiss army knife)
3) Fry these for about 5/10 minutes before adding the tomato puree and sweet potato 5 obviously drained off all water)
4) Add wine, start drinking the rest of the bottle, add rice.
5) Keep heating and stirring until rice is well cooked, adding water as needed (this is the bit we got too hungry for and couldn't be bothered with, leading to extremely al dente rice!)

Moving swiftly on, thank you all for your comments, we didn't really check them till the day we were leaving Paris so couldn't follow any of your reccomendations for the City. And Hero - I apologise for flying, we did try to avoid it, but any other option was about 3 times the cost and I couldn't afford it, and we're taking trains for the rest of our travels, which are like the best form of long distance travel for the environment, so we've been good there.
talking of which we took our first interrail covered train night before last... its possible that our interrail passes werent technically valid, as we left at 10 and they kicked in at midnight but it went ok. The Lady selling us the tickets said it was fine (because it was an overnight train leaving after 19.00, but I have a feeling thats for a different ticket slightly, and she just didn't understand our very broken french, so my complete incompetence with foreign language was a benefit for once, but no-one checked our passes on the train so we can never be sure if we would have been thrown off).
we got here eventually though, and sete is awesome! thankyou so much to Dave etc for letting us use the boat. Your letter didnt say anything about the sink, just to double check using it is ok (pouring water down it, but not using the taps). we're heading to monaco and then bolzano from there. Any tips of things to do here or even in Venice (the stop after Bolzano) would be much appreciated.
Lots of love to you all, thinking of you back home! Dani and Scott
