It was great meeting you both! I had a lovely time and definetely enjoyed hearing about your home exchange experiencies. Oh, BTW, I am thinking of buying one of those code boxes – they look very useful specially when in need to give a key to a home exchanger. Keep in touch!

Same here! The box is really great. It also means that you don’t need to give people two sets of keys if they want to go out separately. They can just put them in the box when they go out and whoever gets back first can open it. It also means the keys won’t get lost! There are a couple of different sorts. The one we have at our house in Blois is actually simpler. I’ll send you a file.

I love that key box! I had never heard of anything like this. Definitely need one, too. Can you also send me the info, please? (I suppose you can change the code as needed?)
And another strange-coincidence-in-life thing: the friend I just spent the week-end in Barcelona with is planning a cycling tour along the Danube with her partner and kids for this summer… (and she also used to be a translator *g*)

Coming up! Available at places like Leroy Merlin, Bricorama, etc. Yes, you can change the code.
Strange coincidence, isn’t it? Maybe we’ll run into them on a bike path!
