Paris

Last time I blogged we were in Paris, but I hadn't said much about it. As we go on through Europe we are finding it harder and harder to find time to sit around & write the blogs, partly due to being so busy, partly due to where we are staying. So I will try and keep going, but they may become less detailed as I always seem to have a lot to catch up on!

The first few days in Paris it was just me & Ben. We were staying in a hotel north of the centre and had a wonderful room, complete with the opening windows and small balcony Paris style. It was ridiculously cleche, and we giggled about this as we stood out there eating our baguettes watching Parisian life go by...

The next 4 days we were joined by Bens mate Blair & his missus Pippa. It was so good to have people to hang out with & make bad jokes with, we really enjoyed having them there...in the end they joined us in Nice as well, but we have since parted ways & Blairs in Barcelona, Pippa in London & we are in Pisa...anyway

Paris is so jammed packed with things to see & famous landmarks that I wont go into detail on everything we did but over the 8 days we covered Notre Dame, Arc de t
Triomphe, the Louvre - which is free on Friday nights for Under 26's so get onto that! Moulin Rouge, Champs De Elysess, The Eiffel Tower, the Catacombes, saw Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde & Chopin's graves, we ate criossants & baguettes, drank wine & relaxed in the parks. It was Paris...what else is there to say.

I think the thing that got to me the most & will be one of the most memorable experiences of my life was the Catacombes, Just to be walking through passages made of millions of human bones was really surreal. Yet oddly I was not as freaked out by it as I thought I would be. But definitely something that everyone should do if they come to Paris, Thats my tip for the day.

Well I'll leave it at that for Paris, from a strange turn of events we can now upload photos again, so eventually I will get it all happening and add them onto the blogs. Otherwise facebook may be updated sooner.
Hope everyone else is having as much fun as we are!

Much love xxx
