Venture out at 1:30 pm. Stop and have omeletes and grill cheese for brunch. Go to Grand Palais and the Luxembourg gardens (awesome gorgeous sunny day) Then head over to the Pantheon and University of Paris. Most things closed and very quite wandered around St. Germain and went into chocolate shop and to hiking skiing shops. End up after wandering a …

Hayley had come to Paris for the weekend with her exchange family in Bourg St Maurice, so we organised to meet her, her host sister Tania and her host mother Veronique. They had already been up early and seen the Eiffel Tower, and were heading to the Louvre next. We met them outside the Louvre pyramid,located in the middle of the courtyard in front …

Today we were up early and on the Metro to see Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame. We got to Notre Dame in time to here the choir sing. They were both breath taking. We enjoyed Stawberry Crepes and strolled the streets of Paris for a while just to take it all in. We grabbed some groceries for a picnic but it started to rain so we had our picnic back at …

You will be delighted to know that I found my bunny shop, and am now in possession of one cute rabbit. However that was the end of my day, not the beginning. I set off this morning with only vague intentions; I thought I might head up to the Jardins du Luxembourg, on the other side of the Seine and up from the Louvre. I took a train to the Louvre …

Llegamos a Paris de tarde, tipo noche. Salimos del aeropuerto y tomamos el metro...ya teníamos algo de experiencia en eso, ya que cuando partimos el viaje pasamos unas horas en Paris. Entonces, compramos el boleto de metro, le dijimos a la nińa del counter donde íbamos, nos explicó y listo....eso si, nos advirtió del peligro del metro a la noche... …

It was a very busy day for us, today. In the morning, we met up with Jamie, Josh's friend from college. They met when he was studying in Manteo. She is finishing up her last year at Carolina this year and studied abroad in Paris this semester.

We had to ride the metro to go meet her and when we got off we saw a long line of people waiting …

Wow, Paris! You have surprised and delighted us on our return to you, from the first moments we arrived and parked in the underground garage near the apartment we are renting. We were definitely frazzled and a bit discombobulated, but the clerk at the parking garage offered us the use of his phone to call our rental agent. No dealing with payphones …

I left Amsterdam having had my fill of the city. It was beautiful but I was eager to see the famous city of light. Transportation is one of my major expenses, and the cheapest way to go is usually a bus. I was able to find a decent price to Paris through Eurolines.fr. I hopped on to the coach with a bunch of hung-over kids and we headed south for …

Vasárnap este hatkor érkeztem meg az Orlyra, ahol már várt rám Bruno. Egészen vagány dolog egyedül utazni, csak az a hátránya, hogy a Ferihegy 1 amúgy is minimális WC-fülkéjébe be kellett vinnem magammal a 16 kilós hátizsákomat is, mert nem volt, aki vigyázzon rá. De végül is megoldottam.
A gépen rengeteg francia volt, nem is beszélgettem …

Sort of forgot about the blog for a few days which is is a bit of a shame. The drive around the Loir (an offshoot of the Loire) was great. Saw a proper Chateau, cave houses - troglodytes.....Ha. Then a good drive back to Le Mans and to the track where they hold the 24 hour race. Recommend this - cheap and heaps of the cars there. Plenty of pictures …
