Check!

On the trail of Amelie

Disneyland Paris: Yeah, I did it

Final days as Parisiennes.
When Brit and I got back to Paris from Copenhagen we were exhausted! We found the street with our hotel with quite ease but couldn't find the entrance. It turned out to be quite a dodgy looking street with lots of sex shops, strip clubs etc... We think it ...

Loving Paris already!
