Paris

Gav and I set off early in the morning to get the Eurostar to Paris. I love the Eurostar! So easy from Central London. We arrived at Gare du Nord and tackled the Paris Metro to get to Montmartre. At first we thought we'd picked the biggest ghetto in France to stay in, but it was mainly just a really crap street, and it grew on us so that by the 4th day we didn't really care - at least we got brekky every morning!

Paris is beautiful - we did loads of sightseeing and wandering/getting lost around the city. Because we didn't really plan anything ahead of time, we actually spent quite a bit of time figuring out our next steps.

Whilst in Paris we went to the Louvre, wandered along the Seine, ate French food (mmm crepes, patisseries!), drank French wine (under 2 Euros woohoo), climbed Montmartre to the Sacre Coueur (I know I've spelt that wrong), ascended le Tour d' Eiffel, visited the Artist's Square, went up the Notre Dame, walked the creepy skull-lined tunnels of the Catacombes, saw the Moulin Rouge, and so much more!

It is a pretty magical place - it's a shame we didn't have better weather. But we still had an amaznig time! Although by day 5 Gav and I were desperate to get out to the countryside and relax.... hmmm....
