Back in Paris - Photos

Get to Paris, Charles de Gaulle airport looks awesome, some weird fairy floss colours all over the place. It was very grey too which sucked but hey we're in Paris so who cares! We took a shuttle to the other end of the airport to pick up Jess (Mez and I lived with Jess in 2002, unit 1 Beaufort House reunion!)..Forgot how huge airports are and can't find Jess anywhere..But then we hear the familiar sounds of Jess and she hasn't changed much in the three years since we've seen her! We then spend a couple of hours getting around the airport and trying to work out what tickets we need to get to our hotel.. Finally get to hotel was a little further out of Paris than hoped, but what should I expect when the rooms were 12 euro a night but still was fun to stay in bunk beds again haha! Anyways we go to Montmartre and head to Sacre Coeur..of course we stop off at a supermarket and pick up some yummy cheese, baguettes, that yummo eggplant dip I had last time.. some wine etc... by this time it was around 5 pm and had become a beautiful afternoon...so we spent our time walking around Montmartre and stopped in a pub had some very expensive drinks..

When it became dark we walked around the red light district and visited the Moulin Rouge! Didn't have a late one because we were stuffed from travelling.. So we went back to our hotel for the night.. Saturday we went into Paris and did all the touristy things, Mez and Jess went to the Louvre to visit Mona and Milo, I went for a walk along the Seine and stopped off at my bridge, was nice to be back but pity about the weather.

Later we got some pics at all the touristy spots, met some kiwi's, asked were we were from, they said I looked like I was from Melbourne, best comment I have had in ages...besides someone who said I looked French later on in the day...Went to Notre Dame again.. We walked around the Latin Quarter and got some cheap falafel, I have been looking for a book for dad but couldn't find it..

We decided to go on a cruise on the Seine, Mez and Jess got some Barets, I had mine from previous visit, so we donned our Parisian headwear on the boat and had some lovely shots taken.. We walked from Notre Dame to Eiffel tower, took about 40 minutes or so







Later on when it got dark we climbed the Eiffel tower whilst it twinkled..

Spent Saturday night drinking horrible Champagne (Just call me Bubbles darling, everybody does, Champagne for everyone) and tried to have conversations with people that couldn’t speak English was funny I got out my French phrase book haha
Wake up really early and forgetting that it was day light savings...and I forgot that for some reason everything is shut on a Sunday in Paris , so there goes our day of shopping, dang because I really need some boots and a jacket it's getting sooo cold at the moment..



We make our way to Arc de Triumph walk around there and walk up and down Champs-Elysees, then it's time we make it back to Charles de Gaulle.... Mez and I say bye to Jess as she is flying back to Switzerland (Lucky girl is currently on a three week tour of Italy)...Mez and I get seats together this time....we forget that daylight savings happened so when we arrive back at Heathrow at 5pm it's pitch black.

Poor Mez has another flight back to Edinburgh so we hang around the airport for a bit then she checks in and I tube it back home to Acton which is only about 20 minutes...Big weekend back to work on Monday!!
