French Kiss
We arrived in France from Rome on easyjet more like frustratingjet! Cheap, but nasty! But anyhow they better not make us late back to Rome because we have to get another plane to Sicily the same day! We got a wedding to go to man!
We made our way to the hotel; which is on the left bank of Paris and generally close to monuments via the metro. The road in front of the hotel can be rather noisy but we bought some earplugs and it’s all good now.
We love the metro here. No matter where you are you are never too far from a metro station. As it was built so that stations are 500m apart. Makes for real easy travelling unless you end up going in the wrong direction!
We have seen most of the sights thus far see photies below- Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower- no we didn’t go up it as there was an hour wait just to get tickets, then 2 hours to get on the elevator- they only let 20 people on the elevator at a time, for this we have no patience and we not getting up too early!
The Louvre- the architecture is amazing in this building I think it was the most impressive thing there! The most famous painting is the Mona Lisa we saw this with 10,000 other people ugh, I dislike being a tourist some days. Its so beneath me… hee hee! Just left to do now is the Versailles Palace, Arc and the Eiffel (by night), the Picasso museum.
We have been sampling some amazing foods while here. It’s turned into a food fiesta… again! A Korean BBQ very very nice man, fantastic veggie restaurants, crepes for lunch today; we had Fondue @ Chez Du Fondus where we made some new friends and shared our fondues. (they had cheese, we got the beef) Drank red wine from a babies bottle! (see photo below!) David wouldn’t drink from the bottle so he asked for a glass and the waiter then proceeded to make fun of him! Maybe we will try frogs’ legs and escargot, but I am not so sure... neither is David! I am having a hard enough time dealing with eating animals at the moment… turning veggieish?! That’s a whole other story for a whole other time!
Today we went to Versailles but as the weather has turned a little we did not get to wander the massive gardens as we forgot to take a coat!. That’s Ok there is enough palace to fill in a day or three!Next blogger will be from Sicily probably after the wedding! The whole reason we are still in Europe. So blame Marty & Lou.
Stay tuned!
