Paris

Monday 24th May

The longest coach journey in the history of the world and a bottle of water leaked in my bag at Exeter so i had to leave my Henry James novel behind -what a shame! The Ferry arrived an hour late at Dover so we didn't board until 01.30 instead of 00.30 so a lovely sleepless night on the ferry, i couldn't even tempt myself with any duty free.

Tuesday 25th May

Arrive in Paris and made our way to Alys' apartment (Thank you Alys) in Michel bizot, we hope we didn't scare Kathy (Alys' flatmate) to death by just turning up at about 9 oclock in the morning when any sensible student is still wisely asleep.

Today all we did was sleep, the coach left us too knackered to do anything else.

Wedesday 26th May

The first day in gay Paree! That means we walked up the Eiffel Tower...and all the way back down again.

The view from the first level looking over the whole of Paris.

Shame about the millions of street sellers or 'the lucky lucky man' as Rob calls them. They wouldn't take no for an answer even if Rob said"Espanol, espanol". Walking definitley gave a whole new experience to the Tour Eiffel, my feet are still dead and it's Sunday. Rob on the other hand is as fit as a fiddle. Must do more walking when i get home. Being underneath the Tower was really impressive, you just don't appreciate the scale of it until you are right next to it!
