HEY EVERYONE
Well, I am a bit behind with my blog.
I had a fanastic 2 full days and 3 nightd in Paris, did a lot, saw a lot.
That first full day was very hot, 30 C. I did that double decker bus city tour, that I have done with all the other cities I have seen.
Then the Eiffel tower, but I didn't go up as there were huge que's. And it was way too hot to stand there int he heat.
So I went to Aerc the Triompf and went up that and had a great view as well.
The next day I went to Mon Martre with the Metro system, once I worked it all out it was eas to use. From Mon Martre I walked around watched the artists do their job and met the same guy thjat pained Brian and I again, He defenetely the same guy , I asked him if he was there in 1981, and he was. He is that Asian guy who did our portrait. We have a photo of him at home.
I took a little "train" tour to " Moulin Rouge"
and back to the Mon Martre again.
I went into that Beautiful Cathedral of " Sacre Coeur" and there was a mass and some beautiful singing ,so I sat there for a while listening, and taking it all in.......
Then I took the Metro to Invalides and took the RER train to Versailless, and visited the Palace of King Loui the 14th.
It was very busy and hot with throngs of people wading through the Palace.
After that Maarten and I met each other at Mc Donalds, but didn't stay there, we went to a nice little pub nearby and waited for his girlfriend.
We had a great reunion and talked lots, and gave him heaps of hugs. He is a greaat guy and I love him to bits.
His girlfriend came later and she is also really cool, I think were all got along really well and I loved talking to her and... she loves horses and can ride them so come you guys, I can't wait!!!
After a good time together with lots of fun and fellowship, I had to say goodbye, snuff sniff, and go ont he double decker RER train back to down town Paris, it was now 10.30 pm.
I got there at 11.30 pm, and guess what?? I did it again? Walked in the wrong direction as I stepped out ( again) on the other side, and therefore got confused. This time I discovered it quickly enough.
I must say I felt quite safe the whole time, no threats etc. Weird people? yes, a lot, but thats normal for a big city. You just don't look at them and keep walking.
