Paris (Day 3)

Inger and Mary woke up for the breakfast, but once again i was too lazy. I got up a little after 9 and met them by 10. They were planning to do the tourist trail and I agreed to do it again, after all i needed to test out my remembering of facts from the tour they day before. We started by getting food from the local supermarket as we planned on having a picnic for lunch somewhere along the way. We got a 1m long bread stick, 300g of Camembert (for 1.50 Euro), fruit, chicken loaf, and Pringles. We then got on the Subway. We headed to the Eiffel Tower and had a good giggle at the two guys playing along to a backing track on the train. They were very good, a trumpeter and a clarinet player. We got a photo of them and gave them 1 Euro, pretty much all we could afford. Inger was soo excited by the Eifel Tower that Mary and I thought we may have to sedate her. We got a lot of photos and then set out for the Arc De Triumph (Spelling is still wrong!). We watched the traffic for about 15 minutes, slightly hoping for an accident… Apparently normal Parisians Insurance Policies don’t cover driving through the round about. We didn’t see any accidents and instead went to the middle for a closer inspection of the structure.

Now in Paris, they are a little paranoid in the areas of Terrorism (can i say that word on the net, will the CIA be reading my blog… Hey George!!!) They have the army, walking around in groups of 3, with… Armed semi automatic rifles! They are the scariest looking dudes i have ever seen. We encountered a number of them throughout the day! We walked down a famous street that i cannot remember the name of, that housed all the big names, Chanel, Louis Vitton, Prada, Quicksilver… Okay, that last one, not such a huge name, but they were there, i got a photo in front of their store… Go Aussie Go! It was a long walk, and by the time we were at the Louvre, all of us were ready for a sit down and some water. Mary and I both forgot our sunnies and so we were squinting and had headaches throughout the afternoon. We saw the inverted pyramid and the louvre pyramid and Mary and Inger took lots of photos. We then moved on to the Museum D’Orsay, we took a photo out the front, one of which included Inger cupping the testicles of a statue of a Rhino. You cant blame us, we were exhausted and dehydrated.

We decided that we were now going to take the subway, as we had walked for a majority of the day. We caught it to the main station and Inger and Mary brought tickets to Nice, and I got my ticket to the airport! We walked from their to our temporary home and needless to say we all collapsed on our beds whilst re hydrating.

So here I am now, its 6:30pm in Paris and I am in an Internet Cafe, writing this blog and for the first time in the history of this blog, I am up to date! YAY FOR ME! I head off to Prague at 8:30am tomorrow morning. I will be in Prague by 10:30. I love flying! So until i find another cheap Internet place in Prague, this is me signing off. I am leaving the Busabout camp and heading off to PQ Festival, then London, then Vietnam and then Cambodia! I hope everyone is well, and please let me know what you are all up to!
Much love!

GEordie!
