Paris part 1

Well here it is Paris well part of it I went by Euro Star which they went and moved (now at St Pancras) on me Waterloo was so much easier to get to just round the corner & only a short Cab ride but of course I under stand not very PC (Politically Correct – just in case you don’t know we had a war a while back that we won & it was called the battle of Waterloo so rubbing it in the French’s nose a bit, we like to do that we STILL go on about the war to the Germans LoL) Anyhoo the

Euro Star is actually quiet good if you book far enough in advance & don’t have changeable tickets (like a plane) you can get a return for £60 that’s £30 each way I will say best to get a seat in the four seater for the leg room even if on your own, it only takes 2.15 hrs door to door that’s straight in to Paris Du Nord which has an underground system just like here called the Metro

(smells more than ours dose though)  My brother was there to pick me up (sweet) you don’t have to go through passport control again here only on one side so when your leave the country you have an half hour booking in process where you go through everything you would in an airport security checks the arch way scanning of luggage extra but no baggage pick up just walk straight through when you get off! *M* took me back to the flat they were renting up at the top of these spiral stairs!

He took my luggage such a sweetie! I am no where as fit as I should be but I think I would be if I lived here! LoL

I loved our little rooms so sweet just time for a quick chat & a tea before we were off down those stairs to meet up with the girls at the Louver (my sister in law *S* & friend *A*) & went for a walk before we had dinner, which was ok but the desert made up for it chocolate cake with chocolate custard & hazel nut ice-cream just to die for & went up the Eiffel tower at night it was *S* Bday so here is the card & the other Exploding box I made.

We thought we had missed the last lift up the tower but went anyway for the photos but it turns out the Eiffel Tower carried on till mid night so we ended up going right to the top which is no mean feat as not only am I not too keen on heights but I know *M* wasn’t either & it turned out that *A* wasn’t too hot about it too! I had no idea that my brother held so much power over my fears he managed to escalate it 10 times I have been up the tower before when I was 18 but I don’t remember being as scared as I was I really had to put my big girls pants on & deal with it but I got right to the edge right at the top & it was blowing a gale at the top I was so very proud of myself & I did that last bit on my own!

Ok so that was pretty much the first day over with will post some more photos later as other wise you won’t get to see these

So for now Seeya hugya *G*
