Paris: deja vu!

Today is Tuesday and our second day in Paris, my favourite city in the world. Last night we watched spain beat italy in an Irish pub just a block away. We are in a fantastic location amongst cafes, restaurants, chocolate and cake shops as well as shops with 'solde' signs on their windows, I think that means 'Sale'. Will investigate and confirm.

We did a full day tour of main tourist stuff but not as good as APT with whom we did river cruise and onshore tours. The organisation today was bad and the guide did not have the lollipop sign thing to guide us.
And of course we did another canal ride (ABCR), this time on the Seine. We love a good canal.

The Lourve was open this time round and truly amazing as was Notre Dame.
Took some great photos but the crowds were huge making it very difficult. Bloody tourists everywhere getting in the way of good photos.

Montmartre was also beautiful but we ran out of battery on the camera so only one photos. Hoping to return...


Unfortunately one of us reinjured an old sporting injury as they did the last time they were in Europe. Fell and sprained foot in Montmartre. Did not go to casualty this time as accompanying trainer was able to administer the appropriate treatment. Purely medicinal beer and wine helped us both. Interesting time trying to return to hotel by taxi as neither of us could remember the name of the street. This was combined with a taxi driver on only their second day in Paris and unbelievable rush hour traffic. Stressful. Thank goodness for the 'medicine'.
