Paris: Lost in France
Still love Paris! But not the French.
On Tuesday we did the champs élysées and arc de triomphe and the eiffel tower by Metro on our own.
The highlight was a rickshaw-like ride through the busiest traffic we have ever encountered. Around the arc de triomphe of course. How many lanes are there? And what does it matter? Our driver managed his way around the multitude of cars and buses whilst maintaining a conversation in English. Scary!
On the way home, we were unable to exit the railway station becoming completely lost walking in circles and receiving NO help from the locals.
This was followed by dinner at the wrong restaurant with the most arrogant of staff unable to comprehend Paul's excellent school boy French.
At least the views and photos are good.
