I should do a total France post, but don't think I have time/patience for it right now.
Paris was always going to be pretty cool. There's so much stuff to see there! I know, 'cause we had to do a project on it in 3rd form French, back in the day ;) However, it was super-super-super cool because I got to share it with people I've known *since* back in the day (although more 4th form), sokky and tiapia. Beau was also there, which was nice ;)
Beau and I arrived in the early afternoon and first things first, we made our way with all our luggage to the NZ embassy and voted *then* we checked into the hotel. Lovely little hotel too. Very close to the Notre Dame. Beau and I got a double bed and tiapia and sokky got two singles in what was basically another room, so that was all good. We also had a minibar, which was only used to store our bought at the supermarket drinks.
We went to the Louvre, Versailles, the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur and Notre Dame. Also wandered along the Seine and Champs Elysees. Beau and I got to introduce tiapia and sokky to the joys of such games as "Name that Saint" and teach them such awesome photo poses as the "St John the Baptist".
We drank wine, ate pastries and generally had a fabulous time. I'd recommend it to anyone, and if you are going, can I come too? I know at least 3 other people who'd be keen....
Point of Fashion: Most of my clothes are being washed right now
Current Obsession: Will it get colder? If so, when will I get to buy warmer pants?
Currently in Berlin and it has been snowing. Didn't get a good pic though. Dagnabbit!
