More from Paris

Tuesday

Man the keyboards are really weird over here. The keys are in completely different places. I appologise upfront for any really bad typing....

Okay today Cam and I went on é Fat Tire Bike Tours of Paris. They basically took us to the main spots in Paris. The first one was during the morning and the second one was at night.

In between the two tours we climbed the Eiffel Tower - I dont know how many steps that is but it is heaps.

By the end of the day I was definately feeling sick and needed some time.

Wednesday

I woke up on Wednesday with a ripper of a head cold. I could bearly move and felt horrible. We stayed at the campsite until around 3pm. We then headed into the city to the Sacred Heart Catheral. in the square near the catherdal we sat at a small cafe and enjoyed a beer. From there we walked to the Moulin Rouge - very dissapointing...

For dinner that night we had a picinic under the Eiffel Tower. After dinner we headed over to the Montparnasse Tower - on the 59th floor there is a look out. Cam and I watched the sun go down and took some photos.

Once the lights had come on we headed home - by this time Cam was also starting to feel sick.

Thursday

Today we were slow again to get started. Once going we went to Notre Dame, St Chapelle and then had the best ice cream ever across the road from Notre Dame.

From Notre Dame we headed over to the Louvre and Plqce de La Concorde. While at the Lourve we had a look at part of the initial Roman wall that was discovered when the French were excavating to install the glass pyramid.

After the Louvre we headed back to the campsite so we could do our washing and get everything ready for our trip to Auxerre tomorrow for the first of our rides.

Cam and I have decided that we are going to come back to Paris on our way home so we can see the Chateau Versilles.
