Surprisingly I didn't have time on my first day in Paris to make it to the Arc de Triomphe. Luckily it's a pretty quick trip to there on the Metro from our accommodation without the need to change lines at all. And it was definitely worth the effort ... Read more >

Woke up with a 'champagne head' but still got out of bed early so I could get to the Eiffel Tower at least 30 minutes before it opened which is what I had been told I needed to do. Well fat lot of good that did me. The starting (and finishing) line for ... Read more >

Started today by flooding the bathroom. I stepped out of the shower into about two inches of water. It had been draining very slowly prior to that point. Not my fault that the drain was blocked. So after I fixed the plumbing (I am a woman of many talents) ... Read more >

Bus tour today and we had to be at our meeting point by 8.15am so an early start, especially as we were allowing extra time to get there in case we got lost (always a possibility). We made it with heaps of time to spare which just gave us an excuse to ... Read more >

Our first trip on the Metro from Hotel de Ville to Palais Royale then a walk through the gardens behind the Louvre (Jardin des Tuileries) on our way to the Musee d'Orsay. The garden lawns are 'mowed' by curly-horned goats as we saw one hard at work (we ... Read more >

As I predicted, I'm not very good at this blogging caper. And I haven't figured out yet how to upload photos. It was starting to feel a bit too much like work so I'm giving up for the time being and will just try to get my `stories` up-to-date before ... Read more >

Everything went well on the way here. All my flights were on time. Getting upgraded to Business Class for the longest flight from Sydney to Dubai was definitely a bonus. Very nice G&Ts in the Qantas and Emirates Lounges! Although in Economy from ... Read more >

Came in to Paris by fast train from St Malo this morning. Total travel time of 4 hours! Didn't really get a feel for how fast we were going until another shorter train past on the opposing track. Just a blurr a blip of noise and pop ... Read more >

We've dropped off the car, checked into our hotel for the night and had a wander around the old walled town of St Malo.
Couldn't really find anything to catch my interest. If it wasn't lots of tourists it was lots of fumey traffic. ... Read more >

Soggy clumps of the floral wallpaper fall onto my forearm as I shove the paint scraper upward against the wall. The muted green and pastel pink pattern, once so popular decades ago, now gives way to the soft, white plaster beneath it.

A late start today. Breakfast wasn't available until after 8.30am and after chatting with the French Canadians, who are also staying here, it was probably 10am before we got away. We went straight to St Malo and collected our train tickets ... Read more >
