Since we couldnt see Lili the previous day - we made an appointment with her today in the morning. We chose the place which she already knew and could reach in few minutes (without line changes) from her hostel... so the place was: "Gare de Nord - platform 7" I thought there is nothing more specifi…

My sis and i woke up pretty late this morning because we are too exhausted yesterday walking for long time.  We met Catherine at the hotel  lobby at 1pm after her french lesson. Also a friend of my sister Steph joined us for the day tour.  So there you go here's some fun photos we to…

I had to get up at 8:30am to pack up all my stuff and get it ready for the flight...naturally as soon as I arrived in Paris my bag threw up all over the room so it took me a while to gather up all my things and make sure I had everything. Ben and I were planning on leaving around 10:30 to make our …

3 day city trip

‘Threads’ (Part 1 of 3)   - "Iz okaay Mista, iz okay, I work for da church!"   Yeah, really, I’m sure. It’s about 8.45 in the morning and I’m  being approached by my first unashamed scammer of my trip. - "Iz  okay, I work the church. Iz free Mista. Where yo from Mi…

Every cloud has a silver lining and our cloud happened to be filled with an all you can eat, complimentary breakfast.  I needed something to raise my spirits since I was deprived of my usual cup of tea the previous afternoon. One of the best people watching locations, aside from an airport, i…

Spending some days in Paris for christmas 2007

This day was out last in Paris. We would wave goodbye to this city, a city that opened my eyes to my own fear and prejudices and welcomed me in. Wow. We really just left this day for filler. To walk around and enjoy without the hustle and bustle of getting somewhere. One thing I had to do was to vi…

It has always been my dream to visit Paris, France. I have been learning French for several years now. We left Thursday November 5, 2009 out of the Parkersburg/Wood County airport and 50 minutes later arrived in Washington Dulles Airport. We now had about 5 hours to kill before departing on our fli…

Before I started hitching I booked train tickets for Mieke and myself to Paris. It truly is a beautiful city and we had a great time there. Many pics were taken :)

I was thinking to go to Normandy because I really know Paris very well but, I landed in Paris and I stayed there. Paris again after 4 years...was really incredible, every time I go Paris i discover something different and I find the same charm in the city of the light.

Day 3 in Paris again started somewhat early. I was going to be meeting up with a fellow TravBuddy at 11 on Ile St. Louis right across the bridge from Notre Dame but I wanted to check into my hotel before that, or at least drop off my backpack. My hotel was up near Gare St. Lazare which was not fa…

Three days in Paris

Anna, Ben and I woke early the next morning as we were determined to climb the tower and avoid the massive ques that we knew would come up by 10am. We got there just after 9am and decided to climb the first 2 storeys. I ate climbing up things, I get very dizzy and disorientated for some reason but …

I met up with Derek to check out the Catacombs, luckily they have just reopened and we could both visit properly... Catacombs are trully eary and spooky, they are the site where bodies where kept when a large part of paris was getting sick.  They built an underground lair, and when you walk t…
