Mulhouse Airport

infront of my hotel in Paris

I got up early and went to Mulhouse 
in the east of France, I went here 
for 2reasons. The first being the 2 
different aircraft to get me there 
and back, my first Embraer E190 and 
Fokker 70 flights. The really cool 
thing about Mulhouse is that its 
neighboring town basil is actually 
in Switzerland. When you land there 
are signs that point left for france 
and right for Switzerland and each 
has their own security checkpoint. 
I liked the fact that I could go back and forth in each side, and took lots 
of film to show the differences. The airport itself is completely on french 
soil, but when you exit on the Swiss side the only road heading out heads 
to Switzerland

When I landed at cdg I needed to get he main train back to Paris, there 
was another bomb scare but in another terminal so the train did work today.



on a Segway at the Eiffel tower

 
The problem this time however is that 
all the bloody ticket machines were 
down and I needed to line up in a 
massive queue for the 3 people serving 
ticket lines. Not been impressed with 
the 3 times I have used airport train.

When I came back into the city I 
decided to go to the Notre-Dame and 
climb up to the top completing my view 
from the 4 main viewing buildings.

This took ages so by the time I got 
out I only had 30 mins to get to the 
Eiffel tower for my segway tour. For 
those of you out there that don’t know what a segway is, it is a 2 wheeled 
platform with a large handle bar. It moves depending on where you lean. 
Took 5 minutes to get used to but after that I was zipping around all over 
the place. I got to see all the main sights and had a guide explaining 
everything on the way. The tour took 4 hours and i think its great value for 
money.I really enjoyed this tour and I am seriously considering going on 
another segway tour in another city like say Rome for instance.

Jake (segway guide) showed me a couple of extra places not known to tourists 
to getinto places like the lourve without waiting in a queue.

I have enjoyed my whole time in Paris!
