Paris Trip

So the trip to Paris. Which took place from the 22nd to the 27th of July this year. I know I take a long time to write about things.

( Travelling to Paris )

- Eurostar = yay
- La Defense = giant rat maze for humans from which there is no escape
- The tourist Metro 5 day ticket = great value for money
- Moroccan wine is fantastic

( Wednesday - the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides but not the Pompideu Centre )

Eiffel Tower = evil
Les Invalides = beautiful
Guidebook = lying liar that lies

( Monmatre, the Musee D'Orsay and the Bateaux Bus. Plus the craziest restaurant in the world. )

Monmatre is worth a visit.
So is the Musee D'Orsay. Van Gogh is 500x more awesome when seen in reality.
The Bateaux Bus is nice and relaxing.
And there are some places that you could only get in Paris.

( Notre Dame and Not the Pantheon )

The guidebook, it lies.
My French is better than I expected it to be.
French wine - not for me

( The Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe )

There is a limit to the number of pictures you ever need to see of the Virgin Mary.
There is no limit to my interest in the Ancient Egyptians.
I may have gained an interest in Ancient Mesopotamia.
The Arc de Triomphe is just ... yeah.
Baby pigeons are cute.

I really liked Paris, because it wasn't too touristy and there's something about the pong of old stone that I find extremely comforting. The Metro was fabulous, and the whole thing goes down as an experience I'm glad to have had. I may well plot another holiday for this summer. I'm thinking Brussels or Amsterdam.
