Another day in PARIS

SHE SAID ...  One of Kristy's magic foot massages would go a treat right now!  Would match perfectly with the cold beer, cheese and crackers.  We've clocked up a second day of walking, tubes, walking, buses, walking, lying in the park on the grass, walking, sitting having a glass of wine and beer, walking ..... it's been absolutely awesome.  The weather has been great, but don't let anyone say Wellington is windy.  We've done lots of the tourist spots, but some of the best things have been off the beaten track while exploring and totally unexpected.  For the most we've found our way round really well, and only got slightly lost in one of the bigger tube stations.  Way, way,way down and lots of people, I wasn't too keen on that and the first time I've felt a little uneasy!
 Have seen a few out of the ordinary things - a very well dressed guy standing in the tube station cutting his nails and flicking them on the track, a woman peeing in an entrance door right next to a posh hotel, all the cute little dogs the beggars have with them.  Michael even got picked on twice with in an hour by the old 'dropped ring on the ground' trick.
 Have enjoyed some yummy food, a couple of v nice reds.  Can't believe the number of cafes with red awnings on every corner, and of course all seats lined up for optimal viewing of what's going by. How do you like Michael's very pretty gelato Karl?

Watching the cyclists, scooters and traffic in general has kept me amused, seems extremely chaotic but they all appear to know what they are doing.

Thinking of our poor wee Rebecca (and her patient parents!) and her very bad case of chickenpox.  Get better soon xxx

HE SAID ....  Really enjoying the tubes and the hop on, hop of bus rides. A great way to get around and learn about different sites. Very easy to get lost, nearly in the tube stations. We figured if you keep going up sooner or later one will see the sky. I think school is still out so the sooner all the kids go back the better. Long days sure make the beers taste good and we haven't had a bad red yet either.

Looking forward to another big day tomorrow so best away and have a pastry or 2.
