In case you were wondering, I can confirm Dora is just as irritating in French as she is in English. Gab had us packed up and down at breakfast early this morning before we head to Gare Du Nord for our Eurostar to London. Max has taken to "London Baby" somehow, it's a crime now to say one without the other. At the hotel by lunch, we headed for a long unintended stroll for 3km carrying our laundry, we kept asking people where a launderette is, everyone just k...

The first grey day in a while, and our last full day in Paris. We hopped the metro out to Versilles. Somehow Gab has this system totally sorted, I get confused with every look at a map. We turned the corner to stroll up to the Palace, even on such a foggy grey day, the glittering gold adorning the Sun King's home lit up the scene. We spent an hour or so taking in the apartments. Each room was more impressive than the last, until we reached the hall of mirrors,...

Shattered from the day before we all slept in today. Without a solid plan we headed up to Champs-Elysees after breakfast to find a Starbucks so we could pilfer some internets! With our plan set we got on to a L'open tour on the top deck to wiz around the city and get our bearings. Again - everything is grand and opulent, wonderful. We got to see most of everything (we do a similar tour in two weeks time as part of our Euro tour.) Beautiful day for sightseeing....

The kids were astounded when we revealed we were heading out to another Disney park. They were busting for the whole train ride out there. Once there I realized I'd screwed up and defiantly needed that ski-parker I'd so defiantly left at home. Freezing cold but busting with Disney juice we ran all over, saw lots of what we'd seen in HK, and a whole lot more. Paris Disney is way bigger, way grander with Gold everywhere, more rides. But sadly most of the interes...

Our train arrived at Paris Est at about 6pm. Despite a drizzle we couldn't kill our excitement, Paris! We had a peak our run through the city. First observation, you wouldn't catch a German driving like this - its like old ladies bustling at boxing day sales, but with cars. Anyway, to the hotel, drop bags and Gab has us out the door again in 10 minutes. Boyed by our MTR use in Hong Kong we head straight to the Metro, I am thoroughly confused, I literally can'...
