We had a nice 8 hours sleep last night that we really needed. Are bodies and especially our legs and feet are very sore. We woke, had cheese on toast & headed to the station for the 45 mins train ride to the Palace of Versailles. The train was pretty full but we grabbed a seat & off we went. Today's overcast but still warm so it will be another great day outdoors. At Versailles we grabbed some baguettes then made our way into the palace beginning with th...

After ticking off a few of the big sites yesterday we decided to head to the other most popular attraction first up, the Louvre. Because of the crowds at the tower we decided to get there early. Once again us being us didn't arrive until 9.30am but there were no crowds so it was fine. After photos of the famous glass pyramids, just to show we were there, we headed inside. Of course we knew the crowds would build quickly so there was only one piece of art to head ...

Stairs, more stairs, even more stairs & some of the most iconic places in Paris. That sums up our day. Well that and the climbing of more stairs.

Well we are off on another adventure, not sure if this may be one of our last over here. This time we are off to gay Paree. We woke up unhappily early and got things set. Then jumped a train to Victoria & wandered up to the coach station. We are busing it over to Paris but thats ok at the price we got it for. So with the sun shining we climbed aboard and got the best 4 seats on the coach. It was a 2 hour trip down to Dover then another 90 minutes to cross the...

Viva la France! Here we are in the south enjoying the sun. An awesome 26 degs today. I miss you sun, I really do!! We had an early start from Dublin as we had to drop the car back so we were up at 4.45am, or better known as stupid o'clock. We dumped our ride and checked in for the flight. We managed to grab the front seats so plenty of room but she was a bumpy old flight. Lots of turbulence. We landed on time and after grabbing our luggage headed out to the taxi ...
