We're on Emirates EK75 for the trip to Paris, another A380-800 Rego A6-EDR. This one's a little older and doesn't have the big crew cabin in the middle at the back. We're in the same back seats as before but this time we can see across to the starboard side.

We landed in Paris Charles De Gaulle at 8pm after the 7 hour flight from Dubai, queued through border security, collected our bags and passed straight through customs. It was fairly easy to follow the signs to the train station where we caught the RER in to Paris Gare du Nord. From there, it was only a couple of blocks to walk wheeling our luggage along the footpath to Hotel Mademoiselle.

After settling in and a quick freshen up we found a little cafe nearby by where we ordered a couple of pizzas and then made our way back to the hotel where we were eager to sleep in a real bed for the first time in many hours.
