Paris was a delight from the get go after the drama that I went through to get there from Zurich, I was really looking forward to being at my accomodation that I had arranged via Airbnb. I was tired and none too fresh after 17hrs in transit. After a shower and a change of clothes, I was refreshed and off to the Eiffel Tower to try to use my admission ticket that was booked for entry at 3.00pm, it was now 4.00pm.

It seems a little strange to be updating the blog backwards, but I want to try to do it day by day to give you a taste of each place I visit and all the highs and lows that go with them.

I had planned to go to Victoria Peak, but it would have been pointless because all I would have been able to see was clouds, so I decided to head to the harbour and go on a harbour cruise instead, not the best day for doing anything outdoors really, but when you have lemons, ...................!.
