This morning was just a mad rush to find a hostel in London for the next three nights. I was talking to dad on skype at the same time so I booked one that didn't look all that good but was available. But then kept searching and found one that looked better so I cancelled the other one and I'm now staying at a hostel on the Southbank just near the London Eye. So hopefully it will be alright and I'll meet a few other travellers and will be able to go out and have a...

Today because the weather was actually ok today I did the boat trip along the Seine. It was really nice. The whole thing lasted about an hour and wen from Pont de l'Alma up past Notre Dame a bit and then back the other way past the moorings, to the Eifel Tower and then back.

The Louvre was actually really cool. I was planning on doing the STMLAG (See the Mona Lisa and go) method, but I end...

This morning woke up and then got packed to go back to Anaëlle's place and then just relaxed for a while. Then for lunch I had frogs legs which were actually quite nice. They were like a mixture between chicken and fish, with really little annoying bones. Then after lunch I borrowed a bicycle and then went for a ride in to the heart of town and up to this little lake and rode around that. Then on the way back it started raining, so I ducked under a trolley shel...
