This morning was a nice lazy morning with a long lay in bed watching our iPads because we didn't have to check out til 12 to go back to Paris to catch our 3.38pm train to Marseilles which will get us there at 2200 tonight, going to be a long trip in the dark so I hope to catch some zzzzzz's after the couple bad nights sleep we've both had. Well no zzzzzz's were caught as we were in a booth type car on the train with 3 other people not very private. It was a re...

After a day of rest yesterday we get up early this morning to head to the palais. When we get outside the hotel we realise its a fairly cold and miserable day, which had me bummed because I was hoping for blue skies to wander the palace gardens but that was not going to happen with the way the weather was looking.

Today was a sort of rest day with no real set plans of what we were going to see or do.

Once we arrived and got off the train we found the beginning of the expo but it was the wrong pavilion, though Trent's little eyes lit up when he r...

Today we were suppose to go to Versailles for the day but upon waking we decided we couldn't be stuffed so decided to head to the cemetery to see Jim Morrison's grave instead. What a beautiful cemetery it was, gees there were some families with alot of money buried in there. Jim Morrison's grave was nothing special but it was a treat to get to see it. We couldn't find Oscar Wildes grave and we had both had enough of walking on cobblestones for the time being. ...

Not as nice a day as yesterday, really thankful we did the outdoors stuff I wanted to do when the sky was blue and the sun shining, the Eiffel Tower just doesn't have the same sparkle on a grey day. Today we headed to the musee d'orsay for Trent to see his favourite artists' works, however upon arrival we found it was closed on Mondays :( well that threw a complete spanner in our works as I had planned on the day being spent there. Whilst wondering around trying...
