2nd September Today was the day in Paris we weren't supposed to have. Yesterday the airline we were flying to prague with went BANKRUPT. Yes that right. Remenber when I said that I loved this place, not sure if its sharing the love. We got up and ready at 6am to be at the airport at 8am. So 16euro train trip to find out there would be no flight. Panic, hysteria(from ME) and what the @$#%&^ do we do now. Managed to book a flight through another airline at 9.2...

1st September. Had a bit of a sleep in this morning and took it easy. Rained most of the day and quite cold.

No shops, even the department stores are open. We didn't catch the metro, which we have almost figured out, all day except to come home. So we must have walked about 100km today, give or take a few. We waked to Blvd Haussman to a closed dept store, which is close to th...

1st September. Disneyland today. Just as I thought my feet were beginning to forgive me for yesterday we went to Disneyland, and boy are they sore now. For some reason it was extremely crowded at Disneyland today. Made it very hard to go on all the rides. We stayed for 9 hours and still didnt see or go on all the rides. They have a system call Fast Pass where you can get a ticket with a time on it and return to the ride and go striaght on. Well you had to queue ...
