Paris at last.

Tuesday morning in Paris. I am writing this over Breakfast ar a tiny hotel near Place de Republique.

I spent 2days in a plane flying over New Caledonia,  Solmon Islands Guam, Kyushu, Korea, China, Mongolia, Russia, Estonia, Sweden, Denmark Germany and France in a metal tube with the window blinds all pulled down. I discovered a window by the rear toilet with no blind so went there and saw bleak bits of Northern European Russia and Gotland (Sweden)

I watched 7 movies  that is boredom.

Had trouble finding my shuttle for the trip to town but the trip was wonderful. We drove past Arc de Triomphe round that silly roundabout with 5 lanes of traffic and along Champs Eleysee. Saw the Eiffel Tower and the sSine. Also Cleopatras needle and another monument I recognised from Photos of Paris but can't recall the name.

I got a French SIM card yesterday but as no one has replied I am doubtful it works.

Today I spend on an Open top Double Decker tour of la Gaye Paris.

Having trouble with the Internet connection so research I planned to do early today hasn't happened.

ce la vie ce la guerre

Post script -  I didn't mention the decidely mediocre 30 euro meal I had at a local cafe last night.  So much for the great French cuisine.
