Paris in the spring time

Mon- From Brussels Trav and I headed our seperate ways. Me to Paris to meet my mum and Trav off to half of France with Roh to taste wine. Both options looking likely to hurt the budget.

By luck I started my journey with a first class train ride to Paris, but followed it up with a not so glam trip lugging the suitcase through the metro and up stairs in the crazy downpour that welcomed me.

Met mum at the hotel and we headed out on the town to once again get drenched with rain, eventually giving up to the warmth of a small bistro with yummy onion soup and provence rose.

Tues - Next day headed off to the Champs Elysees. After a little(?) shopping saved some coins by having a cheap maccas lunch on the CE.

Saw the Arc de Triomphe in, you guessed it, more rain. It rained so much with such a strong wind the rememberance flame went out. The police were on standby and re-lit it quickly.

Found a local fav japenese place for tea and discovered cheese kebabs. Where have you been hiding all my life...
