After rave reviews of the Carlos blog, he is now taking over for today.. Quite frankly, I'm hurt and offended. From now on this is called Carlos' pearls of wisdom. ; )
Today we went to the Louvre. Still in fear of the Parisian subway, we decided to once again walk. A thirty minute walk is not so bad these days even given Alisha blistered foot. On a side note: if purchasing a cheap pair of shoes it would be worthwhile wearing socks as a precautionary measure to prevent unwanted blisters. On this occasion the museum was open so it was a good start.
An entry fee of 24 Euro gave us the opportunity to:
• walk further
• mix it up with large crowds
• view countless paintings of slightly overweight nude women and unusually toned nude men
• and of course catch a glimpse of the Mona Lisa which as Alisha correctly states is an average quality piece of art
A tip for would be travellers to the Louvre: everyone always says to arrive early so as to avoid the queues. We got there at 1pm and there we still long lines but when we left at 2:30pm there were no lines. My tip is to go there in the arvo.
Over and out.... Carlos
(Alisha) We went out for dinner. It was s***. We were supposed to order fancy French food. Yet again we fail. I got steak and chips (boganing it up to the max) Carlos a cheeseburger and fries. My feet hurt, so no Sacre-Coeur or walk by the Seine during the night. We suck even more than I thought was possible. Night!!
