Hi everyone, I haven't posted anything in the past few days. Not because I haven't wanted to but because there hasn't been much to report on so I figured I'd summarise the whole time in the south of France in a blog just before I head off to England. The weather here overall has been pretty terrible, rain most days except for today and yesterday which have been more like what I would expect for a European summer. Only visited one chateau whilst here but it wa...

So that's it I'm on the train to the south of France leaving Paris behind. I did most of what I wanted to do and see and have left many things behind to do but the two main things I wanted to do was visit musee d'orsay and go to this vegetarian restaurant that it basically one long table and share a meal with the locals but if I ever make it to Paris again they are at the top of my list.

Whilst walking through the first exhibition I found more entertainment in watching the...

2:30 in the afternoon and it's already worth writing a blog. Managed to secure a bed for my last 2 nights in Paris so that's one less thing I have to worry about. Went to the Effiel tower today an was planning on climbing the 1665 steps to the top. But get there and found out that you can't so climbed to the 2nd floor and then took the elevator to the top. Not much to speak of other than the fact that the views are pretty spectacular and the climb up the 700 ste...
