Well we are back. After 9 years Ruth and I are in our most favourite city again. This time we are staying in the 10th Arrondissement near the Place de la Republique. I stayed here about 16 years ago and besides the large statue a fair bit has changed. Still the place is a hive of activity - Ruth is wrapped at all the cafés and patisseries close by and she's already browsed a shoe shop haha.
Tomorrow we plan to go to Montmatre and the Sacre Couer Cathedral. Following that we hope to be able to get down to the Champs Élysées and yes - shop!
We are really looking forward to these few days here and a couple more in Dubai. Thoughts are now turning to home which I guess is good but it will be sad to finish such an excellent adventure. However work beckons so we can save up for the big family adventure next year!
Still we have a week to go yet so the fun continues. I am turning Parisian - one coffee shop down with a few hundred to go. Will visit Jim Morrisons grave, climb the Eiffel and stand in the middle of the Champs Élysées to take the typical Arc de Triomph photo.
Yes we are having a great break - truly the best ever.
