Paris! Tres Bonne!

ah, bloody Paris, it was amazing! Hard to believe we were only there for about 36 hours.

Such a beautiful city, and after living in London the quietness of the streets was weird, even a few yards from the main attractions. We ticked off most of the main sights and thanks to the prohibitive price of alcohol (or even coffee), instead of being holed up in a bar we spent most of our time wandering around, seeing stuff and generally enjoying the difference from that other place a few hours up the tracks.

Here, in perfectly laid out format, are a few pics of the weekend.... some of them actually came out pretty well, just wish I knew how to put them on the blog without them looking like shit. Will try and get the rest of them onto Flickr in the next couple of days, These ones are of J outside the "pretend tube" (named after a free newspaper! honestly), me next to some sort of homage to Blackpool (weird), J and me outside an old church in the middle of a river, an old gate with the Blackpool monument behind it, a local cafe (couldn't find a McDonalds) and an old building with a greenhouse outside it.

As you can tell, we really got under the skin of the city during our stay. Magnificentique!
