Update from Paris

We climbed the Eiffel Tower today - wow! It's absolutely worth the climb (which will really test your calf muscles and knees etc.) And we visited Montmartre - so picturesque, and Sacre Coeur - stunning. Here's a tip if you are going to the Tower: pre-book!!! The queues are extraordinarily long and move forward inch by inch. And pack your own lunch!!! The prices are exorbitant.


Tomorrow: the Palace at Versailles. Fortunately our wonderful Couch Surfing hosts are giving us a taste of authentic Parisian home life in between all the tourist jaunting we are doing... www.couchsurfing.co - highly recommended! We are enjoying their cooking, music and conversation. Had a chance to 'play' their accordion tonight - wearing a Parisian beret!!
