Paris

We have arrived safely back in London now, feeling just a little travel-weary and definitely not looking forward to the dramas of flat and job-hunting. But it will be kinda nice to have a home again despite the inconvenience of having to work for a living again! Our last European stop was Paris which we enjoyed even though the weather was pretty average (rainy and cool as it has been since Cologne 2 or 3 weeks ago). Probably the UK will get a decent summer just as we settle back into our 9-5s...

Our first night in Paris and MC couldn't wait to see the twinkling Eiffel Tower again. So pretty!

The Arc de Triomphe from the Champs-Elysees.
John in front of the Louvre. MC went to the Louvre last year and John wasn't too bothered about going in so we skipped it. Later we learnt that the real Mona Lisa is in New York being touched up so we would have seen a copy anyway!
MC in front of Notre Dame.
And John with the other side of Notre Dame.MC at the bottom of butte Montmarte (highest point in Paris), below the majestic Sacre Coeur.

Us with the Jardin des Tuileries in the background - very pretty gardens in front of the Louvre. You can also see the Sacre Coeur in the gap between the two buildings.
Yaaay Disneyland Paris! John in the swirling teacups at Fantasyland. MC was in fairytale heaven here. Our favourite ride, however, was Space Mountain in Discoveryland which we went on 4 times!
MC on Main Road, Disneyland. You can see the Sleeping Beauty Disney castle in the background which was modelled on Schloss Neuschwanstein near Munich (you might remember that from our Munich post).
Trying to be arty with the sepia function...
And finally the two of us at the top of the Eiffel Tower, a view of the Seine flowing underneath.

So that's our trip! We had so much fun but still have heaps more to see so keep checking our blog for much-anticipated further adventures while we're in London.
