Viva la France

Updates below 15/10/07








On the eve of rugby semi final between France and England Paris is buzing. Tonight we had the best wine of the trip. It cost 2 Euros at the local supermarket. When we checked the label it read "Product of Chile".

Have walked around the Eiffle Tower, spent
a day in the Louvre and checked out the Mona Lisa (couldnt get very close - Gem): climbed the Arch de Triomphe in the evening (its a long way up). Today it was the Musee de Orsay and the Catacombes. The apartment we are renting has great views when the fog and smog lifts. Coffee is not as good as Italy. Have been to a couple of French restaurants. The most common menu item is steak and chips; we had to search for something which we thought was french and have had a nice rabbit stew, Duck with Lemon, Salmon La somethingerother and of course Steak and Chips.


Still having a great time.

Have now been to 4 Museums in 4 days; as well as up the Eiffel Tower. We have been seen medieval through modern art including Da Vinci, Monet, Picasso and many more. We have travelled the length and bredth of the Paris Metro and have walked our legs off. Tomorrow its off to belgium for chocolate.
Had French wine tonight 2 Euro 39 (not as good as the wine from Chile but better than the 15 Euro bottle at the restaurant)

It is interesting that in each country we visit the key arrangement is different: this is qwerty -azerty
