My trip to Paris was wonderful.................for the most part. It was a lovely weekend with my wife and it's not often we get to enjoy each other's company with two small children around so we did make the most of it.
Our hotel was next to the palace of Versailles so after negotiating the wonderful driving experience that is the Paris ring road we booked in and took a look around the place. Very impressive it was too, as you would expect, and the gardens were simply fantastic too.
The following saw us in Paris, first stop was at the Eiffel Tower where we went to the top, (of course), and sealed the moment with a passionate embrace and a kiss. It was just so right if a little cliched. We then took a trip on the Seine but couldn't get to Notre Dame as the Pope had beaten us to it and it was cordoned off!! I was not impressed - Germans taking over Paris again!! It didn't spoil anything though and gives us a reason to go back another day.
On Saturday, we went to Disneyland and this could have been pretty bad. Let me explain. It was lovely and sunny in Versaille so we both wore knee length skirts, however on reaching Disneyland, which is only 40 minutes away, it was cold, grey and wet! Which made us stand out like a couple of sore thumbs and we did get noticed quite a bit. I have to say, it wasn't too nice but was our own fault. Anyway, we scooted back to the car, swapped our skirts for jeans and noone took a second glance after that. Lesson learned, though it wasn't entirely our fault, the weather did play a part too.
All in all, we had a wonderful time and are looking forward to doing it again someday, plus we are looking at taking in some other cities while we are here. Venice, Rome, Munich, Moscow................
Life is great.
