Reacquainting Myself With Paris

Day one started late as I woke at 11! I slept poorly as is normal these days with mouth pain increasing when I lie down. In the last 6 weeks I have probably slept continually for five hours only a few times. Last time I looked at the clock, which I had done very hour or so, was 6am. A shame to lose tourist time but I was delighted.

I trained it to the city arriving at the Arc de Triumph. Wandered down the Champs Elysse then headed to the Seine, walking to the Eiffel Tower. Glad I hadn't intended going up as the cues, as usual were in full swing. I joined a hop on hop off bus for 2 and half hours to complete the processes of orienting myself. A further wander got me back to the Arc de Triumph and the beginning of my journey back to Port Doree. Am having no trouble negotiating metro but sadly I have been disappointed with the lack of buskers which have been so entertaining in the past. Have not seen one.

It didn't rain on me at all though the ground was wet around home. The wind was very cold but out of the wind and in the sun it was lovely.

So lovely to be back in his beautiful city. I look forward to more tomorrow.

I am so impressed with life traveling with an iPad. Not only have I been able to track my journeys on the metro checking on here but I have another chick flick to enjoy tonight. It has just been fantastique! If you have been considering getting one I can only encourage you to do so, particularly of you have plans to travel.
