Finally hit Paris lunchtime yesterday after a flatout week in UK-last blogpossibly incohetent-rushed due to pressure of packing etc.Wild taxiride from the airport to find our accommodation is wonderful-on the edge of the Sacre Couer hill and ith a wonderful landlady who likes her guests toaccess her pool and garden-all small but lovely.Room small with kitchenette- microwave and hot plate ith all goodies needed to do simple meals-milk coffee water an soft drinks supplied-she brought us a fresh orange juice as we looked a little tired and stressed when we arrived- CdeG queues were not good but all OK in the end.Showered and slept then read papers etc. Off to the local supermarket for supplies-how much wine and cheese can people consume? At least100 varieties of cheese and winw along with allother liqueur and spirits in a small supermarket in a fairly poor area-could't see brandy but made do with brandy euro- not bad!Bought a variety of camembert,a blue which stinks out the fridge and a boring gouda type.51 euro bought usbasic bits,saladetc which we thought wsnt bad compRED TO iRELAND AND eNGLAND.
Area has lots of Africans and a few beggars around but seems OK.
Off to musee d'orsay today along with half of Paris as it is the one free day permonth-less difficult as used sense with queues and it moved quickly.Amazing place converted from an old railway station-room after room of impressionists and amazing furniture etc.Almost like having toomuch chocolate-fantastique! Had walked in so decided to metro home- chose a station uphill from where we live nd so wandered downhill thru Sacrecoer ground with tourists and buskers galore.Bells were ringing and scenery superb.
Dale hs befriended the cat here so he is a bit homesick but the delights of Paris should distract him.
Hopefullywether will remain calm and pleasant perfect for tourists.Have bought our first tartes for desserttonight yumm!Excuse spacing and caps but very small computer!
