Paris (and Strasbourg)

It’s been a quick visit to Paris, but I’ve managed to see the main things I wanted to..

Firstly, I’ve put an album of some more photos from wandering around Strasbourg and the train to Paris.. Strasbourg was such a nice city, and I had a great time there. Thanks heaps to Yves and Myriam for hosting me!

Paris is an interesting city.. A mix of famous buildings and grimy buildings and well-dressed people and grimy people. I had a wander around on Friday, visiting the Arc de Triumph, Eiffel Tower and walked along the Seine river. Then on Saturday I spent 7 hours at the Louvre getting my culture and crowd fix for a while. It was madness around the really famous pieces like the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo.

Today I’ve just hung out at the hostel- doing things like sorting out my ferry to the UK, trying to arrange warmshowers hosts, and trying to do some work..

I’ve got less than a week in Europe- I cross to southern England next Saturday. Really strange to think that this leg of the trip is pretty much over..

So here are the photos!

But first, here’s a big one of me at the Eiffel Tower!
