Paris for the day for French Vogue and Macaroons.

Ha ha Sleeping and walking... well it is 5am silly o clock.


 It was my wonderful hubbies birthday the other day so I surprised him and took him to Paris for a day trip. We went yesterday morning on the first train and got back home just before 10pm. The Eurostar is just 10 minutes walk from ours so to pop to Pareeee for the day is a breeze. We crammed so much in (me old chip legs are feeling it now). We went up the erm Blackpool I mean eiffel tower, which was amazing we went to the top and I have never seen my hubbie soooo scared, he hated every minute bless him. We seen the Notre Dame Cathedral which is just breath taking, the stain glass windows are just beautiful. Visited The Louvre museum which is one of the largest museums in the world. It was originally a fortress then a palace, a former residence of the kings of France (history lesson people). The place is gigantosaurus rex!!! We strolled down the Champs-Elysees seen The Arc de Triomphe. Had tea and cake in Laduree, bought some of their world famous macaroons. Then we rolled our tired, "je parle un peu Francias, full bellied selves onto the packed Metro to the Star of Euro then home zzzzzzzzzzzzz home.
