Day 1 - Paris

After a Very long time in transit (30 hours) and a well deserved rest in our magnificently comfortable beds, we put in a HUGE first day in Paris on foot. Our gorgeous apartment is on Rue de Tournelles, in the Marais (3 Arrondissiment), just a few short steps to a beautiful bakery (...will my arse spread if I have a quiche Lorraine for breakfast every day?), a sensational Spanish restaurant (we were eating tapas within hours of disembarking the plane) and of course a florist.... I can't believe how many florists there are in Paris, there's one on almost every corner!

100 meters up the road and Chenin Vert train station is right there, (and boy was that handy after walking for about 8 hrs covering about 10kms to the Eiffle Tower), so as far as our location goes, we feel like we've hit the jackpot!

On our way to the Notre dame, the river Siene was running fast.

Once we got up the the entrance and Nicholas saw a blind begger (who had a scary looking white eye) he decided he didn't "want to go to anymore landmarks because those beggers are freaking me out"

 Our first Glace, OMG possibly the BEST ice-cream we have ever tasted!

Frogs Legs or Snails anyone??

They LOVED it!!!
