Just got back from Paris after a couple of days. Kellie did some serious shopping for baby clothes etc as the sales had just started and the Euro is quite good and Paris makes beautiful baby clothes. I did some sightseeing, checking out a few of the places that I remembered visiting around 30+ years ago. Some parts of changed but there is a lot that hasn't changed at all. My favourite place has always been the Louve. The entrance and the pyramid are all new but I remember some of the galleries. The location and position of some of the paintings etc have changed but it bought back some great memories. They have moved the Mona Lisa to a different room but there were so many people there the photo I took was not a good one.
The weather was not too kind to me in Paris, it rained quite a bit but it was a little warmer than London. 10 degrees. I managed to find some sun so I headed to the Eiffel tower but by the time I got to the top after waiting in the queue for some time, my battery on my camera went flat so I was not able to get any photos as the battery for the camera requires charging, not just one that I can buy more batteries for. So it was a shame as there were some beautiful panoramas of Paris for the taking. It was very windy and very cold and because it was Winter they only open the very top (level 3) on weekends and not during the week so I couldn't get right to the top.
I also missed out on getting some photos of The Arc de triumph and a few other places. but at least I have some memories. Henrietta is starting to smile a lot more now and really loves her bath.
it is hard to believe but there is only 6 days left and then I will be home. These 5+ weeks have really flown. I hope to got to Madam Tussards tomorrow if it is raining still. The train trip to Paris and back is very relaxing and just so easy. It takes around 2 hours from Paris to London. Not bad.
