Finally we got out of london All flights were cancelled on the day we were to leave so we spent an extra day in London Went to Grenwich Village Saw the cutty Sark and stood on the zero meridian of Longitude and saw the Naval museam had a great day, this french keyboard is confusing. Next day up at 3am and off to Heathrow to catch a 7.30am flight, arrived and queued for 3 hours only to be told our flight was closed and we would be booked on the next available flight we got to PARIS at 2pm picked up our luggage only to discover one bag was missing so stood in another queue for another hour to fill in all the details because they had put a lot of the luggage on the wrong flight, got to our Hotel at 4pm. Paris , what a place we are in a great location so we went to see the Seine and we were blown away with the wide streets the angled roads, shops, the Eiffel tower, shops, the Lourve, shops, the churches shops, cathedrels shops etc .this has to be the best city in the world we love it. Saw the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo today went to Montmarte and saw the street Artists we did a night tour of Paris and also had a boat ride on the Seine and climbed the Eiffel tower tonight we will stroll to the Champs de lyssies and eat on a sidewalk cafe.

Almost done.
So did you do the DaVinci code thing and start pulling stuff off the walls at the Louvre? I hear they love it when tourists do that. Don't forget to ask every French person you see where they keep the Holy Grail. They love that too. Don't forget, you can't take any fluids on the plane with you. No drinks, no perfumes, no deoderant. Wow, a plane full of sweaty torists couped up together for 24 hours with no deoderant. You're going to have soooo much fun on the way back. Here's a nice friendly joke that you can play on customs. When they ask you too place your shoes in the x-ray machine make sure you take them off then place them on the conveyor belt very carefully. As they enter the machine put your hands over your ears and fall to the ground in a fetal position. You'll soon find all the customs stuff laughing hilariously at your spontaneous joke. Trust me on this. Dale.
