Paris

So we've been in Paris for about a day and a half now. The flight over was good. The trans-Atlantic plane from Montreal to Paris was pretty cool, with individual TV's etc. Unfortunately the armrest controls on the flight to Montreal didn't work, but we had lots to entertain ourselves with.

There is so much to see in Paris so after checking in to our hostel around 11am yesterday we went straight to the Tour Eiffel (tower). It stands out immensely against the Paris skyline at over 1000' tall. The view was incredible. We climbed something like 648 stairs to the second platform then took the elevator. Afterwards we walked to the Arc de Triumph and stopped for dinner at a cafe. We got home around 8pm and went straight to sleep as neither of us got any on the plane trip over.

This morning we armed ourselves with fresh bread, fruit and cheese from local shops and headed out for a free 4 hour tour of the city. It was great to have someone there to explain the significance of Paris' many sights. We plan on doing another tour tonight of Montmarte and possibly a pub crawl by the same company.

For now we are chillin' at the hostel waiting for Air Canada to drop off our bags which unfortunately didn't arrive with us in Paris. We think that because our plane into Montreal was late and we barely made the connection... our bags missed it :( Oh well... C'est la vie.

A toute a l'heure,
