Peddling in Paris



What a wonderful weekend...

Thought getting there was a bit of a concern. A thunderstorm hit when we were in the car and the hail was about the size of pea. We (Thierry and I) had to stop driving as u couldn't see. Then the road flooded.. Glad I wasn't on the bike

We arrived late on Saturday arvo. Paris come alive at night and this was Saturday night so get very alive..

We had dinner in a Tibetan Resturant and then walked up to see the view of Paris at night from the Musee de Montmartre (?). It was specky...

Walked passed the Moulion Rouge but I didn't see Niclole anywhere... Though lots of very drunk young Australians having fun...

Next day we got the bikes out, armed with a 10 year old cycling map of Paris, packed lunch, 3 bike locks and a vague outline of a cycling plan....

1st stop was the roundér-about u see of Paris. The monument is impressive and it was early so not that many cars so yes we road around it. Then off to the park in Paris. This was great the roads are closed on Sundays for riding and roller blading so lots of people riding and blading. From here we made our way to the Tour Eiffel... Impressive... Didn't go up though the line was over an hour long and franking I was having to much fun cycling around the place...

We then road along the canal in Paris and I got to see Notra Dame? and other impressive buildings...

Yes I had coffee in Paris... it was fun
