ola: Bonjour Au Revoir

The video! I meant to mention the Kindle which was next to my leg and which I've been making great use of, but I got flustered and forgot. Sozzle. Sozzle for being a dork as well.

Our lovely week in Paris has been and gone. Time is going so fast on this trip, the day Claire and I decided to go seems so recent, and it was about a year ago!

Anyway. Paris. A special mention to David Lebovitz for making the week an extra special one. (Google him, or if you can't handle the suspense of opening a new window, he's a pastry chef who blogs on Parisian food). Trying hard not to make this blog so food centric but with two people who will travel 25 minutes and change trains twice for a good piece of cake, how can I not?! So I'll just say this, we found an entirely gluten free bakery, tried our hardest to find the best macaron, and found out that a half wheel of legit Camembert only costs about $3 Australian dollars in gay Paree!

We had a much nicer hostel this time, and although it was a four bed, we had it to ourselves half the time, and the cleaners didn't sleep on a sofa in the living room! We climbed the Eiffel Tower and took more photos of ourselves than there are of Kate Moss. We also did some cracking hunchback impersonations at the Notre Dame (I know I know, original). Unfortunately for everyone those are on the digital camera so I can't put them on here. Listened to a fellow diner sing a French song to his date in a tiny restaurant plastered with posters from French films. We saw a great Egyptian Art exhibition, and yes the Babar exhibition was full of happiness and memories. We walked down the Champs about 8 times, and marvelled at how the metro voice over lady can make the word 'temple' sound like 'talmp'. She seemed like a nice lady. We saw the Moulin Rouge, and saw the line for the Moulin Rouge (unsure which was more impressive). We said this a lot "we love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other"(10 points if you got that reference). A man played a horn on the metro- so obtrusive. And snails are delicious!!

Back in London now. Last night we had a burger watched some stand up comedy in Angel, and tonight we found ourselves watching a laser show to celebrate the launch of a new Audi model (!!?) and went to a pub that was covered in vines. Special thanks to Mary for having us stay again!

Am off Grandma and Grandads tomorrow. CANNOT WAIT for a double bed and being able to have a shower not wearing thongs. Had to say a sad goodbye to Claire earlier this afternoon, I miss you already amigo!

Much love as always.

* The title of the post is a direct quote by the way. I meant to say thanks seeya, but said hello goodbye instead. Embarrassing myself all over the world.
