We're in Paris!

So much has happened and we have just had no time to update our blogs. We arrived on the Eurostar into Paris' Gare Du Nord this morning at 11AM and walked to Caroline's apartment about a 20 minute walk. I found Caroline's ad on and B&B website which was among the more affordable options. I wouldn't usually opt for a "shared" apartment, but this is Paris, and it is really expensive here. Besides, I figure we're only here for 2 nights, will spend most of our time out and about, and we might make a new friend in Paris.

Caroline's a french fashion designer and lives in a small and stylish apartment in Montmartre - strategically chosen as is close to the international railway, and a "velib" downstairs. Velib is Paris' answer to alternate local transportation. Automated bicycle rental stations throughout Paris for pedestrians to use. What a great idea! I love it.

So we've had lunch at a cafe Caroline had suggested, and walked Boulevard De Clichy (LOTS of sex shops) and where Moulin Rouge is located. We've found another cafe, ordered coffee and where I'm writing this blog - Cafe De Luna. Feeling pretty travel weary, we're wondering if we are doing too much. Our Europe journey has only just begun!

Itinerary for Paris:

1. Moulin Rouge
2. Louvre Museum
3. Use the 'Velib' to see Eiffel Tower and Arch De Triumph

I hope I didn't miss anything!?
