Paris

What a city - spent all day on the Hop on Hop off buses, it is the only way to see Paris. You would not believe how heavy the traffic is, and they are CRAZY drivers with NO manners, peak hour is unblievable.



Did all the touristy things, Effiel Tower, Arc de Triumph, Notre Dame, the square where all the beheadings took place including Marie Antonette. At it's peak, 2500 people were beheaded in one day, and the guide said that there was so much blood on the ground that the horses pulling the carts and people where slipping over - nasty.

In the evening we went to the Effiel Tower for Dinner. One trick we've learnt is that if you think you hear an Aussie you loudly go "Aussie Aussie Aussie" and if there is a response (Oi Oi Oi), you meet up and have a chat. This we did on the bus going to the Tower and teamed up with a couple from Sydney ( had to mention the Eagles) and a mother and daughter from Perth. How creepy is this, the mother was a retired hairdresser who knew Sieg & Marj (Bruce's parents) from their Zecks salon in Hay Street Perth and their reputation of Sieg's wig making days & Miss Australia gala's in the 1960's!



The dinner and views of course was spectacular. Then we did a boat cruise down the river and off to the Moulin Rouge show which started at 11:30pm. Well what a show!, all the girls were aboslutley gourgeous, most of them danced topless and the costumes were stunning. The show lasted just on two hours and included dancing, gymnastics, magic, animals, comedy and of course the Can Can.



Got back to our hotel after 2:00am, but there was no sleep-in as the hotel is quite noisy in the mornings. Today we will do more Hop on Hop off (only did half yesterday) and will have an early start tomorrow and off to Dunkirk.
