Ok, so here we are. We've arrived. The vacation has commenced.
The trip itself was pretty smooth, apart from one near miss. But more on that later.
Let's get the most important thing outta the way from the get go. So we finally arrive at the Hostel at around 11.30 pm; suitably knackered obviously. We need a quick bite having not eaten since around 1, so we head off to the Golden Arches (Mac D's). Yes, I know, I know, I know! We're in Paris and we're eating Mackie D's!!!? It was there, we were hungry. Get over it. So it's after midnight and they've got this weird 'night hatch' thing going on. You couldn't go into the restaurant but had to queue up at this window and basically buy your food to order. You clenched tight onto your receipt and waited. Anyhoo......what's with the 'Chicken Mystic'!!!? I'm SO intrigued! Has anyone ever had one? Does it tell your fortune? Can it contact the dead? Does it know what happened to Lord Lucan? I NEED to know.
It's been trains and planes (plane) today. We nearly missed the flight to Paris as all the flight boards were dysfunctional (a bit like Neil) at Liverpool John Lennon airport. We were told on checking in that the flight was delayed 30 mins. So what else to do but sit down to some cold beverages? Neil gets them in and I decide to have a wander just to make sure we're not missing our flight. Only turns out it's on final call. There's a bit more to it than that but I can't be arsed. So I won't. Suffice to say we made it.
Couple of other observations:
Paris is expensive!
Why do some German women have hairy armpits - it's SO unattractive.
More tomorrow (maybe) as I'm SO tired now I need to sleep.
Laters....

Classic - burger and chips in Paris. Nous sommes l'anglais stupide et devons manger quelque chose d'autre que McDonald peut s'il vous plaît nous diriger vers quelque part bon marché ?
Try this next time you want to eat.
I think a lot of Euro gals have hairy pits....every person I have ever met from France has hairy pits.
There are worse things.
Chicken Mystic......that is intriguing...I hope you had one!
