Well I'm only a week here and already fluent in french ( that is I can awkwardly manage to string a small sentence together), funnily enough the Parisians must speak a different version of french because they can understand me.
Bob has made me order most things and pay for all so I am getting a little practice every day. It is easy when they tell you how much things are and I just hold out the biggest note I can in the hope that I got it right. So far so good.
Our hotels are in the heart if the city so everything is close and handy. Our first hotel was great. The shower was only 2 feet wide - literally and if I stood side on one wall I couldn't put my hand on my hip without touching the adjacent wall. I think it has something to do with the fact that we have consumed numerous pastries and bread and jam until we look like a roll or that we huffed and puffed and nearly blew our brains out after climbing 3 flights of stairs and not being able to communicate any other way other than caveman speak with a lot of moans and groans when we reached the top of the stairs. It seems everything here is Petite (except us).
Our new hotel is so luxurious. It has real pillows as opposed to the roll at the end of the bed which is just to take up the extra queen sized quilt that fits on to the smallest double bed I have ever seen. We also have a lift which has a maximum of 2 persons at a time. This is because when you come down you come together but after numerous pastries and bread and jam for brekky ( yet again) both of us can't fit in the lift together. Our bathroom is very spacious, we can both fit in the room at the same time but if exiting the bathroom, it is one at a time as the door only half opens due to it hitting the bed on the way out.
I think they are trying to tell us something!!!!
Well, we have another day of pounding the pavement with our pancake like feet ( after all our walking) a full schedule of events to squeeze in before heading off to who knows where tomorrow. Yes, that's us. Fly by the seat of our pants people, nomads in the midst of Europe with no clue as to where we are going, so in case we get lost, watch this space!!!
We love and miss you all very much and wish you were here to share this adventure with us ( translated this means - Help, we need some guidance - is there anyone out there?).....
