You guessed it, we°re in Paris and once again the apostrophe seems absent from my keyboard, so bear with the weird little cirle thingo.
OK, quick update- since Rome we°ve been in Florence which was lovely. We queued for three and a half hours to get into the gallery to see David, and he was worth it, really breathtaking. We also had a crash course in Tuscan cooking and wandered around more churches, cobbled streets and museums until I thought I never wanted to see another block of marble; and bitumen really had its merits.
After Tuscany, we went where anyone who had sworn never to go near a boat again would go... Venice! It was surreal there and incredibly boaty. We took a gondola ride (well, you have to really) and saw Casanova°s house and loads of ornate bridges.
After Venice we trained out to France and spent a few days in Nice. Nice is basically nice (snort), but didn°t really grab me as a place to get excited about. Maybe in 30 years when I retire. From Nice we°ve co,e to Paris and Paris is definitely exciting. Today we wandered through the Louvre for most of the day (and saw lots more blocks of marble, but one was the Venus de Milo and she°s still got it). Yesterday we were at the Eiffel Tower and possibly even more exciting than that, today I had my first genuinely French crepes! (They were really good!)
That°s all for now, this keyboard is doing my head in and my head is still full of Da Vinci (the Mona Lisa is way smaller than I was expecting). Hopefully I can put some pics up soon...
