Getting off the Eurostar in Paris
Our pickup at the Eurostar station
Up at 8am to pack & get our way to Kings Cross Station for the 1229 Eurostar trip to Paris
The trip was smooth & fast with lots of typical French village scenery along the way
Our pick up was waiting at the station with the name board & it was off to our apartment in Montmartre. 20 mins later our opinion of London traffic problems was lowered - Paris is a madhouse! as Heather said we know why cars have horns now!
We went for a walk around & our first language experience was at the train station - it was all going so well until the lady asked me if I had 50 cents extra. We finally got it sorted.
We looked around for a shop to buy provisions. Lots of little shops but oh so expensive. We decided to head away from the main streets & found a Sri Lankan owned minimart that was reasonably priced (well at least for Paris!)
Out for tea at the pub down the road & after tea we headed to McDonalds to get a sundae for dessert. Samara bravely went to the counter & purchased a sundae successfully!
