Paris by foot

We flew into France from Korea. Another 11 hour flight, more butt aches but no less pleasant than the first flight. First impressions began... Charles de Gaulle airport was very French.. Unnecessarily confusing and uncaring to the point of laziness. Catching the train from the airport felt odd... It almost felt like we were in Sydney with newer high rises surrounded by older derelict ones covered in graffiti. You could tell the difference once we actually got to Paris though. Paris is a wonderful a mix of historic, culture and arts. We adjusted to the time difference better than expected, so far no sign of jet lag. 

1 day to explore Paris.. By foot no less. We started the day with a good French breakfast, croissants and baguettes then off we set. We walked the Champs Élysées which is a busy street! We admired the arc de triumph, gazed in awe at the Eiffel Tower and queued at Notre Dame before getting inside and being creeped out by the horror movie style music being played on the organ. What an experience it all was, so much to see and love. As we began our walk back to the hotel we stopped for afternoon tea and it was delicious!!! By far the best creme brûlée and pear tart we have ever experienced! 

At every turn there are new experiences and so much to enjoy, tonight it was watching the French gather to watch their country play in the World Cup, so much dedication and atmosphere but for us it's a quiet night resting our weary, well walked bodies. 

Oh and I'm certain the amount of times we've exclaimed (or muttered) "Crazy French" is nearing triple digits!
