Suzie wanted to go to Paris for her 18th, for the photo opportunities. We were there for 4 nights.
Paris far far exceeded my expectations. It is a beautiful city - absolutely stunning buildings, so so green, and we just had an ace time. It was very hot the first few days in mid to late 30 degrees - so we were grabbing shade when we could - not easy when your touring about.
On our first night, we walked to the Eiffel Tower then had dinner.
On our first full day, I had booked a two hour mini bus tour which took us to all the big sites, then we had lunch in the Eiffel Tower, followed by an hours trip down the Seine.
The next day we caught the metro and went to Sacre Couer and Montmartre. Sacre Couer was absolutely stunning, and strolling then sitting round the main square in Montmartre watching the artists at work whilst having a cheeky glass of wine was just lovely. We stayed there for an early dinner.
On our last day we went to Disneyland , and with the help of a 'special' pass, we got on all the rides practically straight away. Suzie chickened out of a couple of the big rides, and I had to grab a random and ask if he wanted to come on the ride with me as I needed an 'escort' with having my special pass. Talk about a couple of adrenaline rushes!!
So that was Paris in a nutshell. Would not have chosen to go there myself, but so glad Suzie did. As I said beautiful city and great to spend that time with Suzie.
Took a couple of days to recover when I came home though, but well worth the effort.
