Sat 19 th May ( cont).

Fantastic flight to Paris during which we were totally spoiled by Egyptian flight attendant who found out about our anniv.
Arrived in Paris to very ordinary weather. They appear to have had a summer so far in line with
UK’s with only 1 week of sunny weather in April.
Good to meet up again with Mona and Jean, the owners of the B and B in centre of Paris.

Still a bit jet-lagged so a fairly early dinner at a typical French restaurant very close to B and B.

Paris in the spring is supposed to be when a young man’s fancy turns to ……..

The only problem with that is that the Paris weather is not faintly spring-like and secondly no-one has been able to enlighten me on what the fancy of a decrepit old guy with a titanium knee turns to. Please send your suggestions by email!

Sunday 20 th May

Wake up to leaden skies but still head off on the Metro to Sacre Coeur and Montmartre, along with thousands of others. Decide to follow a 2 hour walk through this quartier of Paris , as suggested by
Rick Steve’s guide book. Well worth while and came away far more informed about the checkered history of Montmartre. Sadly some of it is now very seedy but there are still some hidden gems to be found in the less touristy lane ways.

Weather has picked up somewhat so time to sample another bistro in the area.

Tomorrow off to Marakesh so more from Morocco shortly.

The Obese Ferret.
