Amsterdam soon...

Lack of posting due to lack of good internet!

Some pics of Amsterdam later... suffice to say that Kevin took to the first class rail travel from Paris to Amsterdam - evidence attached!

Au Revoir Paris...

Off to Amsterdam today - a final few images for you all of Paris - Sacre Coeur and Versailles.

I decided that Kevin really wants to live in the style of Louis XIV after visiting Versailles - each morning a nurse, a doctor and a surgeon in concert with serving staff would assist the King to rise - and provide him with a refreshing drink of holy water.

Kevin of course prefers Gin and diet Tonic....

Pere Lachaise Cemetery

A cold, wintry day and a visit to Pere Lachaise Cemetry and later on the Rodin Museum. The cemetery was quite eery with the grey, windy weather, autumn leaves whipping about, and crows hopping from crypt to crypt - calling to each other.

For those that don't know, the cemetery is the final resting place of a range of (in)famous people - Marcel Proust, Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison (to name a few). The large deco monument above is Oscar Wilde's grave - the spots on it are lipstick kisses, left by visitors.

The website - Pere Lachaise

We had to flee though because of the weather - and seek the refuge of a warm cafe with a bottle of Vins Pay D'Oc :)


Note to winter travellers - don't forget the umbrella!

Random Paris images...

A few picks of the pics... Louvre of course :)

Glad we did the diet... food and wine are faboo - Buddha Bar was excellent! Have to say that the weather aint too bad - though glad we bought our glamorous thermals :)

Paris arrivee!

Man, what a long trip! The business class upgrades didn't come through - what a bummer... planes were packed almost the whole way.

That being said - finally arrived - initial evidence above!

More later once we get some sleep and recover :)
