Must be market day in this area …. market stalls set out in the median strip…. fresh produce . Bought some fruit for lunch … delicious stone fruit … and very cheap .. 4 apricots, 1 peach, 1 nectarine, 1 banana for 1.50EU.

Met a NZ couple whilst buying our 3 day Metro pass …. we bumped into them twice throughout the day. Spent more time trying to hatch plans for the next few days … still no luck in that area ….hopefully tomorrow. We headed for Montmartre and Sacre-Coeur … a very beautiful church … but our tip from Fiona was to go up to the dome …280 steps … narrow, windy, spiral staircase…. but a spectacular view.

Spent the rest of the day using the metro to get from place to place …. Eiffel Tower … Jardin des Tuileries … Bastille and the canal …. and back home EXHAUSTED!!!!

Managed to find an Internet café at 8.30pm … just as they were closing. She allowed us 15mins …. unfortunately that was only enough time to discover that the French keyboard is different … yet again!!!! Even ‘a’ is in a different spot!!!

Found a place for breakfast .... with free wifi .... woohoo. so here we are. Another success... on top of being able to book some accommodation in Rouen. Look that one up Mum. Think we can get a train to there.... just a couple of nights to fill in first. If I manage to upload pics sometime ... you'll see all the tings we did yesterday ... that I forgot to tell about here ... including the amazing artist area in Montmartre ... but not the hocolat-eclaire that I devoured!!!
