Random is Good, Random is Life

I asked Pete how do we go about charging all our toys, cameras, phones mp3 players etc. He advised me that we have “charge parties”, which basically means we get a few people in the bathrooms at the campsite, grab a few beverages, chat and watch our status bars climb and make sure that no-one steals our stuff… Everything is a party in Contiki!

We visted tine Palace of Versailles, Eiffel tower (again)… The palace was amazing, saw the bed of Louis the 14th’s wife (sorry forget her name). On this bed she gave birth in full view of the public, this was to ensure the people that the baby was in fact royalty and there was no baby swapping etc going on! I bet that would be fun, giving birth in front of tonnes of your public!

The Arc de Triomphe was cool, such an excellent view of the entire city. Also watching the traffic was hilarious. The Arc de Triomphe is basically a big-arse round about with a huge arch in the centre. Now this roundabout has 12 streets leading into it, there are no lanes marked on the road. These French drivers are bloody insane. I will put a photo up of the ?raffic once I get a chance to squash my pics down to size.

Also saw the Notre Dame, had a crepe (mmmmm the best!). Hate this weather though, one minute it’s raining, then BANG out comes the sun an the humity reaches about 50%, well at least that’s how it feels.

Sat in a cafe in the Champs Elysees with Sam and Linda, saw the prices of a sprite (5.50 euro!) and bolted. The waiter was not impressed, but bugger the French!

Saw the Mona Lisa, umm woohoo. I can die happy now. I understand the history and the intrigue around the painting and everything, but who bloody cares?

People on the tour are beginning to show themselves now, always takes a while I guess. I have 2 mins left, gotta go… more to come I promise!
