Paris, France

4/11/05
Arrived in Paris and navigated our way to our hostel via 4 metro lines. Went out for dinner then bought a beer and a small bottle of wine to drink at home. Didn't have a corkscrew but the man in the alcohol store (we had bought our drinks in the supermarket!) opened it for us.

Visited the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel tower and around. Then in the afternoon found our way to Jim Morrison's grave in Pere Lachaise cemetery. Darren drank a beer to him and got told off by the guard. Saw the Moulin Rouge then went to the Musee de l'Erotisme.

Woke up early as it was the first Sunday of the month which means many of the attractions and museums are free. Raced to the Notre Dame, Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, and the Pantheon. Saw the Mona Lisa, Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir etc.
In the evening we went up Eiffel Tower, the views were amazing, and the tower itself sparkled with lights.

Walked to Les Invalides, went to the Opera National de Paris-Garnier and the Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre Basilique. Then it was time to catch our train to Marseille.
Paris was beautiful. It was easy to get around, not too expensive and the people were very friendly and helpful.
