Two days in Paris is not enough especially if the last time you were there you were fourteen and travelling with mum and dad. Saying that though, two days is all we had and we made the most of it. Taking the coach meant cheap travel but it left me feeling quite sleepy when we arrived in at 5.30am, and then waiting until 6am for the Metro to open didn't help. Once we finally got on the Metro the excitement started as I started to hear French words flitting through the air, party goers on their way home and the quaint tiled signs showing each station. We alighted near the Notre Dam and saw the sites in the early morning choosing against mingling with the tourist groups that would of visited later in the day. Sauntering along the River we made our way past all the major landmarks including Mr Eiffel Tower and ended at the Modern Art Museum. It was reaching half one, and we were allowed to check in at 2pm so after 7hrs of morning site seeing we went to sleep ready for the evening. The evening was all about Montmarte (the home of Amelie!) where we climbed up the steps to the Sacre Coeur, ate a lovely dinner just off the main cobbled streets; enjoyed the beautiful sunset over Paris and grabbed a few drinks. I made everyone walk to the Moulin Rouge because I am cheesy tourist. We did do a whole bunch of walking this trip but to me that is the best way to explore all the nooks and crannies. Part two to come...
