Day 1 and a bit ...

Finally! We arrived in Paris after a quick stopover in Singapore with a bit of shopping therapy in the terminal stores. Stephanie and her niece, Brodie, required this therapy. I just wanted a good lie down.
First 2 cheeses were included in airline meals: 1) hard, rubbery and tasteless. 2) soft, rubbery and tasteless. I don't think they merited a varietal name.

Our arrival in Paris was at about 9:30 am following a quick train ride from the airport. Unfortunately, we couldn't pick up the apartment key until 5 pm so we took the Metro to the Champ de Mars and lazed under the Eiffel Tower. I later took the Metro back across the city, collected the key, back to the girls, then a 10 minute walk to the apartment. 




Found that the cable wi-fi wouldn't work until we disconnected it from the TV. Now we're flying.
