Finally arrive in Paris after a very long sleepless flight with some french women pushing her knees in me the whole way which was very annoying but got my own back by pushing my seat right back. Got in about 12pm Paris time which was really only 6am New York time so body clock really out of whack and havent had any sleep. Got to the hotel about 2pm after customs and luggage pick up and what a nice place. They upgraded us to 2 studio rooms so this will be the first hotel we wont have all shared a room - I think about time!!! After we got settled we went for a walk around our area and then down to the seine for a look. It was drizzling but not too bad - need to invest in a brolli as think it is going to rain in the next few days but need to trooper on and see the sights. Soooooooooooo expensive here - had to do some laundry 13 euros to wash and dry - that is $26 and I need 2 washing machines so that was a total of $52 to do the washing. US $1.25 in America. We will probably stay in tonight as we are all really exhausted but will hit the pavement/metro early tomorrow to make the most of the day. Well that was what I thought but we all got a second wind and it wasnt raining so we went and got our Metro ticket and off we went to see the Eiffel Tour. Just before the last stop you come out of the underground to a bridge where you are greeted by the site of the Eiffel Tour and at night it is just awesome. Matthew was looking out the window and his eyes lit up "look at that!!!!" - it was cool. Got the camera out and realised that I had left memory card in computer after updating blog so got some photos but they are on the camera's inbuilt memory so will have to go back tonight to get another look so I can upload it. Got home about midnight - overtired by now but it was worth it.
