I have arrived back in Paris after spending 12 days on another whirlwind tour of the UK. Christmas day was spend in London with family before I went to Cardiff to see family again. We went to see Oliver the musical and were lucky enough to have a drink with the cast afterwards. I then headed north to Manchester and popped over to Braford for the day. I finally was able to see the places I have heard about since I was little, where my mum was born, where my grandparents grew up and where many of my family still live today. I kept moving up north for Hogsmanay (Scottish New Years) in Edinburgh before I had to head back down to Paris and get back to work.
I am making the most of my last weeks in Paris by trying trying to tick of the must see places on my Paris Bucket list. Friends and I went to Versailles this past weekend, and of course, ate a cake at Angelinas. Just following Marie Antoinettes orders! I have managed to see a lot, Musée d'Orsay, The Panthéon, Château de Vincennes, Musée de l'Orangerie are all crossed off. I still have some big names to go, the Louvre (I know ... its just so big!) and the Catacombs for next week. Although,there is so much to do in Paris with out seeing the tourist sights. I can count the number of days I have been lazy and stayed home on one hand. I am always discovering new places and things to see, my "to do" list grows faster than I can see everything.
This weekend is my second to last in Paris before I head south for a quick tour of more of France.
A bientôt, mes amis!
