We've arrived in Paris! Our pickup from the airport was a bit of an eye opener. Once the guy saw us he walked so fast towards his car we couldn't keep up. The roads in France are fucked up. We saw one bungle on our way out of the airport and many more near misses. Very aggressive drivers + narrow streets + shitty infrastructure = one hairy ride into town.
The apartment is nice but very small. The building would be around 100 years old but the kitchen and bathroom are new, a swell as all the light fitting etc. it's in the heart of the 4th and it very close to many of the big landmarks. We can walk to the Louvre quite easily and the Notre Dam cathedral is only a block or two away.
We dropped into a little grocery store akin to a dodgy 7/11 and bought some things so that we didn't have to eat out every meal. I bought a sack of bananas for 1.69eu... C'mon, they probably ship them over here from qld and they're still heaps cheaper!
We're all jet lagged like crazy but we're staying up just a little longer to try and straighten up the ol bio clock.
