After a fairly laid back day, I’m happy to report that we’ve made it to Paris. We had a nervous start this morning after planning to catch the metro to the airport and then finding that it was not running along one section due to maintenance work. Fortunately we had left enough time and we had no issues getting on the plane.
Having made it to France we had to negotiate the RER (one of the metro services). Luckily they have colour-coded everything, so we didn’t really need to understand too much, and getting to our hotel couldn’t have been much easier (thanks also to our Navman SatNav).
We had a nice wander around the area (La Defense, a reasonably modern business area) and came back to the hotel to relax before heading out to eat. An added bonus is that the hotel has free wifi. Knowing this, I bought my laptop with me and so I can blog and research any obscure facts we might want to know about our trip.
I don’t plan to write every day, but just wanted to mention that we had made it and you can look forward to a more detailed post with some photos next week.
Au Revoir!

Hi this is Megan. My husband Pete and I used to have this domain. We’re jealous you are blogging from Paris. We’ve been there several times ourselves. Have fun!
