The flight from Sydney just seemed to go on and on but the connections worked and my luggage and I turned up at Charles de Gaulle. I caught the train into Paris with the tourists and the usual North African and Eastern European train jumpers singing for change.
The apartment was easy to find. It is simple and well positioned and the owner Madam Claude is a honey. She gave me a list of facts for the area, supermarkets etc and now have a place full of cheese and cakes.
I have a 'carte orange' which means I can travel around Paris by metro or bus for a week for about 16 euros -what a bargain. I caught the metro to Place de la Nation for no reason and wandered around the shops and had a few beers in a cafe watching the the world go by.

Bonjour Gordon Plaît padon les erreurs grammaticales comme j'utilise un traducteur libre et la traduction est très littérale que je pense. C'est très bon entendre vous est arrivé sain et sauf. L'amusement commence maintenant ! Se rappeler, seulement le café dans ces cafés quand vous faites l'échange de langue avec ces gens. J'espère que le Wi-Fi a travaillé pour vous.
Apprécier vos vacances !
Au revoir

How modern, my first blogger friend. You seem so Frenchie already. Those French lessons paid off. Sounds like you are having a great time. Watch out for the gateaus, fromages & baguettes (pardon my French) though !

Gordon, you're breaking my heart (it's pure envy) - but happy to live vicariously for a while. Have a magnificent holiday and please find an excuse to break into any conversation with "Je m'appelle Jean Cluny et toi - comment t'appelle tu?" - the French love that!! xx Marnie
So you were hours away from high-altitude when I saw you in the street, Sunday before last!?
Safe journey - see you round ol' Sydneytown later...
