Paris- Lonely Planets #1 city to visit 2014

As a way to save money, I've forbidden public transport unless absolutely necessary. If it's possible to walk there, we will which hasn't been a problem until on Sunday when it rained buckets.

We got up super early to allow the 45 minute walking time to get to the boat. When we left there was a light drizzle, then some solid rain, then... TORRENTIAL SHOWERS. I have NEVER been so saturated in my entire life. 

This meant that most of the canal cruise was spent hunched over a little heater trying not to get pneumonia. In true Murphy's Law style, once we got on the boat and started the tour, it became a beautiful autumns day. 

Yesterday we did a free walking tour around Paris. I did it more so that my boyfriend could learn more about the city but to be honest we both got a bit bored towards the end. 

Today is our last full day in Paris. This week has gone super quick. Tonight we are doing a night walking tour around Montmarte, the 18th Arrondissement (and my personal fav part of Paris). 

Tomorrow we are catching the train to Brussels in Belgium, a country known for beer, chips and waffles. It's going to be hard but I think I will survive there. 

I'm pretty keen to come back to Paris before I head back to Australia so i'll see if I can squeeze in another little trip even if its just a weekend. 

With love, from Paris (lonely planets #1 city to visit 2014)
