Barbes, Paris, Eurotrip

Barbes, Paris

After 24 hours in the air and four airports we're finally here.
Paris is truly a beautiful city. The weather is perfect here, sunshine and about 22 degrees.
Today we visited the eiffel tower and the Notre Dame. It occurred to me while at the Notre Dame that it was only the second church I had been to in my life (the other being the one in Camberwell for Bel's wedding.)
We're staying in a place called Barbes. The best way to describe this place is this: Dandenong meets Kings Cross!
The people here remind me of Dandenong (saw two men pissing in the streer last night) and it lights up like Sydney's red light district. Did I mention this is a red light district mum?
I'm struggling to find the keys - I've had enough!
