Arrived in Paris!



It's Friday and finally we are in Paris. After leaving Amsterdam in the morning, we arrived at 14.00 hrs at the Gare du Nord with the Thalys, we took the metro towards station Dupleix.





Had a nice meal and wine on the train; All inclusive... we travelled 1st class.
















The apartment is near Rue du Theatre in the 15th arrondisement. It's not far from the Eiffel Tower.












The owner left a nice 'welcome' bottle of champagne in the fridge. Thank you !
In the evening we went out for dinner in St.Germain.

Only 5 days to go...

Yes, only 5 days to go before I (eh, we) go to Paris. Next Friday morning Jayne and I will be leaving Amsterdam to go to Paris.
We'll be travelling 1st class on the Thalys, the high speed train.

Just bought the latest (Oct.08) edition of the Lonely Planet guidebook of Paris. It's a lot of fun to read all about the city.

In the next few days I have to buy some last things, pack my bag and oh yes, I also have to go to work for a few hours... Almost forgot about that...
And there's one small problem: My mother in law already calls me 'chef'. Don't think so ! hi, hi.
I'm excited and can't wait !
