London was lovely but i found it very similar to Sydney and Melbourne. Of course, the main highlights of the European leg of our trip are Paris, Venice and Rome so i was itching to move on to stop number two- Paris.

Paris is amazing. What can i say- French women are so chic. The way they dress, scarves effortlessly strewn around their slender necks; their coats fitting them perfectly; walking with such confidence. Ah, to be French.

I have had my share of cafe cremes, croissants and pain au chocolats. I have gotten lost and wandered along chestnut tree-lined streets. The metro has become manageable after just a few days. And tomorrow we go to Montmartre where the Amelie soundtrack will be playing in my mind as i walk up the steep streets.

And just when you start to get used to the French language and trying to order in halting French, you move on. We go to Venice in two days. I wonder what adventures await us there.
