Happy Birthday Leanne


Leanne's birthday dinner. You could almost see the Eiffel Tower......

the view from the middle of the street was spectacular however..




If you don't use the flash and you squint a lot.










The view after a couple of bottles of champagne......






Very happy commuters in the Paris Metro at 1 am



Scenes from the Seine


Leanne and David ala Titanic








Notre Dame on the left and you know who, yes with you know what.

Lafayette department store

A beautiful building with too many things to buy.















Vicky arrived on the Saturday and we had a lovely lunch near the Gare de Nord, with just a little bit of dry white wine.........




oh no its empty


3 girls at the Louvre


Leanne, Kathy and Kel at the entrance to the Louvre. The size of the Louvre was overwhelming and we only scraped the surface.

Charming old shit



Kel and Kathy in front of one of the only two remaining art nouveau metro station entrances, on the way to Montmarte. Old shit being the architecture not Kaffy.

Stay tuned for more Paris adventures..................................

Our Spacious Apartment and the stairs...

Was a great apartment but on the third floor!!!
and no lift.

If you look closely you can see Kel's cousin Kathy waaaaaaay down the bottom.




Does my bum look big in this kitchen? Not enough room to swing les chat.

But very cute.

Kel n Shell hit Paris



We had a day of impressionists, visiting the Musee d'Orsay and L'Orangerie.

The water lillies by Monet were very pretty and so is Kel.



We had lunch, and also some wine, but not all of these bottles.

Shell at Chez Marianne in the Jewish Quarter, in the Marais, were our apartment was located.
