04-29 "Arhhh Paris"

Wheather: Fine, warm, avg temp 23

A fine warm day which began at the Photography Museum where we viewed a collection of black and white photos from the 1940's, a couple of contempory artists - one who took photos of office buildings (like a water cooler or a group of chairs) - very boring. There was an exhibition of Andy Warholes poloroides with a fewfamous faces amoungst them and some strange ones as well...

We then returned to Notre Dame because Iwas keen to climb it - Jas twisted his knee in a minor way earlier and it was bugging him a bit so declined (ok for walking, not ok for stairs). I waited in line for about 40min since they were only letting up groups of 20 or so every 10mins (it was about 1300hr) and cost E7 but well worth itto see the gargoles and Paris on such a fine day. All the bladers and cyclists were out and about it was such a beautiful day.

We then grab some lunch shamefully at KFC (not many around) but it did not taste the same as Australia - fries were terrible. By mid afternoon we were at the contemporary art museum again and watched the street performers and the people before stopping for a coffee in the complex. Keen to make the day last longer we then walked back over the Seine to the Latin Quarter until we ended up in the Luxemburg gardens. At last we walked back to Pont de Alexandra III and watch the sun set and the Eiffle tower light up - it was about 2200hr then finally returned to the hotel for the last time...
