As our coach approahed Paris…

…the Eiffel Tower grew in size…

…until it became too much for us and we had to make a photo.

The following day we saw it…

 

…in all its splendour.

is very simialr to…

an Australian made 

1962 EK Holden

Both cars are heavy with chrome

We won this bottle of wine in a trivia quiz.

However, as we are both teetotallers we decided

to give it to someone who would appreciate

the bottle’s contents…

 

…as we feared the 13.5% alcohol content would

leave us more than a little tipsy.

Rome’s Trevi Fountain proved…

 

…a good spot…

…for people shots.

 

By the time we reached Paris we had learned

that our priority entry did not mean that we

were the only company, or coach,

at the attraction. …

However, after we had been shown around

both inside, and outside, the Palace…

 

…we discovered that there was susbtantially more coaches waiting than when we arrived. 

Late commer’s were queing for two to three hundred metres waiting for their chance to enter Versailles Palace.

  It was moments like these that made me forever grateful for our priority/early entrance.

My kind of window shopping in

Place des Heros

in

Arras,

France…

The Arras Saturday Market provides

another type of window shopping…

 

…I found a necklace on this stall which

I thought My Wife might like.

She did!

Discovered in a Melbourne Laneway,

I have often wondered how anyone

could wear these shoes.

 

A window near the end of the Football Season

when Geelong Football Club was highly

fancied to win the Grand Final.

 

After lunch window shopping in Murano,

Italy

I have a habit of buying some clothing

when I travel as a mement.

This shop was the only one which

stocked clothing in my size.

Therefore, I do LOVE Paris
