Heat wave!!

In case you have missed it there has been a heat wave in Paris this week. Has been 33-34 all week. I know that's not really a heat wave to our standards but they aren't really set up for it - the airconditioning is terrible everywhere!!

Anyway the place I have been staying has fabulous airconditioning which is the main thing!! Here it is on the left with the Galeries Lafayette right across the road.

Also the Opera Garnier is on the other side of the square. Very noice spot!!! I would highly recommend the appartements, they are Orion International in Paris. A great location, very nice inside and VERY reasonable prices.

So as you can imagine I have done lots of shopping :) Have been to Laduree quite a few times, yum!!

But I have also been very sick (I would call it horrendously sick) so I have decided to come home early (not joking).

The whole thing has been really crap and I am a bit disappointed but I am looking forward to a bit of winter after this week!!

I've done some other good stuff so I will post some photos and details about it when I am back. Eg the Louvre, Catacombs, Versailles.

Also the French classes were really good and my French has improved a lot. Have been going into shops and asking questions in French and they have answered me in French and not just replied in English like other times I have been here!!!! Will come in handy for next time.

And alas, no First Class!! But I will get all my points back (moins 5000) so will save them up for First Class next time!

I will miss watching the Tour de France live but it will be good to listen to some commentary that I understand!
