PARIS

16/7/08
This morning we decided to drive to Paris and encountered our first lot of endless and expensive toll roads....€30 later we arrived late in the evening to Paris.

FRANCE

Thanks too our new Medion(priceless for finding your way around Europe stress free)we found a fantastic camp ground 6km from the Eiffel Tower and there were only 3 spaces left....whoohoo!
Our traveling home.....The perfect set-up.

We rode into town, first stop was the Arc De Triomphe and the Round-about of death.
Then on to dinner next to he Eiffel tower were we could not read a thing on the menu and ended up with a very average meal of water steak and chips.
Then we went to look at the Eiffel tower from the Champ De Mars (the park bellow the tower)all lit up at night with its blue lights. There were people every were as it was such a lovely balmy night. We laid in the grass below for a very romantic kiss and some photos.
Unfortunately I did not have a tripod for our whole trip so I have many out of focus night photos!....Oh well I will just have to go back to go back for a reshoot!
Tom decided to take me on a short cut back to the campsite....we ended up lost and in the park were all the prostitutes were working....

LUXEMBOURG

15/7/08
First morning on the side of the Rhine River.
Today we spent the day trying to find a nice place to stay in the Rhine Valley. We went for a bike ride along the Rhine River in a town called Worms....Not so nice, so we decided to drive on to Luxembourg, the home of the luxury car.

LUXEMBOURG

Tonight we stayed in our firs camp ground for €11 for 2 people.....a good price for Europe.
After setting up we rode into town on our bikes into the pretty city center and had dinner in the city square, there was a big band playing and lot's of very well dressed people and expensive restaurants.....I was feeling a little shaby, dressed in my bike riding shorts.
We found a nice little Italian restaurant for dinner and I ended up making friends with the owner of the bar while tom was in the toilet. I tried to pay for the meal 3 times but he wouldn't let me pay I think he was wanting to chat......he took some money from Tom and then offered us any drink we wanted on the house. A lovely way to start our trip.
