Actually going via gaungjou with China Southern was pretty good, long day to then long overnight to Paris with reasonable sleep.
The plan is to hit the ground running so as to make the most of only a couple of days in Paris.
Well we all got a sleep but of various quality and quantity. We are all a bit irritable today but after being fortified by cafe creme, all seemed to be well in the world again....
Got train into Paris proper at cost of €10 each, short walk( if we didn't get lost!) to our digs.
After bags dropped off, long walk (training you see) to get coffee on way to Rodin sculpture garden to photograph ourselves with "the thinker" .
Continued to wander left bank to pay homage to that great metal structure known as the Eiffel Tower.
Gone are the the days of wandering underneath the tower, well you still can but the entire square is fenced off and one must line up to go the through security before going in. Another sign of our changing world.
Metro to commence our dirty beer training, we must train you see ( for those in the dark, "dirty beers" refers to the intake of beers at the end of the day before cleansing rituals begin. This became a well known event on our previous walk on the camino in 2013.
out for early dinner then an early night I suspect.
