AND WE THOUGHT LONDON WAS EXPENSIVE!!!

We've managed to find our way around the maze & the language & the driving on the wrong side, all quite OK, amazing!!!
We've been doing all the touristy stuff, Eiffel tower, Arc de Triomph, Champs E'Lysees, Moulin Rouge, Notre Dame & it's all pretty fantastic, old, beautiful, busy, crowded & alive.
My feet are about to fall off, my legs are so tired & I don't recon I've lost any weight from it all, what's going on?
We've climbed so many steps but all worth it for the views of Paris, it is so huge, all the little streets running everywhere, if you don't stick to the main roads you're lost.
It's so expensive, I can't handle it guys, far more expensive than London because you're paying to see & do everything, (which must be done), but shit it eats into the budget in a big way. We've also not been able to get any freeloading so that adds to the cost. We're now sleeping in the car for our last couple of nights so that we can go to the Louvre & the D'Orsay.
It's also been stinking hot & Kyle & I can't wait to get to the beach, country & have a swim & relax, all this touristy stuff is so exhausting!
We've found fantastic little side streets full of cafés & restaurants that aren't too pricey, & I've sat in cafés along the siene & ate dinner by the river, all of which I've longed to do. We eat bagettes for breakfast, lunch & dinner because it's the cheapest, drink plenty of water from the free fountains around the city & occasionally buy a beer because I'm so hot!
We have to come back to do Disneyland, can't fit it in this trip but one wants to come back here as there's so much to see & do you could visit many times & still enjoy it & see new things. Maybe when Celina joins us?
Catch up in a few days, hope all is well at home XXXXXXX
