Date: Monday 7th July
Staying: Camping Maison Lafitte - Paris, France.
Distance Travelled: 0 miles
Song of the day: Du Hast - Rammstein
I have really taken a disliking to Paris. The place just does my head in. Yesterday we couldn't find a shop off the Champs Elysee that was open, and today, they day we had set aside for the Palace of Versailles, the main reason for going back to Paris, and its SHUT!!!!!!! Not happy.
And its not like we were the only ones not to know about this. There were hundreds of people wandering around wondering why they couldn't get in. And then, to cap off a wonderful morning, its starts to pour with rain, which eliminates the only thing we could see (the beautiful gardens) from the agenda. Not happy
We walked out of the place, telling people not to bother as we did, and headed to the tourist office. 'Its always closed on a Monday' they tell us. 'Well you may want to tell the hundreds of people walking round up there that' we say to them. But atleast we weren't as unlucky as one family who had been sold tickets by the train company for access that day. Now she was not happy.
So we went into town, and at least this time there were shops open. Not that Laurie could find anything that fitted. It was all a bit of a nightmare. One amusing thing did happen in Zara. We spent about 3 hours waiting for the changing rooms, and randomly the people in front of us were from Wellington, so we spent a bit of time chatting to them about just how rude Parisians were (we got ignored in a Restaurant, after they asked us if we were having a meal).
So I have decided I don't like Paris at all.
