Paris and Bruges

Guess who’s back…………..back again……………Mr Lunt is back…………tell a friend etc.

Went away last week. Did the following:

1. Went to Paris

My pa was over from Oz and staying in Paris so popped over to see him. Did a few arguably
touristy things (the Louvre and an open top bus tour) and also walked the streets of Paris for hours searching for cool things to see and cool places to eat and drink, which was very easy to do. Failed to meet up with Evans as she fled the country upon hearing of my imminent arrival (this type of thing has happened before, it’ll happen again), but esteemed former London colleague Mai didn't manage to escape and allowed me to crash her regular Thurs night wine/cheese thing in central Paris. It was really cool - would do it every week for ever if I lived in Paris. Cheese was well nice (technical term often used by cheese buffs) though the lack of beer was a slight cause for concern (got a dirty look from waiter, and one of the girls sitting with us, when I asked for one). I classed it up in the end though with a bottle of Reisling which I was informed was 'like cat's piss'. Whoops.

2. Drank lovely beer in Bruges

Trained it over to Bruges which is very, very touristy but still very pretty and nice. Saw what there was to see in the few days we had there and sampled one or two (or twenty) Belgian beers. Ace.

It won't let me put pictures on. What's up with this flaming thing. Will try and put them on as a new post.
