Day 96 - Paris

2 months of sun finally came to an end when a widespread Europe weather pattern brought rain and cold conditions to Paris on a pretty miserable Sunday.

Notre Dame Cathedral
With not too much to do we took advantage of the generous Buffett breakfast before cheering on the Aussies their world cup rugby game against Sth Africa - the game result almost us nerve wrecking as having KH in bed with me (claiming his bed did not allow for good TV viewing) watching it !

We journeyed out towards Disneyland and the amazing shopping pricing at Val de Europe which we found with our finely tuned directional skills walking 2kms around the block in the rain when the entrance was only 200 metres from the train station.

The shopping area was set up like a village with every designer label you could think of having their own outlet - I thanked god that I was without female company knowing that this would have been nirvana for them and costly for me !

Shopping done there was little else to do other than eat and our choice of a local Chinese buffet meal was inspired ! Where else in Paris could you eat partially warm lunch left overs and get a scolding at the same time for not following due etiquette, for me it was using the wrong spoon and for Kev it was attempting to start with a desert thinking the fried item was an entree!

A lazy Sunday in Paris with the big stress test of trying to find bike boxes due tommorrow !
