I’m in Paris!

I left for Dover (UK) at about 7pm thursday evening and boarded the ferry at about half 9. The ferry departed at about 10-10:30pm and arrived at around midnight in Dunkerque (France). My initial idea was to drive straight from Dunkerque to Germany but I decided that since I was pretty tired then maybe I’d go for something a little closer to start with and sent an SMS to a friend back in the UK asking for the postcode of the eiffel tower in Paris.. Over 200 miles later I’m in the centre of Paris at about 3:30am and decided to get some rest at a ‘rest stop’ and got a couple hours sleep in my car. I set off to find a hotel at about 9am.

Let me tell you, driving in France is madness! The roads are generally poorly maintained and most have no lighting nor cats eyes in the ground. Many roads don’t even have lane markings so traffic kind of just merges into one big lump with everyone trying to fight for some space. I supose I got the raw end of the deal being in Paris because its obviously going to be one of the busiest parts of France but its just so crazy I cannot even explain it. It’s just dangerous.

Anywayyyy, I managed to find a hotel and had an nice shower and change my clothes then I went and spent today at the eiffel tower (it was SO SUNNY!) where I met a lovely little ladie who taught me the tradition of kissing goodbye… whoooo lol.

Right now I’m using a wifi at 4.50 euros an hour which isn’t too bad I guess. I’m trying to decide what to do next. No matter what; I will be sleeping in Paris tonight but I just don’t know about tomorrow. If I don’t leave for Germany early in the morning then it’s just not going to be possible to make it there, do something and make it back to Dunkerque by Monday. So I have to decide whether to stay in Paris for a couple more nights and check out some museums and such like… maybe even disney land LOL I like crazy rides OR find something to do in germany.. Or a whole different country!

Edit: Oh bollox! I thought going to Paris would actually bring me a bit closer to Germany but its added about an hour!!!!

Edit2: With the help of a mate I have decided on going to Belgium and then Holland and then back to Dunkerque. Wahey let the good times roll!
