Paris - finally

I'm here. I'm here!

Things already have started to turn around. My bag was the first one out of the chute. The shuttle bus picked me up almost as soon as I went outside the airport. I was the first on the bus to be dropped at her destination. My host was out for half an hour and it was raining, so I went across the road to a restaurant and had supreme comfort food - macaroni et trois fromages (hee), mousse aux chocolate, a glass of house red and a very strong espresso. I checked in to La Villa Paris (my lovely room is the last one on this page, and for the first time ever the photos actually do the real thing justice). I had a glorious shower. I checked my email and blogged to wind down. And now I am very happily lying on my very large, fluffy white bed, and am going to have a nap because I have finally hit the wall.

Totoro, however, is wide awake.

  1. Cute photo :) But Totoro is either very jetlagged or has just seen something horrific on the streets of Paris.

  4. Ahh yes!! there is nothing as good as a hot shower after a ridiculously long trip ...

    The only thing better is when its your own shower when you get home ...
