We were so blessed to have our cool friends from NZ pay for us to go with them to Paris with them in the New Year! Thanks Mike & Susi and to the others who gave us some spending money!!! We had a great time!
Sacre Coeur
Anna's Favourite Friend
Falling into the Seine
Sam fascinated in the Louvre
We had 3 days to see the main sights! So, with the kids in tow, and with Mike, Susi, Jorgi & Pete and Andrew (Mike's bro), Victoria, Thomas and Eve, we traipsed around Paris - getting to know the Metro really well. We had an awesome time; got practically frostbitten on many days and survived the 6 hour drive there and back.
It snowed the day we left!
Arc d'e Triomphe
Notre Dame
Playing!
Champs Elysees
Working out the routeBut - have you ever heard people say - "DON'T EVER TAKE A CAR INTO PARIS!" Well . . . we now know why they said that!!!! It took Mike and Bryce about 2 and a half hours to find a park when we arrived! And then there is the roundabouts . . . no lanes; no rules!!
But we had a blast! And last week we had to say goodbye to our friends. It was tough! Come back guys!!!!

Ha love it! Yes Paris is caos in a car, but it is probably the cheapest way for you all to get there. The weather looked freezing, you poor things. So pleased you had a nice time. Great photos too.
oooh, i have fabulous memories of our Three Daze In Paris - it was the height of summer and the world cup soccer final and completely magical.
loved all the museums and towers and La Seine - and cathedrals - (i can feel myself starting to babble lol)...
so glad you had such a blast with the mates!
love and sunshine X
