Just a quickie to say hi before I board the train for Rome.

Last couple of days in Paris have been pretty hectic, but in a good way. I met some Americans and a fellow Aussie at my hostel and have spent my evenings swapping stories and sharing a bit if wine with them. Yesterday I caught up with Ella's friend, Ali, who is pretty much the nicest person on the planet! We met up at notre dame and she showed me where she's studying at the uni here, then we tackeld the metro to have coffee in the square where Victor Hugo lived before spending the rest of the afternoon iceskating, which was awesome. There were lots of tweenagers showing off who almost got us killed on multiple occassions, but we didn't stack it once! Go us!

Today I toddled down to musee d'orsay: an art gallery hosed in an old train station showcasing some of the most famous works from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and which, just quietly is so much cooler than the louvre.

For the next week I'm on a contiki tour and don't know whether or not I'll have access to the net, so, devistating a it may be, you may not hear from me again until I reach Salzburg. Don't worry, Mum, I'll text you every day!

Well, time to once again shoulder my pack (I hate that thing so much and am considering burning it when I get home) and set off for the train!

Much love to you all,
Margs

PS - Very excited, the family have picked out a new puppy, a black lab. We're naming Moet. They get her a few weeks after I get back! So excited!!!
