We kipped in a quiet spot near a nature reserve the other night... we set outselves up for badger spotting but had no joy only a lone fox looking a bit curious. The next day a nice walk on a beach where the tide was way out. there were lots of granite rocks strewn with empty crab shells of every colour..shades of yellow, dusky pinks, vivid purples, blue and some quite translucent. The sea was at least a mile from the shore line and we wandered back with it slowly following us as the tide came in.
Finally we have made it to Paris. It was a bit of a long travel day - we decided to come by train so we could experience the full glory of British Rail or whatever it's called now which actually delivered perfectly on time... and then the Eurostar which was incredibly disappointing! All that beautiful St. Pancreas Station and the Eurostar is sited in the dungeon... overcrowded, dark, lousy facilitated space... and then the train was an hour late it felt like a long time before we got any fresh air - but eventually we wound up in gay Paree... We navigated the metro and found our airbnb gaff. A mere 70 steps to the fourth floor on a rather lovely winding wooden staircase to a very nice roof top flat which is comfortable and gives a view across a lovely Courtyard with some obviously much posher flats. It's located really centrally about two minutes away from the Opera Garnier so a very good location for getting everywhere...
