Mum left us to the airport with our huge rucksacks where we kept panicking we had forgotten something!! We were flying directly to Paris.
Had our first Burger King of the holiday in the airport, I tried queing executively but failed miserably!! and we had the joy of a screaming baby on the plane - Brillant!
We landed in Paris at 9pm and walked the length of the airport trying to find the train station when we finally found it, it took us forever trying to find where to buy tickets and then we 'hmmd' and 'haad' about getting on the train but we eventually did! We got the train to Gare du Nord (the central train station) and then the metro to 'Barbes' Where we were staying! (Can't say I would recommend it).
Stepping of the metro we had no idea where our hotel 'montmatre clignancourt' was! The directions given by the hostel were very breif! It was late, we were tired and a bit scared of the locals! We rang the hotel who spoke very little english and really did not help, my GCSE french wasn't helping either!!
In the end 2 lovely ladies showed us the way (we think they must have been prostitutes).
Our room was very basic but not too bad for our tight budget! We walked to the shop for some food then headed to bed knowing we would have a busy day tomorrow- sleep was vital!
Oh but then the fire alarm went off THREE times in the middle of the night between 2.20 and 3.40 and we all had to evacuate - people were smoking in their rooms - fabulous!
