Sydney today, Europe tomorrow











{September 8, 2008}   I’m in Paris…

So I have made to old Paris. Paris itself is amazing, today has not. Where do I start

Firstly let me say I am pretty tired&Cranky so this retarded French keyboard is pissing me off more than it probably would.  The letters are in different places so I keep stuffing up words

This morning it started off crap coz I was sharing a room with 2 snoring Americans so didnt get much sleep last night. Anyway first off the shitty hostel said I had 2 pay 10 extra Euros for my room which pissed me off cos I didnt have enough cash in my wallet and the retards didnt take credit card either. The ATM outside wasnt working either so I went to search for another one; ended up getting totally lost in shithole Athens. I had a map but ended up getting directed even further away from the hostel. Tried to hail one of ten millions taxis that went past me; seriously they said theres like 10 000 cabs in Athens but none of them stopped and then when one did they didnt speak English!!! By now one and a half hrs had passed and I was getting stressed cos needed to catch my plane to Paris by 10.20am. Finally found a cab driver who would take me back to my hostel and then to airport: the traffic ended up being terrible and by the time I got to airport even with him speeding like a maniac the gate closing time had passed. Luckily just made it in and got onto plane. Thought all was OK except got to Orly Airport in Paris and it was total chaos and couldnt find my backpack anywhere!

Its not all bad I suppose; I do have small suitcase with few clothes; better than having nothing. Do hope it  turns up though, guess I will have 2 use Travel Insurance otherwise. See travelling is not so magnifique sometimes

So tired now; been a long day. But I am happy to be here; it really is beautiful, cant wait to sightsee tomorrow

Wearily yours…
