I realized I had left out quite a few cities along the way so I thought I'd write some blurbs about those. By the way, I am currently back in Scotland, so if anyone wants to call I have a mobile again! 07896274501 (UK number).

Last place was... Avignon, France.
- well it was a really pretty city. The entire old town area was still surrounded by a town wall so that gave it a neat feel. However, I was staying in a ghetto hostel out of the city, and got bit to death by mosquitos, and I was at the peak of my sickness, and it was 500 degrees out. Ha ha. Despite that it was really nice. Spent most of my time wandering around or sleeping in the park at the top of the hill. I got to see the famous bridge (remember the song?) but you actually had to pay to go out on it. What's that all about? It's broken too!

Then came Paris, France.
- Finally eh? I think it was a little overhyped in my head (geez I've turned into a snobby jaded traveller) but I still really enjoyed it. Pretty much did all the touristy things; Arc de Triomphe, Champs d'Elysees (yes I know my spelling is horrible), Cathedral de Notre Dame, Moulin Rougue, Montmartre, Eiffel tower, Musee d'Orsay, Louvre. The museums especially were wonderful,and of course the Eiffel tower at night (when I climbed up the stairs). I think the only reasons I didn't love it was the fact that it was just so big. Oh the Mona Lisa is much smalle rthan you think it is going to be. I ran into 3 different groups of people I knew which was a good sign I had been travelling too long :).

As I am out of time I shall update more later...
