Paris day 2


After our bagette breakfast the plan for today was to hit the Musee .We headed to the Louvre to beat the crowds and did a quick fast walk around just focussing on the main things, Mona Lisa, venus de milo etc. We headed then to Musee de Orangerie with Monets waterlilies that go all the way around the room. Joel was not impressed but he had already had his fill of art at the Louvre. We walked home purchasing our lunch on the way. We found a wonderful cheese shopwith all manner of mouldy cheese circles which was very pungent and bought some Brie ,then a fruit shop for banans and pear then a bakery for croissants ,a slice of cheesecake and some lollies and we were done. After lunch back at the hotel we skyped Ben and caught up with the news of home and saw Zebedee via video .In the evening we went to a sidewalk cafe for dinner but it was very americanised not real french but nice anyway on the way home Carlie spotted some jeans in a shop half price and bought them. Joel went up to a girl in this shop thinking it was Carlie and said "come on Carlie its time to go" and the girl turned around and said something in french to him which he found quite embarrissing.
