First day of my 26 day tour of Europe and it begins in the city of lights! PARIS
I met my new crew this morning at the Clink Hostel where approximately 40 people where to start the tour with me (this is twice as many as last tour). We then headed to Devon to board the ferry to the port of Calais. Once in Calais we then had a 5 hour bus trip to Paris.
In Paris we stayed in the out skirts of Paris in an area called Emile Reunaud which I found was quite dirty and the first place I was not comfortable walking around by myself.
That night the group went out for dinner just around the corner from our hostel were I tried snails French onion soup and beef bourguignon for main.
We then got back on the bus for the city of lights tour where I had my first pictures of Eiffel Tower and saw many of the main sights for Paris which I would be able to see in more detail tomorrow. I also had my first experience of hawkers trying to sell Eiffel tower key rings and potential be pick pockets. It was also quite funny because as soon as the hawkers see the police they run. This is because they are not allow to sell things there. Many of the sites i have seen tonight i will be able to go back to tomorrow to further explore in more detail.
