An interesting weekend…!
On Friday evening I went out to do the ‘rando roller’ again. I had looked at the proposed route and saw that they were going to have the break at the eiffel tower! I was determined to make it there. I didn’t realise however it was about 23km in 1.5hrs! I was COMPLETELY exhausted! But I couldn’t stop until I was under the tower! I had only taken half a litre of water with me. d’oh! ![]()
This is the proof I made it! However getting back was really hard becuase I was so exhuasted and so thirsty that I wanted to throw up! I’ve certainly learnt my lesson!!
Then on Saturday I went to meet a girl who might be interested in mission in France. She has been in Paris a week so I thought maybe we could do something touristy before having a coffee and talking. So as usual I wanted to try something a bit different! In my tourist guide the tour of the paris sewers is classed as ‘an often forgotten gem’. So I suggested me we go!
NEVER EVER GO THERE! It is sooooooo foul it is untrue!
I thought it would be a museum with horrible stories to make you go ewww. but in fact it is the sewers themselves, covered by a metal grill, above which there are posters with info. The sights, sounds and smells leave nothing to the imagination and it was 3pm before we were able to eat lunch!
What a lovely intro to mission in France! ha ha ha!! You can always count on me!
BTW: My noisey neighbours have been away all weekend and it has been bliss to sleep without ear plugs! But while writing this post they arrived back. My heart has sunk…
