Hancock

Very entertaining and most definitely “not your average superhero”. Surprisingly twisty and has a lot more plot than I was expecting.

Ahh, Paris!

It has been almost a month since Ria and I were in Paris and I’m only just blogging about it. My excuse? I’ve been busy!

We flew out from Edinburgh on a Wednesday and stayed all the way through until Sunday. Not too short, but also not too long. We stayed in an Apart-Hotel, basically a hotel room with an attached wee kitchen. It was a pretty good size and superbly located just off the Rue de Rivoli, about 2 minutes walk from the Louvre.

We managed to cram in a lot of sights: Musée d’Orsay, Eiffel Tower, Palais Royale, Rodin Museum, Musée des Arts et Métiers (science & technology), The Louvre, Cathédrale Notre Dame, cruise on the Seine, Musée Carnavalet, Sacre Coeur, Pompidou Centre, the cafe from Amelie, Montmartre, crazy bookshops and of course, lots of sitting drinking coffee and watching the world go by.

Being a geek, I took along my Bluetooth GPS receiver and had it logging when I remembered to turn it on. You can see an amalgamation of our wandering on Google Maps here. The crazy straight lines are when we descending into the Metro and then popped up somewhere else.

I have rather a lot of photos on Flickr, so here are some of my favourites:
