Our first hours in Paris

I'm sitting in our apartment in Montmartre! Restaurants and cafes everywhere. We are on the 3rd floor and everyone's voices float up, even children are out and about at 11.30pm! Been awake 48 hours and we are exhausted though I did sleep the 7 hours between Dubai and Paris. Julie and I didn't have champagne at Dubai! It was $112.00 for a bottle! White wines please. Getting the metro from the airport to Abbesses was our first adventure! Finding your way between platforms for different metro lines was a challenge as the one we were meant to et was closed! But we made it and poor Jules was a real trooper as she was utterly dead on her feet after 36 hours travelling! I am drinking a 'charming' merlot from the local shop. €4.40! I went out to buy bread but of course you can't buy it from the 'deli' and the boulangerie is closed. I can't wait to wake up in the morning! Best get some sleep. Our apartment is old and run down and its so typical Paris!! Magic! We are off to the fleamarkets tomorrow.
