paris

omg paris is gorgeous!!
apart from the shocking accommodation that we had to put up (a hole of a bathroom in an alcove beside the stairs, no internet, no lifts!)

but paris is SO beautiful
so many sights
and we scaled the eiffel tower right to the top! yes! on a below zero day climbed to the second part! and im scared of heights with photos to prove jsut how scared i was
and 4 hours is definitely NOT enough to spend at the Louvre even for someone not as interested in art. it is gorgeous
i cannot stop raving about it, definitely on the need to come back lsit

french people are not as snobby as i was told, food is great and the cold is bearable cuz the sun was out.
but we were tired by the end of the day from all the walking
and i must rave about the fantastic metro system, so good, once you get the hang of it!

must wait and see what amsterdam has in store for us

Prague

one thing to learn from: don't exchange money on the street
one suprising thing: after a lacklustre first day, with a dismal show of snow, the last few days have turned out pretty well
good things: BEAUTIFUL architecture, scenery and history, our accommodation, people we met (minus the conmen)
bad things: the cold, conmen, food (boring).

will update with photos later
