London

What an amazing 5 days! Seeing my sister for the first time in a year and 8 months, meeting hilarious people, catching up with friends and experiencing a glimpse of what London had to offer. Just perfect.

Paris

Even after the 4 hour drive to Calgary airport, the 8.5 hour flight to london, the hour standing in line at customs, the hour on the London tube, and then the 2.5 hour train to Paris, I realised I still hadn't made any plans as to what I was going to do once I got there! So I waited for another hour for a friend to arrive and kicked on into the night.

Waking afresh, I was excited to see what I could of this historic town! However, it turns out I didn't really see that much at all, rather choosing to wander the streets, soaking up the atmosphere as well as an astounding amount of cigarette smoke.
