First off, an explanation.
Two weeks ago an email arrived from Brads Dad saying he was in France on work and did we want to meet up? A flurry of emails later and we were booked on a flight to Paris from Oslo, ditching our flights back to London (RyanAir/cheap so no major loss).
So with very little notice we found ourselves in Paris! Arrived quite late at night, made our way to the hotel and caught up with Brads Dad over a beer or two.
Only had one full day together, so we chose to spend it at Versailles, wandering around, taking in the decadence.

Hall of mirrors, Versailles
Notre-DameNext day Brads Dad left and we moved hotels. Mel got struck down with a supervirus, making life unplesant and confining her to the room for 24 hours.
After a quiet last day of our trip we wandered down to the train station and caught the Eurostar home. 5 weeks away and it's good to be back in London.
Budget tip of the day: if you can't book the Eurostar early to get cheap fares, try travel on a weekday instead of weekends or pick a departure time that's early in the morning or late at night. Heaps cheaper.
