Today was an early start as we wanted to get to Paris early (6:00 am!!! Ugghh)
Another mini had joined our convoy, the lads sponsored by 3M, Dave and Mark.
Dave and Mark infront of us:
Along the way we dicide that a co-driver swap was in order so,
James went in the 3M cooper, Mark went in the Pickup and J was with me.
It was a nice change for everyone and a great chance to have a chat. Also James got a great shot of me zooming along in the mini:
Dave waving as James and him drove past:
We got into Paris at about 2:30 - 3pm.
Now driving right into the center of Paris and trying to keep 2 minis following you is not something I would be overly keen to do again. James did a great job navigating and we all got to the hotel safely. I was shattered!
View driving through Paris (Notre Dame):
We decide to see the sites of Paris with the same guys we had traveled with that day.
The plan was to go up the Eiffel Tower, geat a bit to eat and see the Arc de Triomphe.
WE walked to the Eiffel Tower and decided that we would walk up to the top but as we needed to go back to the hotel to collect a ticket for the hotel parking we decided to go up it later.
We collected the ticket and headed off to see the sights.
We walked to the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysées and the guys did some shopping. We then went looking for a restaurant and ended up at an Italian???? Oh and had more Icecream!!!
What a great photo if I dont say so myself!
Great lights on the tower:

We all had a great evening!
