Day 45 - Paris (France) - Chilling with my chook

ACTUALLY CHILLING WITH MY DUCK AND SOME RELATIVES. Why take a photo of a duck? I guess just to show the difference in cultures and how the Vietnamese don't waste anything! (I've tried fish eyes and chicken feet... but am yet to try a ducks head). Today after relieving a duck of it's crispy skin and succulent flesh we were shown the town by one of Yen's cousins and his girlfriend... perhaps might have been better when we first arrived in Paris, but they still showed us some things we wouldn't have discovered. In particular after visiting the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur (read: the church on top of the hill)... then wander the streets behind it and you'll see a fantastic arts district... painters/sketchers as far as your canvas can stretch. After leaving there it was off to the Eiffel Tower to finally climb it... be prepared to wait though.. and given the long queues bring a warm jacket because the winds can get very cold, even in summer! Make sure you head to the top because it's another great view of Paris... head at dusk and get the best of both day and night (then when you're done prepare to queue to get back down!).
LESSON FOR THE DAY: Rug up for the Eiffel Tower and allow plenty of time.
