Tales from Paris - Lessons learnt



During our time in Paris Amy and I learnt several things which I would like to share.
  
Lessons learnt and things discovered:

1.      Always get off at the metro stop the guidebook tells you to, don’t think you’re clever enough to do it differently. You will get lost.
2.      Amy looks like she is the kind of person who has a secret bag full of whisky
3.      Deaf people aren’t deaf and will try to rip you off
4.      Make sure you know how to use your hotel room key
5.      Spatulas are useful
6.      Montmartre markets aren’t open early
7.      Old French men named Tony will try and chat you up
8.      Learn to appreciate a clever scam that requires talent – “I’m inspired by your eyes, I must draw them”
9.      Random waiters will ask for your hotel room number
10.  You can get lost in the Louvre
11.  Don’t underestimate the length of the Seine
12.  Charge your camera before you leave
13.  If you ask for a late checkout, make sure both receptionists know about it
