Five days in Paris as a belated birthday treat. Me. 30. Not exactly the relaxing, romantic holiday we were expecting. Two kids, (one with a mean gastro bug), one very small hotel room and one very big lesson learnt. Next time we need a seperate bedroom. Somewhere to put Elke to sleep before the rest of us. Who wants to go to sleep at 7:30pm in one of the most beautiful cities in the world?

Ah gay Paris. How I wish we could stay forever.
