PARIS, JE T'AIME

Choosing a foreign destination based on a zero carbon footprint strategy, the EuroStar to Paris was an obvious choice. No check in, no two hours in advance, no weight restrictions and no confiscation of liquids proved very pleasing indeed. A few quick glances on Jean Nouvel's celebrated but not amazing buildings formed the architectural curriculum - the cultural lessons being told what to order and what NOT to order for breakfast, no matter how hungry you are!
