and I still have no idea where I'm staying (good going Cary). I've semi-researched a promising hostel, it has a hammock relaxation room (get out of town), an underground bar/nightclub, free breakfast, free wifi, right near the Eiffel Tower, dress-up/themed parties (no STOP it)... now that sounds like my kind of place. Let's hope they have a bed for me. Despite not knowing where I'll be sleeping, I do know where I'm going for the best chocolat chaud in the whole of Paris and I have a guided tour of the oldest markets followed by a cooking lesson by a famous French chef up my sleeve, eeee. In life, you just have to decide what's important, sleeping is reasonably important... yes, but hot chocolate and cooking lessons in Paris, even MORE important. Other great life lessons by the guru of humbug and all things irrational and silly to come... do stay tuned.
