Just for reference, the hotel we stayed at was the "Grand Hotel Nouvel Opera" on Avenue Ledru Rollin. It was clean, tidy and comfortable - perfect for a base of operations. If, however, you planned on staying in the lap of luxury or wanted to spend a lot of time in your hotel room, I would recommend you look elsewhere. Functional as a hotel room and well situated.
On Monday, I received a phone call from the travel company I got the free Paris flights from asking me if I wanted to use them. I said that we had just come back but we would probably be heading back to Paris early next year. They will call me back in November :)
I've been pricing up details for Copenhagen - about the same as Paris, but I have very little detail about travel around the city (although it is pretty small).
One thing that struck us after being away for a few days, was how much things had changed in our home town. These are probably things that have changed over a few weeks or so, but we only noticed them when we got back. Shops been re-fitted, new shops opened, massive roadworks, etc. Had they been waiting for us to go away and then embarked on a massive amount of changes, so as to fool us on our return? Which would mean they also knew we were leaving, meaning that we are being watched!
Monday night, I got home around 9.30pm and last night not until 11pm. Both days I started at 9am, so I am taking Thursday morning off as TOIL (time off in lieu) to spend some time with Shell and catch some Zs.
This evening, I may crack open the bottle of Rum that Shell bought me in Paris. After a couple of long days, a nice sit down, a drink and some relaxing time would be good. Which means something drastic will happen later this evening, it will all go to pot and I'll end up more knackered than I am already :)
