Dag 2
Auf Entdeckungstour
4 juni 2022, Frankrijk ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
Halbwegs von der kurzen Nacht erholt, wachten wir gegen 07.30 Uhr auf. Dann gab es erstmal ein gemütliches Frühstück in einem typischen französischen Café.

Dann ging es zu Fuß weiter zum zwanzigminütig entfernten „Sacé Cœur“. Noch regnete es, doch der Himmel riss auf und die Sonne kam langsam heraus. Vorbei an den kleinen Läden und den gemütlichen Restaurants entdeckten wir die nähere Umgebung.Meer informatie

Last day in Paris
7 mei 2022, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
Our bodies finally let us sleep in today - we’ve been pretty confused, physically - so it was nice to get some good rest.

Today was a nice relaxing day. We started with the Sacre Couer Basilica, a church which was beautiful!! Then we hit Montmarte - it is an artists haven, and authentic Parisian village. Gorgeous. We decided to go to a different area of the city and stopped at the Galerie Lafayette Hausmann - basically a shopping mall. But like all things in Paris, it was FANTASTIC. We finished our final day in Paris as we started it, sitting in the grass at the foot of the Eiffel Tower eating crepes.

I would definitely give Paris a 10! It’s been a wonderful way to start our time in Europe.Meer informatie

Pt. 1 of Paris
29 mei 2023, Frankrijk ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
So far:

-Lucie (and the police) think I got conned but is it even a con if you knew they were lying and you bought them food anyways? 😅 Okay, maybe.

-We visited Moulin Rouge and wow... There are so many sex shops around it.

-We went on a train, a bus, and the RER (similar to a subway but still smelled like literal sewage).

-THERE ARE ALMOST ZERO ATMs AND THE ONE WE FOUND HAD A MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL OF 50 EURO!

-We saw the Paris Opera.

-We saw the Lafayette Gallery and the ceiling was AMAZING... But hot dang I can't afford anything in there (including the bathrooms).

-We saw the Arc de Triomphe.

-Now we are at Casa Luca, an Italian restaurant that had a bathroom I could use in the basement if we ate lunch.Meer informatie

Paris Day Three - The Marathon
2 april 2023, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
What else is there to say about day three in Paris?

We ran the Paris Marathon. And finished it, thankfully.

That’s mara number 7 and they don’t seem to get any easier for me….

Krissi and I are both still feeling jet-lagged, but 6 months of training kicked in.

Why do marathon designers decide that there should be a climb near the end? This one had a 5km climb from 35-40km. Merde.

Really wanted to walk at that point, but got a text messages from Nicole all the way back in Melbourne at JUST the right moment. Took her advice, gritted my teeth and pushed through.

Also got lots of nice messages from family and friends who were tracking our runs on the app. Put the pressure on, but it had the end result of me pushing through the pain and self doubt.

Anyway, happy to report I got a PB! I went quicker by about 1.5 minutes than my previous best. It’s still a PB!

The journey back to our AirBNB was interesting - got so cold I was violently shaking and thought I was going to vomit on the train. A French guy also pushed past and stole my seat, thanks mate. Merde.

Finally, I am SO proud of Kristine who finished the mara - she has now completed Paris, NY and Sydney Marathons.

Wrapped up the day with a meal out at a French restaurant. Which seems to mean all the meat is raw and the chips are cold. But I’m tired so I won’t complain….🤣

We missed Alex and the Campbells a lot today - I know Krissi would have loved to share the experience with her. Maybe they will have to train up together for London 2024…. 🤣Meer informatie

Discovery. Recovery. Alone in Paris.
21 november 2023, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Bon voyage. Au revoir. The tour is terminé. Luigi has returned to Mario. My new friends, either on return flights home or extending their time in Paris by a few days. I'm en route to Orly airport and heading for Istanbul!

Yesterday was an epic day of rest. 15,000 steps aside, I rested. Mostly. And it was beautiful. I moved hotels to have access to a gym, save $200 and be closer to the airport.

I'm astounded by the balconies that aren't quite balconies. There's really not much preventing a fall. Not a thought to indulge.

I chose yesterday to indulge my other passion. Food. I sat in a beautiful Parisian Cafe. I read. I pondered life. And dined on Mille Feuille- with raspberries. A snot block back home. Délicieuse. Not as good as a snot block from Richmond Bakery and Cafe in Tasmania (award winning snottie, circa 2003). I'm pretty worldly it seems.

My lack of research prior to this trip has finally tripped me up. I can't get to the catacombs. Booked for days / weeks in advance. The Louvre? I attempted a visit yesterday, walking the 30 minutes there. I'd not planned it well. The line was long. I had however walked off my indulgences. AND! Successfully navigated all on my lonesome, the 1 hour return on foot. #learningmapreading.

I'll google the great arts. I know it's not the same, but it's the best I can do in limited time and mental capacity.

Continuing my quest for authentic (and delicious) French food, I ask a local for a tip. I head to Brasserie Pastis. I cleverly navigate my way there. Knowing I won't be sharing air with 36 others on a confined coach and can fart freely, I order a French staple. soupe à l'oignon française. French onion soup. It is stunning.

I follow with another favourite. Crème brûlée à la vanille. I declare it the best I've ever had.

This quaint French bistro is everything I needed in that moment. A tonic for my health and heart.

I wake at the ungodly hour of 5am today to get a run in. I manage just shy of 9km before I'm politely kicked out. I'm relieved. Exhausted. I had reserved the gym 5-6am. I should've been up at 4. C'est la vie. The final leg of my journey offers many more opportunities to train.

Viva la France. Onwards to Istanbul and the Mediterranean.

Au revoir.Meer informatie

Paris Nu.1
1 augustus 2023, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
We got to Paris and I felt immediately more comfortable because the heat wasn’t as harsh. Our first day in Paris we decided to go to the Arc de Triumph. As we walked to the Arc de Triumph we walked into a supermarket ( and it seems that all supermarkets in Paris are two story) and got some lunch. We also stumbled across a museum of French history with World War Two and Napoleon. It also had Napoleon’s tomb attached to it. We learned all about the concentration camps and Napoleon himself. His tomb was massive( for such a small guy) it felt like we were in the set of lord of the rings. We then walked the rest of the way to the Arc de Triumph, it was quite massive and the streets around it were full of performers and people, and a-lot of people taking Instagram photos. The culture seems very different too, like everyone seems to dress very well and for some reason there are a lot of vans, but I don’t think that’s culture. The Architecture around Paris is so cool because they have old things that look really old and are nice to look at and their modern things look old because of the style,if that makes sense.

On our third day we went to the Eiffel Tower and the catacombs. We walked to the Eiffel Tower, and found that there were a lot of “influencers” and people standing in the middle of the road to take photos and of course, Dad being Dad decided to join them. We walked to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, but we couldn’t go to the top because it was closed due to the wind. You could see all of Paris laid out in front of you, and the walk up was definitely worth it. After the Eiffel Tower we walked to the catacombs which is a room full of people’s bones super far underground. Under there it was cold, eerie, and a-bit Scooby dooish. All the walls were lined with bones and dirt which made you feel a-bit sick. We also learned that the orphans of France were trained to dig up dead people( because there wasn’t enough space in the graveyard) and bring them underground by candlelight and line the walls with there bones. To some up the day they both had extremely different vibes and for one we went to the highest point in Paris and the lowest.Meer informatie

Fabulous first day in Paris. We fast trained in from Lyon where we had to stopover to have a few hours sleep after busing from Turin. This was an extra stop because of the rockfall in the alps which has stopped all trains passing through.Meer informatie

Paris Day One
31 maart 2023, Frankrijk ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
Landed at 10pm Thursday evening in Paris after a 13 hour flight. After being awake for nearly 24 hours we were all fairly delirious - which was made all the better when our Airbnb host outsourced the key handover / intro to a neighbour who I think was drunk - at least that would explain why he managed to partly open the wrong house for us. Lucky the real owners were home and had bolt locked the door.

Finally got to bed at midnight and slept until 5am. Which is now 3 days straight in 3 different countries I’ve woken up at 5am and not been able to get back to sleep. But always 5am in the local Timezone. Bizarre. With only 2 nights until the mara I will definitely need a good night sleep soon.

Today we started slowly, did some work and then headed by train into the mara expo. It wasn’t as slick as NY but still had a warehouse full of running merch. Managed to restrain ourselves and just get one t-shirt and a hoody each. The free gift was a running back pack.

Then caught a bus from there to the Champs De Mars and picked up some baguettes - and onto the Eiffel Tower.
Took a lot of photos of the tower, very original.

Walked from there through to the Arc de Triumph which was spectacular- mostly for the random road rules everyone seems to use to navigate this massive roundabout. We sat by the Champs De Élysées and watched the chaos unfold. I hope there is a live YouTube channel of this - I’d watch it for hours.

Caught another bus from there back to the house - and right now I’m trying not to fall asleep too early while Krissi is off shopping for supplies.

Kids are cactus, but hopefully a quiet evening does the trick.Meer informatie

Arc de Triomphe
5 juni 2022, Frankrijk ⋅ 🌧 21 °C
Nach der Schiffsfahrt war uns nach etwas Bewegung zumute und wir fuhren zum „Arc de Triomphe“.

Dieser erschien mir viel größer als gedacht. Dann schlenderten wir über die „Champs-Élysées“. Diese war für Autofahrer gesperrt, weil immer im ersten Juniwochenende diese nur für Fußgänger freigegeben ist. Wir machten einen vermeintlich kurzen Stop bei Starbucks, welcher sich auf eine halbe Stunde ausweitete, dadurch die Mitarbeiter etwas überfordert schienen.

Zurück im Hotel machten wir uns schick für den Abend.Meer informatie
