break there next month, just because.


Well I suppose my main reason was that I went there with someone in a
wheelchair, and Paris seems to be the most wheelchair-unfriendly city
that I have ever taken my mum to, it's rare to find a bus that has an
operational wheelchair ramp, there is no map avaliable for the metro for
those who want to take wheelchairs on it, and the lowered kerbs aren't
very lowered, plus almost every resturaunt had steps to get in.
Food & Drinks were very expensive (I spent about £5 on a cup of tea),
and there didn't seem to be much around to do, I spent every night in my
room watching BBC World.
