Yesterday Timo and I spent the day at the happiest place on Earth...Disneyland Paris - it was the best! Timo's a Disneyland veteran, having been to every Disneyland bar one, I had never been before though and was, therefore, incredibly excited. I kept doing a little "OhmygodImgoingtoDisneyland" dance on the street... Timo was kind enough not to ditch me despite his embarrassment.
We went on rides all day and ate a disgusting amount of candy and watched the Disney "Once upon a dream" parade. By the end of the day my face hurt from smiling so much. Have I mentioned that it was the best?

In our first week we hit up most of the sites in Paris. Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower, The Champs-Elysees, The Pompidou Centre, Versailles, Pere Lachaise Cemetery, etc. Then I got lazy...I have taken to spending my days wandering around the streets of Montmartre and The Latin Quarter. They are by far the coolest areas in Paris. Timo and I found the most amazing boulangerie ever in Montmartre the other day (that's right, ever!) It always has a queue out the door and sells the most amazing baked goods I've ever tasted. It also won best baguette in Paris last year! We now have three favourite boulangeries - one in Montmartre, one in The Latin Quarter and one down the street from our hostel, so we're never far from an amazing jambon et fromage sandwhich.
The Latin Quarter is full of amazing things. On one little strip there is a boulangerie, a fromagerie, a charcuterie AND a wine shop all next to each other. It is also home to the Shakespeare and Co. bookstore, and amazing English bookstore. And a fabulous jazz club called Caveau des Oubliettes. We went there one night as it had been recommended by Tomas (our cool Parisian tourguide). It may have cost 9 euros for a pint, but it was totally worth it!
I'm off to Edinburgh on Friday which I am incredibly excited for! Except that I'm slightly concerned about freezing to death...I'll try to get another post up before then though.
Love to you all,
<3 Courtney xx
