Algernon in Paris


Hi all,

This is Little Munch, our slave Mieke went away for the weekend to Paris.
Algernon and me decided to tag along and see a bit of France and the eiffel tower ourselves.

It was very early in the morning when we were dropped off by the other slave at the train station, in the picture above you can see us passing Delft.

Above you can see Mikey's train ticket to Paris. She was going there with some ladies from her sewing class to shop for fabrics and nice trimmings(!) Weird slave, huh? You can see the fog on the pastures, it was that early in the morning! We looked drowsily out of the window...

Luckily the train journey to Paris only takes a 2 and a half hours!! I took some nice pigtures of Algernon at the Paris 'Gare du nord' Station,

and outside the 'Gare de l'est' station which was opposite the hotel.

Just below the Sacre coeur there were many nice fabric stores. But we of course were much more interested in the Sacre Coeur. You can see in the pic what an impressive building this is, located on the top of the hill Montmartre. Slave and her friends were very tired after climbing the 130 meters (approximately 426,5 ft) high hill of montmartre.

The view from the Sacre Coeur was very nice...

Here you can see a close up of Algernon at the Sacre Coeur.


Later that day we had an appointment with all the ladies to go for dinner, and met near this fountain. This was of course something we had to check out! Can you see Algernon at the bottom of the statue?


Then we were finally off to see the Eiffel tower!! Our slave bought some mini eiffel tower-keychains, which Algernon will take along on his journey. If one of the next hosts of Algernon would like one, be our guest and keep one, sending the rest on with Algernon as he continues his journey.
Doesn't the Eiffel tower look huge?


The next day our slave just went shopping, so we didn't make any interesting pigtures to show you. But Algernon had to have a taste of the French everyday life....


Au revoir, mon amis! *hic*
Little Munch and Algernon Rat
p.s. Slave Mikey did NOT buy any fabrics or trimmings on this trip...*sigh*
