Yes, London, although not on the itinerary we took the scenic route to Paris. Unfortunately, our Qantas plane out of Melbourne needed minor repairs to the hydraulic brake cable which resulted in a 75 minute delay in departure. As a flow on effect, we missed our flight to Paris and were rebooked on a Qantas flight to London continuing to Paris this morning. We were lucky enough to fly on an Airbus from Singapore to London - it was my best flight ever. So smooth, wonderful take-off and landing and the craft had plenty of room. Experienced a nightmare taxi ride into Paris - had to remove my nails from the dashboard and felt like we were playing a part in the latest 'Bourne' chase! - we are so glad that we are not driving. Had a quick walk around the Eiffel quarter, such contrasts between the beauty of the old historic architecture and the beast of the 70's. Looking forward to a good sleep tonight, as neither of us slept during the 25 hours of flying.
