Day 17 - back to Paris

This was a travelling day. We went back to Paris and checked into the Mercure next to the Garden du Nord. We took a taxi from Austerlitz to Nord, rather than struggle with the suitcases through the Metro again.

The Gard du Nord area is very very different to St Germaine and we had just spent about a week in the country so we were suffering a bit of culture shock. We had to mail some stuff home, so we set off in search of packing tape. In, probably, the wrong direction. Eventually, with the help of a friendly news vendor, we found the Virgin Megastore which had a stationery department.

That was our excitement for the day.
