Paris was mostly not a success, due to my persistent bad luck, but there was a window of about 9 hours where we did quite a lot.

Stella walked about 30 km over a couple of days, and we saw a fair bit of Paris. We even saw the French armed military take out a suspected terrorist. They don’t mess around, the French. This guy was knocked off his feet without warning and cuffed and bundled into a van. About 30 armed police/ army arrived at the scene ( base of Eiffel Tower ) very quickly.

Now back, the almost drowning in water routine is working, but if I go 2 hours without drinking a pint of water, I start spasming etc

Luckily I don’t Mind gulping water like a whale, then…
