All that TV paid off....

Dont let anyone tell you that watching TV is a waste of time and that you should get out more and learn something....Theyre wrong!! After my years apent watching McGuyver and 24, I found it very useful a couple of days ago. Imagine my horror when i got out of the shower (Easy ladies!!) to find that my unlocked bathroom door wouldnt open and the handle just kept turning in my hand. So after a little while trying a few various ideas that didnt work and the realisation that i would probably be stuck there for days due to the Do Not Disturb sign on my door and not being one of those people who take theyre phones into the bathroom. I decided to take matters into my own hands and used the bin to smash the handle off the door and see if i could have a go at the lock from the inside. After about 45 mins with only a set of nailclippers as a tool, i managed to get the door open and seek freedom!!! Ever wondered what a door lock looks like inside?? Ye need wonder no more!!
Imagine if you can though the look of disbelief on the face of the hotel manager when i showed up at reception with the crumpled remains of a bin and pieces of a door lock to tell them i had broken it and wouldnt be paying for it.

The next 2 days were off wandering around Paris doing the usual touristy stuff like the Eiffel Tower


And the Louvre Museum

Which houses some of the most valuable pieces of art in the world, such as the Mona Lisa.


After 2 days of good food and drink it was off to Lille for the final show before driving overnight to London where i was dropped off at Heathrow airport to fly home. So thats Europe over with for a while, all attention shifts to North America in 2 weeks time, so until then i bid you Adieu and Bonsoir!!
