Back in Blighty

Alright I'm back in England. I enjoyed Paris more than I thought I would. When I first saw it 20 years ago, it seemed so different and overwhelming. This time it seemed like a lot of other continental cities I've visited, only on a grander scale.

Yes, the boulevards are broader, the monuments grander, the museums bigger. But the food's not better and the beer's not cheaper. I'd consider going back, but there are other places I haven't been to yet.

I'd love to see Vienna, I haven't been to Portugal - and I've been trying to get the Vol-in-Law to agree to a trip to Rome (with little success thus far). Plus there are all those new EU countries in the East to see.
