Paris, je t’aime

Paris is absolutely freezing in February so god knows why we chose to go then! But it was fantastic to go back to Paris; to see the Eiffel Tower, to eat great food, to offend French people. And as always we had a mission: to compile Fifty Facts Française and make a video.

You’ll have to wait a little while for the video (it’s still being edited) but check out the photos below (all beautifully graded by Iain).

London: A-Z

A trip to London, the challenge: to visit 26 sights, from A to Z, in order. Yeah, so, we didn’t actually plan this and instead just turned up in London with some cameras, a map and a travel card. We made a good job of it though, we got to all 26 sights.

Piccadilly Circus – Sight 16 (The letter P)

We covered almost the whole of London and we hardly ever cheated (except maybe for Z) walking almost 11 miles and travelling by tube for over 25 miles. There’s even a map of our trip!

We’ve made a little video, you should get a good feeling for how we got on. And you can flick through the photos too.

London: 50 sights

Every day London is flooded with thousands of tourists trying see the sights, we set out to take tourism to its limits.

Early on a crisp Spring morning we set off to London, travelling from the quiet beauty of the South into the grey hustle and bustle of the big city. Our goal: to see the best that the city had to offer. Out challenge: to visit 50 famous sights…in a single day.

We ran across London like mad fools on an insane mission (as that’s exactly what we were) but eventually, after much complaining, we made it to sight 50 and we’ve got the photographs to prove it!
