Métro & Trains: We may have just been unlucky,...
  • Tip Rating:
  • We may have just been unlucky, but when we first entered the metro we were holding a map ( and looking like obvious tourists).A french man approached us and
    was quite forceful in trying to get us to part with our money so he could supposedly buy us out metro tickets.He was asking for about 400 francs each from us and we said no thanks and walked off and he shouted and jumped over a barrier and started to chase us. Quite scary. Apart from that we didnt experience any other problems.

     Sharon, happy birthday. Love your pages, especially Vegas and of course Paris. I know how it feels to be down on one knee over there ;-)

     Paris is on my "must visit" list. I asked my traveling friend if we could just hop over to Paris for a day while in London, but she said it deserves more time than that. Next time ... I'll save your tips.

     Thanks for the tips in the restaurant, there's nothing worse than getting egg on your face when it comes to ordering pizza..! :-)
