Bernd stopped by from Germany to meet up with me and Philip in Paris... that's him buying his train ticket...

Paris has these awesome high-speed transport belts that moves people at 9km/h, for those who just can't wait... for mere mortals they also designed ones that moves people at a "tres comfortable" 3km/h...

What millions of people come to Paris to see every year - this year a book called the Da Vinci code was released, which prompted more people to come to the Louvre to check the real thing out...
No flash photography allowed, and they even have a dedicated security guard next to the painting to make sure people were following museum rules!

The painting actually was a lot smaller than I expected...
