1. I got free WiFi for 15 minutes when I first got there so I could update my family and friends on my travels
2. It doesn't cost anything to use the airport toilets.
3. There was a red piano to play
4. All the staff were VERY friendly and helpful
5. I got to eat a real fresh chocolate croissant and drink coffee
6. As I was boarding my flight to Belfast I heard the Irish accent which finally made me excited as I thought about my Northern Irish friends
7. The above cafe had free unlimited WiFi so I got to see everyone's comments on my 6 hours in Paris facebook post.
8. I found out that on my flight to Belfast I would have a window seat, my first window seat of the journey, and it means I can see Northern Ireland from the air!

Just so you all know, I did visit Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower - just the outside, I didn't go up it, I walked around A LOT! I wanted to hire a bike, but my bank cards didn't work, so I took a train into and out of the city and walked a lot. I wanted to go to a cafe for lunch, but in the end I wasn't hungry and I just ate back at the airport, a fresh chocolate croissant and coffee were the only things I ate in all of Paris. Unfortunately I didn't buy a souvenir :( because I kept thinking I would find a cheaper option, but in the end I ran out of time. It was a bit lonely with no one to share it with, and no one to help me find my way around (which was fine, I had a great map, but things were further away than I thought) So overall, I am glad to say that I've seen the Eiffel Tower, but it would have been better with a travelling friend.

That photo is sooooo cool! I love it! Wow. You can put it on the cover of your next book. Or CD. :) I think it's amazing that you DID see things in Paris with only your two feet for walking and 6 hours to spare (right?). Love you and can't wait to see and hear more about your travels!
p.s. Ela Lou says Hi Auntie Maria!
Fun Fun Fun.
Great photo.

Loved your singing and playing, couldn't tell all of what you said but it was great to see a video of you. I loved seeing the few photos Grace and Anna put up with you in them at camp. Looking forward to seeing more photos and so happy for you that you got to go to senior camp:) Would love to be included in an update you send home:)
Hi Char, I think I will leave the book writing to you, maybe on the cover of my next CD :) Maybe we should bring cup of mango tea back :) I technically had 10 hours, but 4 of them were spent in the airport, so 6 hours in the city. Hi Ella Lou!
Jono, I am glad you like my photo, and that you've show things to UR, it took me a minute to figure out what UR was :) I hope he enjoyed them as well
Hi Hollie, the lyrics of the video are in the description on youtube, because I realised you couldn't hear it all. Grace and Anna are sooo lovely! The first day at Senior Camp whenever I would tell anyone I was from Australia they would ask "So do you know Hollie?" So that was quite fun :) Senior Camp was really really lovely! I am so glad that I got to go as well, it was such a blessing
