@Zazz: I have done it before, I hide a postcard under a stack of books in a museum shop in London (when I hadn’t moved here yet) :) It got picked up the week after by a friend who visited London from the US. So yes, I am going to try and find a good place and will let you know! :)

@David: thanks for that link, very useful!

It’s a great city and St Pancras is inspirational even if the longest champagne bar in Europe looks lonely and cold.

If you are there on Sunday they close off whole areas to cars making for a pleasant afternoon and lunch by the canal St. Martin bear to Gare de Nord / Garde D’Est.

Ingrid, I don’t have a list of things-to-do-in-Paris yet. I was this vague longing that made me book the trip because I haven’t been to Paris for a while. I still have plenty of time to come up with a plan; trip is scheduled for April 16 – 18.

Yes, please, leave me a sign when you’re there, hopefully it will still be traceable in April. What a funny idea! (Do you think there is a place in Paris where you can leave something undetected for more than a fortnight?)

@Marieke – you are right, the facebook link does not work at all, you have to find me by name I guess.

And yes Paris is nicknamed the city of love, and I haven’t been there since secondary school either! I am not that drawn to it but seeing as it is so easy reachable from London and this concert taking place there, I thought I might as well give Paris a second chance :)

I haven’t seen much more of Paris than the obligatory day excursion in secondary school… I should definitely visit again for a long weekend or so.

(By the way – isn’t Paris nicknamed the City of Love?) ;-)

That Facebook link doesn’t seem to work.

@annerie: I’ll do my best for a very nice Paris phoku! :)

@grigorisgirl: I think that pic is of a fast moving Danish train and I don’t believe that they will come by train. I will be impressed if they do :) (their latest album sis very train themed though and they actually played a concert on a driving train in Denmark – pretty cool!)

@Olive: tripadvisor is so brilliant. Make sure to check out their “Best things to do” section for any place you intend to visit. The Paris one is here:
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187147-Activities-Paris_Ile_de_France.html

And I am quite sure I am going to do one of the recommended biking trips, sounds really great to me.

They are also great for hotel recommendations (from real people :) , I found my hotel in Beijing on that site, and found a lot of useful info when I did my Trans Mongolian train trip too.
