Day 10 - Our final French city Paris PDF Print E-mail

Day 10 and the trip is almost over. Today we head to our final French city Paris, before we cross from Calais to Dover tomorrow. We begin the day with our rally tests for the day and then have to head off to Paris. We do well we think and leave for our long journey positive that we're doing Scotland and the team at B4BMW and A4Audi proud! Its another 5 hours in the car today to get to Paris. I do the driving today as Gordon drove yesterday. My navigational skills have improved but not enought to deal with Paris. That said, driving in Paris should be quite an experience too!

Despite Gordon navigating, we get lost! And more lost and more lost! Eventually Gordon's ingenious idea of taking a photo of a map outside a metro station gives us something to follow through the city. 5 hours there and 2 hours looking for the hotel - what fun!

We do a little wandering about at night to see some of the city but we need sleep and head to bed very early as the next day we return to the UK and the finale ball that we're looking forward to! We will find out then if we have a coveted top 10 position and how many of the experienced Jobbers we've managed to beat even though our stop watch is little better than counting 1 elephant, 2 elephant, 3 elephant...!
