Outside of Paris theyâre the finest people youâd meet. Parisiens on the other handâŚ.

Yeah same for most capitals Iâd say
Je parle francais, je nâai pas un chemise de GAA et je crois quâil nây a pas les chipshops en France. En Belgique ouiâŚ
Be hot in those hills Iâd say?
Yeah it was about 34/35 every day.

Iâve actually been very pleasantly surprised theyâve gone out of their way to be helpful. I wasnât expecting much from my trips to Paris where theyâd spit in your face.
My missus got an A in French, which is more a damning indictment of the Irish education system than it is a compliment to her French, but she has the basics and she can read it fairly okay, so we arenât a complete nuisance to them. Once you give it a go, they are happy enough to work with you with their bit of English. Iâm completely useless unfortunately.
Its Dublin prices for everything though and the groceries are insane, even in the proper supermarkets. But weâd another top class meal tonight, so swings and roundabouts

Apart from Paris which is gone too multicultural, France is a proper country. I love the south east, down around Grenoble and around the Alps. Serious Grubbing

In other words youâre saying there are too many non whites in Paris?

Weâve been in Holland since Tuesday, based in the beautiful city of Haarlem just outside Amsterdam, absolutely brilliant, easy to reach the North sea beaches on a bicycle, wonderful national park area all around,
The city of Haarlem itself is a real gem, huge food festival there this weekend, absolutely no need for a car, Bikes came with the AirBnB and you wouldnât need any more,
Obviously weâve been into Amsterdam a bit as well and done sone of the touristy things but weâre winging it in Haarlem, lovely beer and great food.
Heading up to the Duinrel theme and water park on Monday for camping and adventures, highly recommend 
Temperatures between 23 and 28 every day, absolutely perfect

Jesus Iâd love to live here, you really wouldnât need to bother learning the language, the Dutch are sound cunts as well, and they love Denis Irwin of course 
They make living easy. Very practical like the Gerries but bit more craic about them
The Dutch are very evenly split between sound and utter cunts.

Willie Wortelâs is a serious spot
How is the activevtravel infrastructure
Have to say a lovely touch from Shannon airport last weekend was when your man checking the passport welcomes you back to Ireland.
Welcome back @The_Most_Infamous
Great stuff 
To say that it is absolutely outstanding would be a massive understatement, I would allow my 8 year old to cross the city on a bicycle alone if she knew the way, itâs awesome
