We arrived in Paris sleepless and desperate for a shower that didn’t smell like eggs. Our AirBNB wasn’t available for a few hours, so we found a place to park our bags at a cafe a few blocks away. After several days of averaging around $75 a piece for a meal in Reykjavik, we ate like kings and splurged on a $22 five course brunch. After a nap and a shower, we regained the composure of normal humans and spent the evening meandering from Marais to the Eiffel Tower.

We spent the next few days in a similar fashion — walking too much and eating too much in between museum visits and trying to make it to as many of the shops on our bookmarks list as possible.
