I am going to be on my own because my other half is at a fencing competition all day...I am banned because apparently I am too distracting! I said that I really want to go up the Eiffel tower and he is refusing...'just a tourist trap, waste of money etc...' not a great romantic! I like spending time by myself in strange places. I was in Rio last year for 3 days by myself. its a bit odd in the evenings but the rest of the time I like it.

I love the idea of wandering around flea markets and back streets and sampling chocolates. thanks for your suggestions everyone :-)
