Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from Minky!

I'm going on a very big adventure in a weeks time so I will keep you updated!

J'taime Paris!

I went to Paris for a weekend in October.  I LOVED Paris! I have never visited a city and instantly fell in love with it.  The women are chic and the men are good looking, the arcitecture is stunning and art amazing.  I got to the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame and the Sacre Cour (my favourite).

Me at the Eifel Tower, too high even for a monkey to climb!

The Louvre where I saw lots of amazing paintings. They had some Michelangelo sculptures too, which I loved.

 

I wanted to run down the main hall like in A Bande Apart.

Notre Dame.  No hunchback or singing gargoles.

 Outside the Louvre.

Finally Serge Gainsbourg's house.  He was a true artist.  Sad that he is gone and obviously missed by people, just look at all the graffiti.  They should turn his house into a museum so he can be remembered properly.

J'taime Paris, j'taime.

Cyprus

Wow its been a while and its now 2011! Time flies when a monkey is having fun!

The last place I traveled to was Cyprus. I didnt like it very much really, it was very touristy and so seemed quite spoilt because of that.  I did monkey on up to the north though and that was the complete opposite!  Stunning coastline which I drove along, really beautiful.

I made a few friends in Cyprus.  It was lovely to talk to the locals although a lot of them found it difficult to understand my accent.  I guess they dont speak monkey very much.
