Paris - Wednesday 5 July and Thursday 6 July

On Wednesday I worked from the hotel. The conference started with a dinner at a restaurant close to the hotel. Nice to connect with my London colleagues.

Thursday was a full day of conference. In the evening, buses picked us up and took us to the river for a dinner cruise on the Seine. It was a lovely night. 



I met a partner from our Dubai office who will be moving to Brisbane next year...


It was light as we headed up the river, past the Eiffel Tower...




Palais Bourbon...


And night fell as we made our way back...



The clearance under some of those tunnels was pretty tight...


The boat docked before midnight and there were coaches back to the hotel at 12am, 1am and 2am. 


I was about to take the 2am when one of the partners suggested we go and find a bar. It's Paris...when are we going to be back here...:-)

We asked the locals where to go and although most bars close at 2am, she recommended one called O'Sullivans. So we caught an Uber to Montmartre. It turned out to be a really cool local bar with great music and a young local crowd. It was two story so we went upstairs and hung out for a while. 


Got back to the hotel about 4am. Great night!

Melbourne - June 2024

Had to go to Melbourne for work. Flew on the Monday morning and straight to the office. After work I checked in to Voco and crossed Lonsdale...
