Paris Day 3 – Final Full day

Revenge can be so sweet….this morning the wake-up call came in for all our group (they are leaving to return to London) and we just turned over and slept for another hour. I should tell you that we slept for 10 hours…we were just  a tad tired.

Today we are doing what Lucille wants most-to go to Galeries Lafayette and walk down the Champs Elysees. Here, today, we will enjoy a nice lunch, come back to the hotel, unpack and repack everything we have, Everyone can attest who travelled with us for 23 days, it was quite the adventure!

OMG! We got Lucille into the Galeries Lafayette and couldn’t get her out…just kidding, but we spent the WHOLE day there. Please, we have no more room…no more energy…..no more money…..Ahh! good holiday.

Paris – Day 2 – Last Day

This morning we are up early again to go to the Eiffel Tower and be the first to go up. Thanks to Bob and the Insight group for this coup. You would not believe the mile long line up at 8:30 a.m. to buy tickets and we got to go right through. We went as high as the 2nd level. This is high enough and you get a great view.

Now we leave  there for the Louvre. We have been here before but it was good to go again. We had a light lunch (thank goodness) then we boarded the bus again and went to the Notre Dame Basilica (beautiful).

Having listened to a very knowledgeable guide, Nicolas, we then walked through the Latin Quarter. This is known as the student section of Paris.

Okay, my hip has now said ENOUGH. I barely made it back to the spot where we got on our bus. Now it is getting sad. We leave the group and have to say goodbye to our new friends, our guide, Bob and driver, Franco.

To make up for it, we go on the hunt for detergent to do some laundry and find a Bistro for a glass of wine. That now done, back to our hotel to do some laundry and get ready for dinner – just the 3 of us. Paris is now ours…..
