On the move again

Today we caught the train from Lyon to Paris. This one was a lot bigger than the train from Barcelona to Lyon as it was a double deck and it was full but it was just as fast. Am a big fan of bullet trains. These ones are super smooth and quiet, if they didn’t put the speed up on the screen you would have no idea you were going so fast. The trip took just under 2 hours versus 5 hours to drive.

We arrived in Paris and scored a cab to our hotel. We are in a trendy part of town quite close to everything. We walked down to the Seine River passing a few buildings and monuments along the way.

We took a few photos and headed along the Champs Elysees before walking back to the hotel.

Our hotel room is what you would call microscopic and the lift is the smallest of the small we have come across so far BUT we have a room with a balcony so we scored a lump of cheese, some crackers and a bottle of Sancerre. We then had a nice break sitting on the balcony drinking wine and eating cheese in the afternoon sun.Read more
