Paris Explored

Day 3

GOOD MORNING FRANCE 🇫🇷

Welcome to Paris France. After a long and exhausting day spent travelling the highways, byways and subways of Paris yesterday, we have woken to a dark and overcast morning in Paris. But not to be perturbed 😖 we are connecting with our tour group at 9:30am this morning for another tour of Paris, this time on a bus 🚌 with our guide, who I am sure will be full of wonderful information. Before that it will be getting all the troops organised and engaging we are fed and watered before hitting the streets. More to follow after the event.

Well this morning was a good breakfast, after which we met our tour guide Dimitri and Robert our driver. He started off by telling us the colours of our groups and who was who… he stuffed that up, but we sorted it out. Anyway we then got onto the buses 🚌 and headed off on our tour of Paris. We had already been to some of the location the previous day but it was great to get the history of the city 🏙️ and to be told about the buildings and architecture. The first stop was at the Eiffel Tower. Here we sussed out the public toilets…. That was interesting 🤔 then had a look around… mum and Vicki started buying trinkets. From here it was off to the Arch Du Triumph and the mad streets in that area. From here to the centre of the city to where the Louvre is situated…. Or just near there anyway. We checked out the large shopping centre and had lunch in an Asian restaurant. All enjoying our meals gif once! This vantage point had great views over the city. Once we had finished we heard. Up to the roof which even though extremely wet gave even better views! Back down to wander the streets but far to wet! So after going around the block and making it to the Lindt Chocolate store where Vic bought chocolates! All being a bit wet we then found the bus that took us to visit the Montmatre where there is a magnificent church on the hill. From this point you could see back over Paris from a great height… to bad it was overcast and raining. We took the Funicular up the hill. Magnificent church. This was worth the steep climb up the great number of steps! Mum m, Rell and I did it but Vic chickened out! A lovely cuppa to complete our time up here, served by a very cheery waiter! After this back to the v
Bus to head to our hotel 🏨…. Unreal the traffic and it was nearly 6:30pm before we got back and everyone tied and ready for bed. Rell and I headed to the small supermarket and grabbed a chicken and potato dish for dinner and then off to bed ready for tomorrow.

See you on the other side
