Day 21: To Paris…
After battling the elevators at
the Royal Cattle Yard, we decided to skip breakfast at the Royal Feeding Trough
and instead head to St Pancras, a short walk from our hotel. On the walk we
bought about 20 banana for £1 – beat that aussies! Finding the
station and getting the train was all straight forward. The train trip was over
in no time. It seems strange going from one country to another by train. No
real passport formalities, just a stamp as we left UK, nothing when we entered
France. After a longish walk to our hotel we set out on foot to get our
bearings. The hotel is just down the road from the Opera House. We walked down
to the river, then around to the Eiffel Tower. From there we jumped on the open
top bus and toured a while before returning to the Opera area for a lovely
dinner. The restaurant staff even sang happy birthday to me – in French of
course.
Great city. Loving Paris so far!

Hi neighbours! Your photos are beautiful. I feel like I am doing the 'Internet Tour de Jour!' All is well back home, and everything is plodding along just fine. Have given Dommie a couple of cuddles so far. Haven't seen Cara more than 2 or 3 times. Got your postcard today. Thank you for that. Looking forward to seeing you when you get back. Stay safe and enjoy this beautiful time together. Jayne
