Slobbing in Paris

Sunday. We got up quite late after much needed sleep. All this walking and fresh air is doing us in! We packed up our stuff and just relaxed in the flat for a while. It was nice to have a bit of a lazy day, esp. for me as I'd been there two days longer than Scooter.

The four of us wandered up to the Marais for late lunch at Pizza San Antonio. We had a bit of a wander around the area after that, not forgetting to visit a patisserie and pick up some vennoise chocolat to take home with us. Well, we needed some sort of souvenir and its better than a mini Effiel Tower!

Walked back to the flat, chatted for a bit, then said our goodbyes and headed off to Gare Du Nord to catch the 2042 train home. Well, it was meant to leave at that time, but due to problems on the track along the line we left almost an hour late. To make matters worse, we only got one bread roll with dinner and one bottle of wine. Honestly, standards are slipping!

Rolled into Waterloo not long before midnight. We were unsure if we'd make the last tube, so we treated ourselves to a cab home.

Scooter and I both decided that we'd love to go back there again in the near future. Andrew has an annual Disney pass that expires in April 2008. Although he's moving back to the UK in June/July, I'm sure we can convince him to use the pass at least one more time before it runs out! There's a new Buzz Lightyear attraction opening in Disney next month, so we have to see that, and of course, I have to make up for the forgotten Indianan Jones ride on Thursday.

All in all, a lovely trip which left us wanting to return again soon.
