Today we enjoyed our last full day in Paris as tomorrow it's time to head east toward Germany. We spent about half the day up the Eiffel Tower, soaking in the misty views of Paris and enjoying a sensational lunch with a view you'd struggle to get anywhere else in the world. Superb food, rich in flavours and perfectly portioned...just couldn't quite get used to such fine food being served in Pyrex microwave dishes!
The views from the Eiffel Tower speak for themselves so I'll let you check them out below. Georgia, Darcee and I spent the rest of the day trekking around what have become very familiar streets, taking photos, buying 'fair dinkum' French macarons and goofing around in souvenir shops!
After taking a sightseeing bus around Paris last week, none of us have been able to get the song 'Aux Champs Elysses' out of heads...we think it's only fair to share it with you so that you are all afflicted with the same condition...you can hear it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAMuNfs89yE Be warned, it's rather catchy and will have you tapping your foot and singing along before you know it!
Today was lots of fun and topped off with a 'clean out the fridge' kind of dinner - brie on baguette!
Tomorrow morning we pick up a car and head for Brumath, a small village outside of Strasbourg where the adventure will continue.
Blessings to you all!

Beware of the photo bomber a.k.a. Darcee!

Finally got some photos of the Lutheran Church we've been hanging out at!

Hi Akenators, fantastic that you are having such a great and interesting trip. To some extent you make your own luck as to how you enjoy these things, self driving is a really great idea for example and has to add to what you see but not one I would be game to try at this stage of my life. In general terms you simply can't get the import of a place until you visit it.
ReplyDeleteHad an inch or rain last night now back to the cricket, I have been asked by the Almanac to write a contribution covering Saturday's play. Always to be nice and wanted!
Cheers,
