we got off again at the Louvre, we had trouble finding the entrance to it, and eventually asked a couple who were walking about and they said they were told to head for the pyramid! so we did, and there we found the Louvre was shut for the day!!!
we felt sorry for anyone who was only there for the day, like the Irish couple... all that way and not be able to get in!
back onto the bus... and off again at the Paris Opera Garnier, we thought it was also called the Bastille, which was misleading, but we were in the Opera house we had wanted to be in, where the phantom of the opera and cellars are... we didn't make it into the cellars they weren't open and the man seemed to think they wouldn't be the next day either, bit strange?
we had a coffee and an apple juice *bottled* which cost 10euros, so i think we were well conned there! right opposite the Paris Opera!
back on the bus! off back at the Eiffel Tower, back on the boat and down to our stop! just a walk back up the road, we went back to the hotel for a short while, no coffee making facilities there! and then went out again for dinner... where we had eaten the day before....
sorry this is a bit short! but when i get the photos up i will add where's and what's with them...
Mom and i have been into town this morning, we walked down along the high street and back along the tow path, joined all the fishermen who were exceedingly grumpy, with their rods that reached almost over to the other side of the canal, and pulled them in so you couldn't pass! apparently they are from London and if you want to fish along there and live local.... you cant!?!
adios amigos... i must dish up lunch!
TTFN
