The Paris Opera

The Paris Opera! we were unable to get into the main area of this wonderful building as a reshearsal was taking place, but the link above shows a lot more...

since Mom and i went to see the Phantom of the Opera, originally here... we were also looking forward to gong beneath on a tour of the cellars and the lakes that lay there, but no tour on the day we went and the man seemed to think not the next day either! so a return trip for this it seems...

a 'small' library, would have like to spend some time in here going over all the books...

above is still apart of the main entrance hall... Mom and i were imagining walking down, or up, that wonderful main staircase dressed in a wonderful gown....

we didn't quite make it back for a second visit, just to see if the cellars were open....


and where we did leave the other days blog? arh yes Mom and i headed south on the bus! well as the bus left late we knew we would at least have less time at Luton airport for the Hemel bus, but we missed it! it was the bus to Benidorm from Malaga scenario all over again!!!

a bus came at the right time and i went to see, but the man mumbled something "and heathrow only..." so, we missed it! we got the next one, different number, different destination... but he went to Hemel and that was all we wanted! although then we had the bus to Northchurch, which it seems was full of the people who had been on it for ages, and so far had taken an hour and half from Watford! ...

and back to Mom's...
