Well, looks like we are back on-line. Will have to go back and update previous days. Max and I caught the Metro into Paris today. Finally found how to go under the road to get across to the Arche de Triomphe. Took some happy snaps and then headed down the Champs Élysées - a bit of shopping at Louis Vuitton maybe (ha, in my dreams).
Had a very expensive toilet stop. Needed a loo so we stopped at a cafe. Of course, being on the Champs Élysées, it was going to be an expensive exercise. Had champagne and crepes then the waiter brought over a tray of delicious cakes to choose from. Ended up getting a piece of this chocolate coated, chocolate mousse on a bottom layer of light and fluffy chocolate cake. It was absolutely mouth wateringly delicious. Another 2 champagnes (oh, and use of the toilet) later and the bill 100 Euro. Oh well, not every day we are in Paris.
The boys chose to stay at the hotel. Not to keen on hitting the Metro - because of the shady characters around and the warnings to be aware of pick pockets.
Tomorrow we will take the boys on the Metro to the Military Museum which is just a bit further along from the Eiffel Tower. And on Saturday, Max and I are going to Versailles for a couple of hours.
Glad to be back at hotel and might get some reading and relaxing in before heading out for dinner.
