The kids went to stay with Nanna, Grandad & Ally and Steve and I set off on the Eurostar. We had a lovely trip on the train for the first time in recent memory we didn't have anyone other than ourselves to entertain.
We were staying near to the Eiffel Tower in the Hilton - it was a nice hotel although the selection in the mini bar was a little, well, French! - See if you can make out the condoms in the bottom left-hand corner. Only in France!!On Saturday we visited the Notre-Dame cathedral and then took a stroll along the banks of the River. In the evening we had a dinner cruise which was very nice - lovely food & fine wine.
On Sunday we went up the Eiffel Tower and Steve took some lovely photos whilst I hung about trying not to look down!
Then we went to Le Louvre. It is just such an immense building we never got close to seeing even a third of it but we saw the pieces we wanted to. Like old Mona - although we failed to find any Monet.
Then it was a nice French lunch before our return journey home. The kids were very pleased to see us and I think the adults were glad to have us home too.
