Sorry for the delay but my luggage arrived Sunday night at 8:00. The same clothes for 4, that is four days. Lyn is a dear friend to share her deordorant (probably in her best interest) and put up with my hanging underware for this long.
Saturday we got off to a slow start as we were a little jet lagged and took our time hoping my bags would show up. No luck so off we go to see what is outside our door.
My goodness it is wonderful! Can't really comprehend that we are here and we can do what we want. We started to wander and took a bus to Ile de la Cite and took a look at Notre Dame. The crowds were huge and that is in the off season. We will come back to see it on a rainy day. The weather is so wonderful. It is warm and sunny and we should have brought our suntan lotion.
Next we take a walk along the river bank (just like in the movies, ask us about the spys!) and at the end of the island there was a river cruise that was just about to leave so we had to do that and spent the next hour traveling past the major site like the Eiffle tower and museums and palaces and to many things to remember.
Travel Tip:
Take a river cruise it is a great way to see Paris & have your first sight of the Eiffel Tower. It also gives your feet a rest.
Boat cruise there are several tours that leave from Ile de la Cite.
