Another day in Paris

Wednesday, June 10, 2015
Paris, Île-de-France, France
Caught the tube down to Rue de Rivoli as we wanted to check out something there near the Mairie. Decided to walk to our hotel following the Seine.

The room wasn't ready when we got there (before 12) so we timed the walk to Gare Austerlitz - for tomorrow's early departure . Walked around Le Jardin des Plantes before heading back to the hotel.

Our room was ready - OMG on the 4th floor and it's a spiral staircase. The room is a cupboard and the wifi doesn't work. We booked here because wifi was available - so after complaining, and being told it would be sorted, we headed off to explore once again.

Walked over the bridge, and then to the Eiffel Tower by metro. We didn't go up. Walked the Rive Gauche (left bank, facing the mouth) all the way back to Notre Dame - then a Metro for the last km to Gare Austerlitz. I was had it! Made it back across the bridge.

The hotel had sorted it! We moved down to the second floor - room twice the size and the wifi worked!
 
I don't know why I haven't got time to do the blog this year. Maybe it's because the photos go on Facebook and nobody reads the blog anyway. So I'm just publishing this - and not even correcting anything.

No mistakes in you blog entry, Anne. Probably no time to write a blog because you have been walking everywhere! At least you'll get fit. Look out Bowls Club next year, your endurance will win out.
