Paris Day 2

Hi Lovelies, Today was our final day to see things in Paris, and we certainly made a fine effort to pack as much in as we could. After breakfast we headed for the Arc De Triomphe to catch the bus. Today we were off to find Montmartre, and and the artist square. We were unable to find any reference to the square, but not to be deterred we headed in the direction of Basilique Du Sacre-Coeur Chapel. This was amazing, as were the steps to reach it. Being kind to ourselves we caught the cable car up. Sacre-Coeur Chapel Back to the amazingness of the chapel. We were blessed to arrive in the midst of a choral and prayer service. The music was so peaceful, and sounded just like you would here in a medieval movie.                                 The architecture of the church was also amazing, and it is huge, with ceilings that reach for the sky. We also ventured down into the cry...

Paris by day and night

Hi lovelies, Another couple of full days. We had our last day in Edinburgh on Monday, and we wandered a bit more and tried to see more wonders.     Has a lucky nose !! You have to hear the story of Blackfriars Bobby (dog)  We visited the Scottish National Museum, and the building was amazing. It was purpose built to house the exhibitions. We had a wonderful time. This animal has been bred back into existence via Zebras It was then back to the motel to do the washing and get packed so we could fly out the next day. Tuesday was an interesting day. We were collected promptly from our motel at 10am, and did not arrive at our motel in Paris until after 8pm. Not bad for a 1 1/2 hour flight. 🥺 . We were very tired teddies when we arrived. Our motel is beautiful, and if we look out the front door we can see the Eiffel Tower. There are a number of cafes nearby and we have sampled the fare at a couple of them. Last night...
