Today is Michael’s Birthday
Today is the booking for the Hop On / Hop Off bus tours, with 4 routes on offer.
We head out and find a restaurant for a small breakfast of hot drink/orange juice & croissant, for 6.50Euros each. Then off to the bus stop for our first bus, which we alight from at the Notre Dame Cathedral. We queue for free entry and are quickly inside, where High Mass is being celebrated.
The building is stunning with its flying buttresses, limestone carvings and stained glass windows. It was commenced in the 9th century. We also paid to go into the “Treasury” area which has many bejewelled chalices, crosses, Benediction crosses etc acquired over many centuries. It was well worth the visit.
Then onto the bus around 12.15pm for the next of the bus routes, followed by another 2 only to be interrupted by a beer and wine. The buses are certainly a good way to see the main areas of Paris, as I would hate to be driving with the road system merging at an array of many angles plus streets.
We finish the 4 routes and choose a restaurant for a birthday dinner for Michael, just after 7.00pm…..again we are eating on our own. We have a very nice dinner with pleasant wines.
We pick up a few breakfast supplies for the morning from a little supermarket, and the head “home”, quite tired from the day.
Thanks Paul and David for Birthday wishes.
