We rolled in to Paris yesterday evening via the Eurostar train through the Chunnel from England. Woke up early and headed out to Versailles this morning. Quite a castle and gardens the three Louis kings built out there! We also explored Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle, and the Conciergerie before heading to the Eiffel Tower to eat dinner on the grounds around it. Long day but nothing beats eating a nice picnic dinner with the wife in front of the Eiffel Tower!
We explored a lot of London today! Followed one of the Rick Steves audio tours through the City of London and saw some of the main sites like St. Paul’s, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Then we headed over to see the famous sites like Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the London Eye. Great day with awesome weather and no rain! Just a lot of walking and some sore feet.
Saw an original Apple II at the British Science Museum today. Very cool!
We are at the airport and about to board our red eye flight to London Gatwick. It is funny to see the British flight attendants dressed up in their bright red “skirt suits.” Can’t imagine American flight attendants wearing that!
The countdown is down to 4 days! Mich and I fly out of Orlando on Monday to start our 5 week trek across Europe. Can’t. Freaking. Wait.
