The morning started very early. We were to leave the hotel at 5:30am with a wake-up call at 4:45am, however, a couple of the rooms did not get a wake up call and therefore were awoken by pounding on thier door at 5:25am. But the kids were champs once again and made it out the door and on the bus in only 10 minutes! After an hour drive, we arrived at the train station in Basel to take the TGV (high speed train) to Paris. In a morning full of challenges, we had to load all of us and our luggage on the train in seven minutes! Of course, with our phenomenal group, we made it and took our 3 1/2 hour train ride.
We arrived in Paris and took a bus tour of the city which took us to the major sites including a great view of the Eiffel Tower (where some had their first crepe). The tour ended at the hotel where the kids now have a couple of hours to rest before dinner.
Dinner was duck - a different experience for many of the travelers. Most found it tasty but again found dessert to be the best part of the meal. We then made our way to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The views were spectacular. We hit it at just the right time and got to watch the sunset from there. Then the lights came on and the tower looked even better!
Je me suis jealous, mais tellement content de savoir combien des bonnes temps vous aurez a Paris. Dite Guillaume qu'il faut ecrire ses parents plus qu'une fois! Mme. Adams
