We left Luxembourg for Paris early this morning. We wanted to have plenty of time to visit the Louvre and we did! It was an easy ride and we got to the hotel before check in so locked all the luggage in a holding room and took off. We said goodbye to our driver Arturo today. He's been an interesting character but it has been convenient to have around. Now we rely on the Metro to get from place to place. It's a trick with 45 people and one of the busiest metro systems in the world. The kids took to it like champs.
We headed straight to the Louvre and turned the kids loose. They were pretty overwhelmed but saw most of the 'important' stuff. It really is impossible to see even a portion in the limited amount of time we had.
Next was dinner at Flams. Flammenkrucken is a pizza type thing. Very thin and crispy crust, a creamy almost alfredo type sauce and then toppings. They even had a great, fresh salad which we don't usually see much of, but today it was a bit too fresh. Henry found a little green worm living in his lettuce. He was a manly man and didn't loose it at the table but no one else ate much salad after that.
Eiffel Tower was the destination after dinner. We were lucky to score one of the limited reservations and went right on up. The enormous line for the lift to the top was also non existent so we were at the top level in less than 20 minutes. I'd planned for the typical hour so the kids got lots of extra time to enjoy their visit.
