Today was our last full day in Paris and the end of our holiday in Germany and France. :-(
After yesterday's hot day, no-one was in a hurry to get out and about. Grandma made us all a lovely breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast (Grandad went out and got bread).
We caught a taxi to the Eiffel Tower with the plan of going on one of the sightseeing tours on the river Seine. It turned out we should have looked more closely at our map because it was walking distance to it and the Trocadero from our apartment. Actually the taxi driver dropped us off on the north side of the river so we were able to walk across the foot bridge just to the east of the main bridge which gave us very nice views of the Eiffel Tower.
Our boat tour was to leave at 2pm so we had a little time for a snack and a drink.
On the tour we saw lots of great buildings and bridges. The tour lasted for an hour. Daddy took a million photos. The tour guide told us that we would go under 26 bridges so I decided to count all them.
After the tour, we walked towards the Trocadéro where we found a nice restaurant for a very late lunch. It was fun watching all the people walking by with a good view of the Trocadero. We then walked back to apartment and the airconditioning.
Since it was our last day, the grownups started packing. I watched TV. Daddy found the Nickelodean channel which was really good even though all the shows were French or were US programs with French dubbing.
About 8pm we headed out again for dinner and ate at a restaurant just a 5 minute walk away. Very nice. After that, it was home, bath and bed for me.
Tomorrow we're going to the airport to fly home. I'll really miss my Grandma and Grandad, but the really good news is that I'll be seeing Mummy again tonight - hooray!
