Evan wakes up and and checks the clock .....8.45am...so much for an early start. All those nights losing sleep at the beginning of our holiday are well and truly over!! For future reference we may need to start setting the alarm!!
We had an hour to pack and have our bags downstairs for check out....it was a little over that but we did ok...
Stored our bags at the Hotel and headed off to Montmarte...for some art !!
Katie bought three and I talked everyone into having Character drawings....everyone had fun laughing at each other...this guy was amazing...cant wait to have them framed and put on the wall...
Next we had something light to eat at a nice park with the Sacre-coeur behind us and the city in front.
We meandered through the streets and enjoyed the buildings and houses...we even saw the last vine yard in Montmarte. We found a cafe for something hot to drink
We weren't going to go to the Lourve as we wouldn't have time. So as a compromise we walked through the Touilles gardens and then to the outside of the great building. We were starting to run out of time as we needed to get back to the hotel , re pack and get walking to the train station for our train to Munich.
Evan was getting stressed out before we headed off the the Louvre and by the time we got to the Hotel Jason was getting stressed...he hadn't factored in the packing and Katie and I being slower walkers....Plus Katie's knee was playing up. By the time we got to the station she was in a lot of pain.....so Evan not only had his backpack on and his camera bag in front , he was also carrying my handbag and pulling Katie's suitcase....what a MAN!!!! we got her on the train and comfortable and told Jason he had to make it up to her by being her slave on the train!!!
It left 10 min late but we were off. We played uno and Monopoly on Katie's Ipad, to pass the time over snacks and drinks. Later we had dinner before some of us snoozing....Katie had the most sleep. Our train arrived into Munich 40 min late. It was definitely colder here than in Paris. BRRRRRR
We headed out of the train station to find the right Tram that would take us not to far from the hotel. How wrong we were. First off we did get right the tram ( twice) but they seemed to be going in different directions to what it normally should. Then we couldn't buy our tickets as nothing seemed to work on the tram....I was starting to think we where never going to get to the hotel.....it was cold and we were all tired....Jason loved the adventure.....Eventually we haled a cab and set off to the hotel with all our bags firmly in the boot.... Katie felt weird having the driver sitting on the opposite side of the car...another first for her .
10 min later we arrived at the hotel...checked in and up to our rooms....Shower and bed was the order of the night.....
Sweet dreams. Looking forward to seeing Terri and Greg (brother-in-law and sister-in-law) in the morning as the had a rrived in Munich this morning while we were enjoying our last few hours in Paris.
