A quiet last day in Paris

With Graeme off running around Disneyland and Disney Studios, the Sheards and I have had a lovely peaceful museum-free day walking in Paris. We did "Hip Paris" from Les Halles to the Marais, and some of "Undiscovered Paris" near Gare du Lyon. Everywhere are wonderful buildings and small parks to relax in. At lunchtime we found ourselves in Rue des Rosiers, heart of the Jewish district, where we had a great falafel in pita bread - apart from the falafel, hummus, tahini they added red cabbage and eggplant; it was so yummy.

Judy got us around in the best way on the metro, and also provided the commentary from her Michelin guide. The Metro is fantastic - it looks to us as though the average time between trains on all lines is around 3 minutes. What a pity it can't be like that in Melbourne.

We are about to go out for our usual 3 course fixed price dinner - also delicious food with lots of choices. After dinner we'll hop on the metro to visit the 59 story Mont Parnasse tower, for a final night-time view of Paris. Home tomorrow!!
