Super Saturday!

Today was a half day.

I had some stuff to do. Like booking my trip to Liverpool on Tuesday. I have booked on the Eurostar and will be going through the Chunnel! Once I arrive in London I have to change train stations, then carry on up to Liverpool. Once that was done, and I had checked directions to the Paris Gare du Nord Train Station, and the map between London Train Stations, I headed out.

My plan for the day was to book a tour to Versailles and go on the full Red Car Tour.

The bus leaves on Sunday at 1:30pm for Versailles. I am looking forward to it.

I also stopped at The Louvre, I wanted to get this video...

I wanted to show how freakin' big this place is. It is the biggest museum in the world. Heck, it has a road that goes through it!

Next, the Red Car. The full tour is just over 2 hours. I marked on my map some places that I would like to get some photos of, and some others I would like to see on foot. So tomorrow I will go again and get these photos, and maybe see some of these places.

I also managed to fit in a decent meal. These have been hard to find. This one was good though. I popped into a Cafe near the Louvre as I could see that they had a Veggie Burger on the menu. It was an open faced burger, the pattie was a potato pancake and it had sauteed onions, mushrooms and tomatoes on it. It was good. The fries sucked. I have not had a good fry here yet. They are all frozen-out-of-a-box and the oil they are fried in is not hot enough so they are greasy and soggy. Huh, well, I don't need fries anyway...

As I was leaving the restaraunt I found one of these bike rental stations outside. They are all over the city, you just borrow a bike from one and return it to any other station when you are done. Pretty cool!

I also did a wee bit of shopping. For me. I am not bringing back souveniers. I have something small for each of the kids, and am sending postcards, but I am not buying touristy junk. I like to add to my collection of fridge magnets when I go somewhere, but I also wanted something else...

Hello Silver Bracelet!

Now I am heading to bed to watch the news. BBC World News. The only English channel I can get. Currently they are talking about Cricket. I thought Cricket was an insect...
