An uneventful journey. Smooth transfer at Doha, due to our slightly late arrival and their need to clear airspace for a military airshow llater in the day, we were off on plane, on a bus, through the terminal, on another bus and on the next plane without stopping. ! My, that is one big airport. Arrived at CDG to be met by a welcome sign and friendly and rather good looking driver. Another lovely Frenchman then met us and introduced us to our apartment. The 90 Sq m apartment is located in the sixth floor of a beautiful building, a mixture of offices and apartments. Quaint French style throughout with the style of the past and the modern features of WIFI.
A quick walk down the street put us straight in to a Parisien dream : cheese, fruit, wine, bakeries. Even the sounds of school children being dismissed from school, then wandering in to the patisserie for their pain au chocolat. Memories of my days working at the French Bakehouse in Heidelberg, when we spotted Buche de Noel in the windows. Thinking that Christmas will add another flavor to the scenery here.
Short message tonight ...off to dream land in a horizontal position. More later after much needed sleep.
