Paris

Our last day in Paris was a wet one.  Cannot complain as it is winter and we had all the other days dry.  We ventured out via the Metro to Sacre Couer and fairly soon realized that it may have not been the best idea.  Sacre Couer is on a hill and as such fairly exposed to the elements, the wind and the rain.   Negotiating the many stairs, the puddles and the rain made for a less then pleasant ascent.  The magnificent views we may have expected on other days stayed in our imaginations.   Cheap fold up umbrellas soon turning inside out and resembling some of the art we see in the Dali exhibition.   Nevertheless  it was another Parisen experience and I am sure the re-telling will make it quite exotic.  Sacre Couer was magnificent and the experience deepened by the sound of the ethereal voice of the nun speaking and singing.   I know many of you reading this will be familiar with these sites but we wondered how many of you know that the street vendors swap their merchandise from Eiffel towers to umbrellas on days like these !

After an escape into a cafe for brunch, we ventured back up the hill to find the Dali Museum -  quite different to the art in the Louvre !   Back via a patisserie and up to the apartment for afternoon tea/coffee with a taster of delectables.  Time to pack and organise for very early start tomorrow ...  Next stop Sicily.
