Paris day 3 and 4



Sunday 26th May
We depart from our lodgings and head to our new digs across Paris via Uber. A 30 min ride and we are there. We wait while the owner of the unit comes to greet us. When he sees how much luggage we have, he immediately starts to apologise for the size of the unit.  Hmmmm, ok. Then we get inside,  we thought our room before was small, this one is not much bigger. Hughes takes us though all of the  do's and don'ts and how to work the tv, the microwave, ( which is on floor level ) the washing machine, which I am glad he did,  cause it is very different to any I have used before.  After he leaves us, we contemplate whether it will be ok. We can make our work,  we really only need somewhere to sleep,  even if it is on the fold out lounge. We managed to caravan for a week, surely we can manage this. So we take a short rest, the go and explore what is about. At the top of the street,  there is a market happening,  and we get some fruit and veggies,  and a couple of peices of steak for tea. We  notice there is patisserie just across the road from us,  and a Resturant, the  metro is on the corner, we have all that we need.  Day is done.

Monday 27th May.
Today we plan to tour around Paris on the Top on Hop off buses. There are two routes, so of we set with our 6 day train passes. Go to use it and it doesn't work. Thankfully,  Bob hasn't cond through yet,  so we go to the ticket window, and how like crazy that the person behind the window can understand a little English. He does,  and my ticket is re issued. So we plot out our required train trip, and head to where we need to be. We catch the red tour  first, and go around viewing the wonderful buildings and listen to the commentary. This is a 2 hr tour. There is only one place where the two routes connect, so we get off at that spot after doing a complete loop. Then we have a spot of lunch and get onboard the blue tour. The blue tour is a 1 hr tour. These hop on hop off bus tours are a great way to see what ever city you are in.
We make our way back to our unit, stopping via a little confidence store to get some food essentials.
