The Louvre

At the Eiffel Tower

Yesterday was a day at sea, but we got quite a bit accomplished ..... however, there was a bit of excitement. One of the passengers had to be evacuated via the Royal Air Force air rescue helicopter.

Believe it or not, we are getting a little tired of the ship's food. Is that blasphemy?


This morning, the ship docked at Le Havre, which is in Normandy. It is about 2 1/2 - 3 hours from Paris. We booked a trip into Paris, knowing that we would only have aobut 4 hours to spend there, deciding that it would be worth it. Boy, are we glad we did !!


Once again, the weather has been favorable ... cloudy, but no rain while we were outside. We took the hop-on-hop-off bus again so that we could see as much as possible. We ate lunch in a little sidewalk cafe and the waiter spoke English and was very friendly. The sights were sooooo awesome. Craig and I have decided that we would love to come back here again. We had been a little leery, based on the comments we have heard in the past about the arrogant Parisians, but didn't experience that at all !

We just got back to the ship. There probably won't be any more postings until we get home, as the ship docks tomorrow. Tomorrow night and the next night we will be staying at a hotel near the Heathrow Airport and then be flying home on July 9.
Thank you for following us on our grand adventure !!
See everyone soon.
Suzan, Craig, Vickie and Cathy
