France 2010 - Happy New Year!


Woke up around 9ish again. I went down for breakfast while Tracy showered. We went out to go to a movie, I had all of the info this time. The Metro system was free everywhere. When we got off the Metro, we could not find the movie house. We ran into a cinema down in the Metro area. It was closed and the movie we wanted was not showing. Therefore, we decided to go on the Green Hop-on Hop-off tour bus. This time we were going on the Orange line. We got off the metro and looked for the pickup locations but could not find them. Ended up walking near Norte Dame. We found it at the location were all of the tour buses drop off visitors for the Norte Dame cathedral. We waited 20 minutes and decided to go to a café next door. By the time we took off our coats and sat down, I saw the tour bus. Nevertheless, we wanted to stay and have a snack. I had a mulled wine and a croissant while Tracy had tea and a croissant. We went back to the stop and waited about 10 minutes then a bus arrived. We were able to sit inside this time. The tour was over in about an hour. We walked over to the Norte Dame to see if we could get in but the line was too long again, should have gone in the first we came here. We walked up the street and went into a small café. We found seats toward the back, a nice cozy area. I ordered quiche and a salad, and of course a beer. Tracy ordered the onion soup. The same order we had a week ago at the café in the Trocadero area. We left and check out I few souvenir shops. I bought a set of coaster. It was cold and Tracy wanted to head back so we found the nearest Metro and went back to the hotel. I got caught up on my journals and Tracy read a magazine. Tracy was not felling to well so we called it a night.
