Jake lets us sleep in. He's an early bird and reads his Hunter S Thompson (actually a reread, his 'vacation' paperback). Lazily we make our way to the river, the Marais and the crazily popular L'as du falafel. It is good - eggplant etc and fork eatable. Cali and I bought some nail/hand cream/buffer. Place des Voges and a brief rain shower. Then walked to the Louvre and did the Tuileries and kept right on going to the Eiffel Tower. That's a lot of walking btw. Great Paris walking. Uber to Vrbo - that's funny - and hit the hay. One more day here.
Wedneday is Montmartre day. We have croissant/cafe at Verse Toujours and take Les Gobelins metro to Les Abbesses. Hills, lots of them. Major walking all over Montmartre. Lunch right in the square near Sacre Coure. So touristy I know but I had to stop and sit and replenish. Prosecco, for sure. Can't recall my food. Then metro to Pere la Chaise and just make it past Jim Morrison heading toward Edith Piaf when the place closes! At 6 pm. Who knew? It's light till about 9 these days, but I get it. Anyway we returned 'home' via metro and then had dinner, last night! fairly close to our VRBO and I can't remember the name. Mick had duck, which he had frequently it turns out. Tomorrow we have a 6 am train for Amsterdam.
Ugh getting up so freaking early. 15 minutes earlier than we had said we needed to. Feeling shit and trying to enjoy the lonely streets of Paris at 5 am. as our Uber zips toward Gare du Nord. Pockets of partying young people/students still out. Several and considering it's Wednesday.....ahh Paree.
Wander train station and make the move to the Netherlands.
see ya there.
