2024 Norwegian Nomads

Although height is not Wayne’s friend, we did it twice today. We began by navigating the train network to the Louvre.

We then used the ‘hop on hop off’ bus to view Notre Dame and its renovations since the fire. Amazing to imagine putting out that fire and then to watch all the renovating in action.

We bussed to the Arc de Triomphe and climbed the internal stairs. What a view with all the roads leading to it at the centre.

We were convinced by a young boy from Dublin to get fish and chips at a little cafe.

In the evening, we went to the Eiffel Tower to achieve one of Donna’s bucket list items – to the top for a glass of champagne.

Although very cold and lots of waiting, it was worth the trip.

We took the Metro back to the apartment and the boys decided to have a nightcap. What a decision to rue! The slowest service with Danny only getting half a beer and when they asked for food, it was either toast or a bagel. Eventually, after much ‘to-ing and fro-ing’, the bagel came out with salmon, wet lettuce and some bits of ham. Wayne was very unimpressed.
