Paris Day 2 - The Rendezvous

Up bright and early the next day, and prepared to give Paris another chance after yesterdays trauma, we were all rearing to go. On the agenda today was

Breakfast at 8:00

Train station at 9:00 to buy our Paris Visit Cards

Basilique du Sacre Coeur at 12:00 to meet with Mike's brother and family

Lunch at 1:00

Arc de Triomph, 3:00

Walk down the Champs Elysee towards the Place de la Concord

Home

Everything was proceeding round about as planned until Anna and my nephew took a walk on the wild side and disappeared into the crowd streaming down the Champs Elysee. If I was to say we all felt a moments panic, then that would be the understatement of the year. All was saved by an Angel in the form of an English woman, who spotted the two misfits helplessly searching for a way back to us. She made Anna stand on a park bench and call out 'mummy'. Safely returned, we all had a hug and a good cry and were on our way again. God is good! It could so easily have been much worse.

Dinner that night was with Andrew and Vic - Mike's brother and his wife. It was lovely to be able to spend some quality time with them after so many years.

We all just fell into bed about 11:00. What an eventful day!
