Beanie's Big Holiday, Day 6

Today, we had more real coffee for breakfast!!

With Brioche and jam!!  That's a really nice breakfast you know!

Then off to the Metro into town!

We got off here, at La Muette!

And then followed the signpost for the Marmottan Monet museum!!

We walked through some very pretty parks and gardens.

And then we arrived!!!

Musee Marmottan Monet. There was a long queue outside and it took about an hour to get in but we're both glad we did.  There was a lovely "En Prive Impressionist" exhibition on which was super busy, but then downstairs in the basement there was a big exhibition with all of Monet's water lily paintings!  That was fab!
After that, we spent some money in the gift shop.

And then wandered off back to the Metro stop.....

Past this very fabulous (and rather expensive!!) seafood restaurant!

And we're off.....!

Before we came out the other end we saw a group of buskers singing songs!  That was fun!

We got off at Chatelet!

And walked down to the Palais de Justice on the river.

With a very fancy clock!

We stopped for lunch and had an Ocean salad, which had lots of green stuff and prawns and potatoes and two big bits of smoked salmon on top!  It was yummy!  Oh, and we had fries too!

We saw the Notre Dame too!

And another drain cover!

 We saw some more grafitti

And book stalls!

That fence is covered in padlocks!

LADUREE!  We're going to buy cakes!!

Then we saw more grafitti near the bus stop!

We got off near Place de Clichy and saw this big silver apple!

When we got home, we unloaded our shopping of a new book...

Two DVDs about Monet

And a CD of gypsy music!

We had another two cheese omlette for dinner!  These are yummy!!

I'm pooped out....!

Beanie's Big adventure, Day Five

On Friday 12th September, we met our new friends, Corinne and Paul, Simon and the two Japanese ladies at breakfast. They let me eat the chocolate bread again since they knew it was my favourite! I hope there isn't a shortage of this stuff, I love it!

We then all went to a place called "Travel Agent" to try and find out how we were all going to get home. That's Simon on the left, and Paul on the right, with a very nice French lady checking on her computer for a thing called "Ferry". I don't know what that is, though. Andrea said not to worry, so I'll try not to!

In the window of "Travel Agent" there was a little TGV train! I wonder if we'll use one of those? By lunch time, Andrea said everything was sorted out, and we would all be travelling home together tomorrow!!


Andrea then took me out to lunch and she ordered me a "Caesar's Salad". Apparently "Caesar" was like the King or Emperor of a place called Rome, and Caesar's Salad was invented especially for him in a castle called "Caesar's Palace" which is in a place called Las Vegas. (sounds kinda foreign to me) Andrea says that since I'm eating food made for a King, I can be King Beanie of Paris for the whole day!!!

After lunch, we went for a walk by the river. Over there, that's the Palais de Justice. Maybe we should send Eurostar there for not helping us get a hotel last night??

We crossed over a bridge and had a look round. That's a fancy entrance, eh? Andrea wanted to show me a place called Notre Dame, but it was really busy around there because some guy called Pope had come to Paris to talk to lots of people. There was also lots of Police vans around too, so we headed back towards the river. After last night at the station, I don't like crowds.

Oh, isn't that a pretty clock!! That's on the Palais de Justice.

We walked past lots of street vendors and book sellers by the river. There's a picture there of a very angry looking cat - I wonder if he got stranded by Eurostar too?? I know the feeling...!

There's that pyramid again!! We had fabulous weather today, it was glorious!

We walked past a pet shop and saw some of my cousins in the window!! It's not fair that they don't have a bidet to wash in though.....

There's another outdoor shower thing! This one's bigger though.....

We then went back to the hotel for a rest. Andrea said that being stranded in Paris meant it was A Special Occasion and so I could start eating my Macarons that she bought me!!!

YIPPPEEEE!!! These are FABOOOOOO!!

We met up with our new friends for dinner again. We went to a Posh Restaurant for dinner and Andrea ordered me Salmon with a creamy salad which was very tasty!!

Corinne took this picture of me and Andrea sharing an "Iceburg" which is mint flavoured ice cream with hot chocolate sauce on top!!! I think Andrea likes icecream and chocolate as much as I do, she looks very happy there!!

Then we all crashed out at the hotel. Andrea said it was best to get an early night because we had lots of travelling to do the next day.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........
