Saying Goodbye to Paris
Our seats on the train back from Bayeux. Started off comfy but soon the train filled up to almost capacity. Next time, avoid the local ;-)
Early the next morning we said our goodbyes to our hotel
We arrived very early for our flight because someone (not saying who but he visits here and I read his blog of the same trip) who advised that four hours ahead was appropriate due to the long wait at the ticket counter.
It's certainly a good thing that these were available right near our gate. What a fabulous idea. There were more below us via a stairwell just to the left and in front of the windows.

I actually liked London slightly better if it comes down to it but both cities were equally nice. I think the reason was the language barrier and the transportation issues (trying to figure out where we were and where we wanted to be). I was floored by Normandy and would have loved to have spent more time, especially in the surrounding areas. My husband and friend leaned more to liking Paris better. The food was much better in Paris though, but I didn't find much difference in the price of wine and it wasn't cheaper than in the US in restaurants. In the store you could get a decent bottle for 2.95 euro where here I get my cheap wine for $7.99 or $5.99 on sale.
Our total cost for 3 was about $7500. A once in a lifetime trip.
Love,
Kelly
