On the Eurostar |
Today we packed & cleaned up the flat and took the Tube to St. Pancras where we got some things to eat on the Eurostar which left around 11:30. It was very crowded, especially in the waiting area. The trip took under 3 hours and was uneventful.
We took a taxi from the Gare du Nord to 19 Rue de Deux Ponts on the Ile de la Cite. We were met by the owner who works in the shop below. (owns it?)
The flat is in a building under renovation and we are on the second floor. It is disappointing as it was expensive. The layout is funky. Sebastian is down a short flight of stairs in a bunk bed in a long narrow room. Our bedroom is fine. The kitchen is not well equipped, but we don't plan to do more than have snacks and breakfast here.
We took a walk to the Ile de la Cite and looked at Notre Dame which is closed to visitors due to it being Holy Week.
The crowds were massive, so we took a few photos and then went into the medieval streets of the Latin Quarter where we ate at a Chinese restaurant and all had noodle soup bowls and Sebastian had bubble tea.
From there we walked on the Left Bank back to the Ile St. Louis and shopped at a small Carrefour for a few things to eat and also located a patisserie for the morning croissants and baguette.
