Everybody was pretty tired this morning when we showed up for breakfast at 6:45am. During our meal, we heard an announcement that the ship was cleared and that we could disembark at will. After breakfast, we left the ship and picked up our bags. I stopped for a few minutes to mail back a souvenier knife that I bought for Brandon. Shipping was expensive, but I didn’t want the hassle of bringing it to Paris & Munich.
We got out of the cruise terminal around 8 and our bus was waiting for us. Knowing that we had about 3 hours to kill until we were due at the airport, our guide very offered a quick tour of Park Guell which was designed by Barcelona’s famous Antonio Gaudi. We had a very pleasant time strolling around the beautiful park –sure beats sitting at an airport gate on plastic chairs!
After our visit to the park, it was time to head to the airport. The flight was short (about 90 minutes), but all 3 boys fell asleep. Megan was very good & quiet the entire flight until… Just after they announced our initial approach into Paris and turned on the seat belt sign, Megan had a big blow-out in her diaper. Michele did a great job of keeping her quiet until just after we landed. Then, Megan started crying loudly and would not be consoled. She was ready for diaper change! We taxied a long time and then came to a stop. They announced that we would be waiting for a couple minutes for another aircraft to get out of our gate. Michele seized the opportunity to do a quick change on her and all was well again.
We got off the plane, picked up our bags, met our waiting guides, and were escorted out to our bus. It was about 45 minute ride to the hotel. After getting up early and traveling all day, none of us really felt like going back out, so we ordered room service and stayed in the room. We are staying at the Ritz and our suite is FANTASTIC! We can even see the Eiffel Tower from our balcony. I think we will be very comfortable here for the next few nights. Cameron had a fun time trying out the “butt-washer”.
I spent most of the evening working out details with our guide and Kent regarding our schedule for the next few days. I think we finally have everything settled. Tomorrow is a free day and I think we may go visit the science museum (kid-friendly) or maybe just walk around sightseeing. In the evening, we will leave the kids with a babysitter and go to a fancy dinner in the Eiffel Tower.
