(anybody get that HP reference?)
On an unusually cold and windy May evening in Paris (coldest temperatures ever recorded on that date), CARI decided she wanted to do an open-top double-decker bus tour at NIGHT. Starting at 10:00 PM and ending around 11:30 PM. We were originally schedule to be on a plush, heated, enclosed double-decker bus, but once Cari caught sight of the open-top bus she was determined for me to change our tickets so she could get better photos in the open air.
This is the price she paid to ride in the open-top double-decker...having to wear a plastic garbage bag to shield her from the rain. And it didn't even rain. It was windy and freezing cold, though...we lasted outdoors most of the ride but once we saw the Eiffel Tower in its glittering glory at 11:00 PM almost everyone on top headed for the enclosed lower portion of the bus. It was an adventure and it was absolutely worth it, not just for the views but for the recorded guide that gave us historical information about the illuminated sites.
THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TOUR:
Hotel du Louvre
The Louvre Museum
Pont Neuf (bridge) a little blurry but still pretty
The Notre Dame Cathedral
Arc du Triomphe and the Champs Elysees
3,000-year-old Egyptian Obelisk
Eiffel Tower with full moon
Hotel de Ville
Theatre Sarah-Bernhardt
