A Shorter Day

We went off to a late start in contrast to our very big day yesterday. It was a bit cooler and more drizzly today. We started with ice cream at Amorino. Cones have the scoops done up like a flower. I didn't care as long as it tasted good (it did). We finally got our overseas roaming data fixed up and were able to use an app called Citymapper (thx Loz). You just type in your starting point and destination and it will give you different directions depending on what mode of transport you want to take. We used it to navigate Paris' very complicated metro system. It told us what trains we needed to take as well as how many stops we had until we needed to leave or change trains. Then we went to see the Arc de Triomphe. We were watching all the cars driving around on the roundabout, wondering how they managed it with multiple lanes and no lane markings. Then we went to see the Eiffel tower. We saw about half a dozen newlyweds getting their pictures taken with it in the background. We had an early dinner at Café Kléber. Mum had salmon tartar followed by a creme brulee, Dad had a mixed salmon, prawn and green bean dish, and I had a ceasar salad followed by a Nutella crepe.
