Saturday 30th April
Walked to station to catch train to Geneva and connection to Paris. The trip to Geneva very pretty and we are impressed with trains in Europe. They leave on time - stations vast but these old gits are getting to know the system. Geneva we stopped for an hour before changing trains - had lunch and a bit of a walk around. Very dirty and unkempt in station area and people - oh so cosmo!!! We are on the "I spid" train to Paris. We both cracked up laughing and thought of Peter Sellers and his inspector le Cleus! The trip although fast, seemed to take ages - probably because we joined a long queue to get a taxi to the hotel on arrival in Paris. The hotel okay - small but fairly central and just off the Champs Elysees (sp) and close to the Arc de Triomphe etoile. We had a taxi driver "no specki English" so god knows how long it took from the station and we'll never know how many deviations he took!!
