Our day started at 6am when we headed to the airport in Valencia. This is us getting coffee in the airport. We were there WAY too early, and had a couple of hours to kill before our 8:30 flight.
Back in Paris, we still had things to do. We dropped off the bags, and headed back to the Marais. This is Erik and Karina in the park eating falafel, then we headed to the Picasso museum to see the Dora Maar exhibit which was fantastic. We have now decided that the audio guides are a must whenever they are available. They were included in the ticket price, and added so much more to the show. We headed to a cafe for some restoratifs (much more expensive here than in Spain) before heading back home for a nap.
We went out for a nice last supper at La Coupole, one of the many swanky restaurants on Blvd Montparnasse that have been around for ages. The interior was huge, and nicely decorated with painted coloumn, and old photos on the walls. The food was great, and the service was fantastic (except for the woman who took our coats, then asked for a tip when she gave them back...so tacky!)
Erik's appetizer was six oysters.
This was the seafood platter that the table across from us ordered. It was two tiers with whole lobsters, langoustines and oysters.
We finished the evening with a trip to the top of the tour Montparnasse. This is Erik and Karina in the elevator on the way up to the 56th floor.
Taking a quiz on our knowledge of Paris. 9/10 ain't bad!
Admiring the lights.
Our pizza pie shaped block. We're a couple of buildings in from the bottom corner, on the left side.
We've had a great visit with Karina. We can't believe how much we've done, and we were busy every day doing something. Karina left this morning, and we were sad to see her go. Hopefully she'll be back soon....
