Panic not -nothing serious-last night decided to venture up the hill for dinner-tourist menus everywhere so chose a Pizza joint presuming 12euro could not be too bad with minestrone to start. French style Italian is a bit less tomatoey and blander than we are used to, maybe budget was tight on ingredients?? Anyhow, it was a disappointment, so off we went on a long walk as it ws a lovely evening-sun setting,pink clouds and litup Eiffel tower in the distance, alas no camera with us!
Took a very devious route home thru alleys and streets passing some much better restaurants ( and more expensive)which we will check out. Ended up about 3 km from our place and walked the boulevard along with the local prostitutes and their pimps. As there is a Rugby world Cup on there were plenty of potential customers- the Scots were wearing kilts and travelling in well lubricated packs enjoying themselves.One had a red Indian feathered headress on with a kilt- bonjouring all and sundry while weaving along -truly a fearsome sight.
Today have done Monet's Garden-however nearly lost my arm in the Metro door-quick and the dead- even if you are still letting people and prams etc. off-no real damage.
Trip to Giverney uneventful except for the conversation of some American ladies behind us-one upping each other-one had had lunch with Mrs Ferragamo!Garden as fabulous as I expected- gorgeous day for it.The house is also beautiful lots of character and charm.Not too many people there to enjoy it.
Back in Paris we walked thru the throng and bought patisserie to have with coffee back a home.Found a great shop where colourful accessories sold and antique perfume bottles etc.sold in another lovely shop.Off to find a decent place for dinner!
