On Thursday we began with a visit to the iconic Eiffel
Tower, where we took many a photo and bought many a souvenir. We then proceeded
to take a waterborne tour of the city, taking in such famous sights as Notre
Dame, the padlock bridge and back to the Eiffel Tower.
After this we stopped
quickly for lunch, and went on to the Chocolate Museum and factory. There we
concocted some delicious treats, including white chocolate buttons and milk
chocolate lollipops. We also had some interesting feats of dining, including
Tristan gulping down half a packet of liquid white chocolate. We then ate at
Flunch for dinner, and went back to the hotel for a quiz on general knowledge
and mastered the art of building marshmallow buildings.
p.s. Mr Charlwood told us some really fascinating facts
about the Paris sewers today. He is, in no way, running out of interesting
things to say. Voilá!
p.p.s. It is Mrs Shepheard's birthday tomorrow. Joyeux
Noël!
