Hopped up early (or early for us these days), skipped our hotel breakfast and jumped on the train baguette in hand, to avoid crowds and queues for Monet’s Garden. Worked a treat. Arrived in Vernon round 9.30 and after a short bus ride were in Giverney by 10 – negotiated the queue at the ticket office within about 15 minutes and we were in!
Found myself humming “It’s a small world” after sitting next to a woman on the train who lives in Momt Albert North (less than 500 metres from our house).
The gardens were beautiful – we were so glad that we viewed his paintings before going – it was like seeing them come to life….
The little village of Giverney was also beautiful in its own right..
Just had our last Parisian dinner in a local restaurant – now the task of packing – groan….
Even we’re feeling melancholy that your holiday is winding up and you’ll be heading home very soon.
We’ve loved going home each night to check out what you’ve been up to and follow your adventures.
Have a relaxed flight home – they will probably have a few ‘foreign’ movies to watch to help extend your holiday to the very last minute.
Love to you both.
Ryan and Roger
looking forward to seeing you. I’ll be in Syd tomorrow back Wednesday
