Busy but fun Paris visit

Well we are now back in the UK heading north. It has been quite a week, and I have been far too busy on pupil duty to blog, but here is a quick summary. I woke on Saturday 29th feeling chipper and we all went into Paris for the day. We had such a laugh. We started off on the Bâteaux Mouches and then walked down the Champs Élysées. The weather was warm and sunny. Jennifer (my roomie), Vicky and I went into a toilet that cost 2 euros; it was very clean and you were escorted to your cubicle! All of the staff ended up having a lovely lunch at the George V restaurant. It was great. As we travelled around the city in our comfy bus we played cards and chatted. After visiting the Eiffel Tower - we didn't go up, we sunbathed in the gardens - we went to Montmartre. This time I stayed at the foot of the hill with George and we sat in a café, admired the views and watched the world go by. I also went into an amazing chocolate shop where there was a huge model of Notre Dame Cathedral made entirely of chocolate. When we got back to our hotel I volunteered to take a pupil to Disney to collect a bag that she had lost there the day before. By the time we got back it was about 11 p.m. but the other teachers were just sitting down to some pizza so I joined them and we had a nice chat.
Yesterday, Sunday, we spent the whole day at Parc Asterix. The weather was hot and sunny so I dressed lightly. I really liked the park; it was divided into areas that were themed as different parts of the Roman Empire. We went on a few rides in the morning and watched the dolphin show and the stunt show. The stunt show was dire; it was about robbers and police slapstick fighting over a stolen Mona Lisa and it went on and on. The dolphins were very cute though! After lunch we stood in a very long queue to go on the Tonnerre de Zeus Ride. We stood and chatted for more than an hour and a half in the hot sun but the time flew by. The ride was terrifying - near vertical drops, and twists and turns; I pulled a muscle in my neck as we plunged downwards! I was glad I went on it though, it was a really good roller coaster. Back to the hotel for our last evening which was a wee bit eventful but ok. And today we are on the long journey home!
