Trundling again...

Playlist

Up and packed and checked out...

Leaving our bags behind at the hotel, we headed back down the Rue Moufftard but, today, all the shops appeared to be shut...

We did find a cafe at the very foot of the street and sat outside for breakfast...


..where we were joined by this adventurous little sparrow...


We decided to walk back a different route and ended up walking through the Botanical Gardens and out to the river once again...


We walked along the banks for the last time, making our way back to Notre Dame...


...which is having a bit of a spruce up in time for the visit of the Pope in September...


We crossed the river again for the last time...


...and headed back to the hotel, where we collected our bags and said "Au Revoir"...

Then we trundled the case to St Michel and caught the train to Charles de Gaulle, via Paris Nord...


Another beautiful day...


...but our flight was delayed and every EasyJet passenger had to check in at the same desk, resulting in a very lengthy, annoyed queue...


This is where I can't believe Anne doesn't like personal stereos. I could stand in the queue and ignore entirely all the turmoil around me, immersed in a world of music...

We arrived in Edinburgh around 90 minutes late and caught the Airport Bus back to the bottom of the hill, before trundling back up to Crispycat Towers...


Then it was off for a quick visit to Castle Brodski to collect Meg the Black Cat from her own wee holiday...

Good to be home...

Highlight of the Day : Back home to Meg
