Champs Elysee
I can't even spell it, how can you expect me to say it? :)
We headed here after the museums for food and a walk. Looked at a few shops, I had a Nutella Crepe with Bananas,Oh my god!!! Then we had an enormous pizza - each, before heading on up to the Arch dTriumph. That was pretty amazing, though we didn't go up it 'cos it was too late.
The most moving part for me was catching a group of soldiers taking a wreath up the the Arch, the police stopping all the traffic to let them through. Somehow it all seemed that much more real, standing on the soil where blood was spilled, watching soldiers who had seen their comrades die in defense of the very country we were standing in. I was almost moved to tears.
We then headed back to our hotel for bags, and onto the Eurostar to travel back by Chunnel to England. Which was all good until the train was delay for 1 hour, so we didn't get back to London until after 11. I just read harry potter :)
