Au revoir Paris and Homeward bound...........

Greetings from Paris on the final day of my wonderful gap year wanderings..... I arrived in Paris on Tuesday from London via the Eurostar train which departs from the beautiful St Pancras International Train Station & travels under the English Channel to Paris in just over 2 hrs............





Paris has treated me to rain and stormy weather.........but not complaining given the gorgeous weather I have had. At least my trusty raincoat got to do some sightseeing!! Weather is not good for photography but here are few images from my wanderings around Paris.......

On the walk up to Montmartre, one Paris' most recognised sights! A challenging walk - lots of steps!



A couple of window displays from some of the many very expensive brands available in Paris......



The quaint hotel I'm staying at, in the setting sun..........at least the flower baskets appreciated the rain!

The Welcoming Hands. A series of these bronze casts are in the Tuileries Garden. From what I've seen of world news lately, I think we need more of these scattered around the world!

Must away to finish packing & take a short stroll before I head to the airport for my flight!

I'm looking forward to home, feeling enriched & refreshed by my wanderings! Thank you for reading my blog & to my faithful Facebook readers, I've appreciated your comments & encouragement along the way! Looking forward to catching up in person........... au Revoir, K
