It was our last leg today and we made an early start from
Saint-Germain-en-Laye heading towards our final destination - the
Eiffel Tower in
Paris! En route, we went to the
Versailles Palace via some very busy roads with narrow bike lanes which would never pass health & safety at home!!! 😏
From there on, it was mostly downhill and Tom (our leader) took a casual approach to traffic rules ignoring several red lights just like the locals did. As they say,
"When in Paris, do what the Romans do!" 😎 We made our final approach along the river cycle path which brought us to the French copy of our Blackpool tower - they call it Eiffel here!
After a few embarrassing hugs and kisses from our welcome party (our family), we enjoyed another sumptuous picnic which we have become accustomed to while in France. Nathan and his family went up the Eiffel tower after lunch while we enjoyed a well-deserved snooze under a shady tree.
Thank you everyone for sponsoring us and sending kind messages. 💖
Mum, I want a new laptop please for all the hard work you put me through! I am looking forward to waking up at 3 pm every Saturday again! 😴😴😴
