tour of paris
*SOLVED

1

We just returned from a school tour with high school students. We had Atwood day delay leaving the. States. EFTours sent a bus to take us back home and then sent a bus, which was only big enough for half of our group. After 45 minutes of. Conversing with. Someone from EF. Several parents. Volunteered to drive the remaining 10 back down to Indy. We made our flight and then had to spend 8 hours waiting to flay to Paris. We arrived exhausted and excited. We were taken by bus to our hotel, given minutes to take our stuff to our room, and then back to lobby. We then hiked about. 2 miles to the metro, changed stations several times (involved many stairs both up and down) then into Paris to Notre Dame cut the massive line and given 30 minutes for lunch. All of this 'travel' was accomplished at break neck speed that was so fast that you could not even take a picture lest you loose sight of the group and are lost in Paris. We then RAN thru the left bank to take ascenic boat cruise to the Eiffel tower and back! Then on to the louvre for several hours. The museum was packed and even hotter than outside. At our appointed time we were then run over to the Opera house to wait more than half an hour for the other half of our group. Then on to a terrible dinner of lettuce and fried potatoes! We asked to take a taxi back because we were exhausted and were told that it was impossible as the taxis would all be busy till 9 and that it would be too expensive! We dragged back the same way that that we had come and arrived back around 9:30 and wer told we had an early wake up and would have a sack breakfast for the bus. I had terrible leg cramps that were. So painful that I was trembling as my husband desperately tried to help me by wrapping my legs in cold wet towels. I the morning we bot had massive red rash like blotches on our legs...broken blood vessels. Thankfully we did not have as much fast hiking this day. After talking with several others fellow travelers they also never wanted to go back to Paris and the possibility of returning at the end of our tour of south France left us asking to leave from Nice. The thing that I most wanted to do in Paris was to have one magic nite and a special dinner to remember our DATE in France maybe at the Moulon Rouge. Actually after our first day all I wanted to do was go home!
