We had a lovely night out on our river boat dinner cruise, despite some minor commuting woes. We could see our boat from the promenade, but the steps down were closed. Fortunately we were able to communicate from afar with the crew using sign language, so they didn't sail off without us.
We had a table near the front and it was just lovely sailing as we ate nice food and drank nice wine, with good company!
The piece de resistance of course, was the twinkling of the lights on the Eiffel Tower as we sailed past on our return. There was even dancing!
Amazing how many Parisians were picnicking along the river bank even at that hour of night. Don't seem to be any rules about alcohol in public places, so they're all drinking wine, but we didn't see any drunk and disorderlies on our travels.
By the time we disembarked, the RER train had closed for the night, so the two derelicts sleeping in the subway told us, so we wandered a bit further to find another Metro station.
A fitting finale to our French fling. How's that for alliteration!
Off to Singapore tonight...a new experience for us both.
