Sorry but she who had bestowed on her the gift of eloquence after kissing the Blarney Stone has drifted into the land of dreams …

So our last full day of our adventure … we again started our day with a picnic breakfast under the Eiffel Tower … then an hours walk to “The Catacombs” where we were confronted with one of the scariest things we had encountered on our adventure … a freakin long queue …

So we passed an hour hoping the line would decrease … alas this was not the case … we joined the queue to the Catacombs … about an hour and twenty later we were in … worth the wait ? Maybe not however me not having seen anything like this ever before I did greatly appreciate Faiza’s persistence in staying in line !

We then trained it back home for a short break before our night dinner cruise … we met an Aussie couple: Tony and Vicki and had a great night with great food and great company while cruising down The River Seine …

Went for brisk walk this morning before we started our day. A visit to the Dalby Forest for some bush walking amongst the dales, lakes and moors took up most of our day…

The North York Moors/ National Park has some truly stunning scenery.

On the way back to York we stopped at a little market town. Sitting within the North Yorkshire Moors sits a boutique village town called Thornton le Dale with lots of brooks running under homes and streets. We stopped there to have some English tea…

Happy Birthday To Steven

We started off the day by picking up our hire car to make our way to Whitby via the Yorkshire Moors. We Spent most of the day in Whitby itself exploring what it has to offer. Whitby is a small coastal fishing village, very picturesque. We visited the old Abby. As a treat for Steve’s birthday I thought I’d give him something he hadn’t experienced before … So I pushed him down the Abbey well and buried him at the Abbey as he really loved this place

The pictures of Whitby don’t really do it justice.

Next stop …Robin Hood’s Bay for a little drink. An even smaller coastal village that is so adorable. It reminds me of the small villages of the Greek Isles with their narrow cobblestone passages and steep lanes with houses and boutique shops scattered along the cobblestone lanes.

Steven spotted a nice Kashmiri restaurant on route home (Reydale)…so we stopped for dinner.
