Hoping to do a few local things then, back to do the other part of Disney tomorrow and Paris central on Friday - both in the heat!

Last time we were in Paris we did this mini cruise down the Seine. Only takes about an hour, and pretty cheap (for Paris).

If you open this link and scroll down a bit to where it says "What travellers loved", see what Thomas of Italy has to say... He must have gone on the adults-only trip :eyebrows:

Got to be able to multi-task if you want to be a cruise director.

23C now looking to reach 34C. Quite a bit of hazy cloud.

23.7C in room. Humidity 54% but I do have all the windows open. Going to nip round to the Sainsbury before the temperature goes up any more I think.

If our bus companies took a leaf out of their book, and brought back clippies to do the heavy lifting, maybe our public transport wouldn't be on its arse.

25C outdoors, 27.1C indoors. I was going to mow the lawn today, might put it off till tomorrow.

After a wet night, 17c and wet this morning

Great idea except the buses would be packed all the time and just sail past your stop.

Plus all the passengers having to wait about at the turn-around point while the drivers nip off for some 'nookie'.

I suppose the drivers would not be such miserable bastards as a result. It's all swings and roundabouts.

I've taken that Seine cruise, and it is as you say good value for money and, depending on the skill of the guide, very informative. It was long before the advent of PCs and the like, so there was no confusion between the letters at the end of of the first and second rows of the keyboard! :lol:
