Wine tour 2012 - day 13 and day 14

Coming to the end of the trip, today we took the train from Bordeaux back to Paris. Spending about 3.5 hours, we came back to Paris, and staying at the same hotel - Mercure Tour Eiffel. I went to the nearby aquarium trying to see whether they got my favorite shark doll. Unfortunately, the gift shop is inside and we have to pay the entry fee to get in. Having not much interest (it is a small aquarium) I gave up...

After going over to Lafayette to buy souvenirs, we came back to hotel for dinner, at a nearby brassiere. Really the worst meal for the whole trip, there was nothing I should elaborate, but just some simple pasta, and a large pint of beer...

On the next day we went to Champs Elysees near noon to walk around and had our lunch, at an Italian restaurant Cafe di Roma. Decent food and good price, no wonder there were so many people there... Continuing to shop, we also went to Hediard and Fauchon for some chocolate and foie gras to bring back home.

Finally, it was time to go back to HK. Arriving early, we spent some time in the new CX lounge in CDG. Nicely decorated and spacious, there was the Dan Dan Noodle which, even though not exceptionally good, still got us something different from the last two weeks.

We also met my friend's husband who was on the same flight, as well as another friend, who had got his cash stolen in the airport after immigration. How unlucky he was...

Overall we had a wonderful time throughout and despite the unhappy incident right at the beginning, there was nothing I complained on this trip. I really look forward to organizing another one in near future, and next time it may be Loire or Rhone....
