Last Night in Paris

Our vacation is drawing to a close. We had an uneventful trip from Prague to Paris. Logistics: we walked to the train station in Prague, took the Airport Express bus for $2.50 a piece, and made it to the airport in plenty of time. We flew Czech Airlines, which took me back in time. They had no charges for checking one bag, gave out sandwiches and beer or wine, and arrived on schedule. We were able to get a good airfare, too--$130 a piece for a 2 hour flight. We struggled a bit figuring out how to get to our B&B in Paris. The owners recommended the Air France bus, which cost 15 euros. After just paying $2.50 to get to the airport in Prague, that seemed a bit stiff. We opted to take Metro instead. It took longer since there was a transfer involved, but we made it. We will take the Air France bus tomorrow since we don't want to mess around before our morning flight.

We are staying at the Gentle Gourmet B&B, the "world's first urban vegan B&B". I heard about the place from my vegan cooking teacher, who sometimes teaches classes here. They gave us an entire spacious apartment for the night. It is very nice, quiet and comfortable. We had time to walk around the neighborhood before dark. It is near the Arc d Triomphe and a long walk from the Eiffel Tower. Here is their website if you want to check it out: gentlegourmetbandb.com I wouldn't mind staying here again! We have an early vegan breakfast before taking the Air France bus to the airport. Not a bad way to start the day!
