The Paris Metro

I forgot to mention our first time on the Paris Metro (subway) and the great success it was. As the only person with any experience on the train here, I was tour guide. We were just going from Notre Dame to Tour de Eiffel, so no train changes needed - we just had to point in the right direction. Damian and I took the kids downstairs, found the right line, the train arrived, and Damian (being a gentleman) helped a lady get her baby and stroller on the train. Joseph, Alice, Finbarr and I jumped on the train and turned around just in time to see the doors close with a panic-stricken Emily and Damian still on the platform!! With a bit of sign language through the glass door, we were able to arrange that we'd jump off at the next stop so we could find them again! It was all very easy as when their train pulled up they were in the same spot so we just jumped on, but it was a bit of a laugh to start the day.
