The rest of the day...

After crossing the Seine in the rain, the girls made our way to the Louvre, not necessarily to go inside (because of the enormous queue), but for Emily to visit the flagship Apple store there underneath the famous glass pyramid. For those who don't know, Emily started a new job at the Apple store at Carindale before we left. It was a bit challenging to find it, but we persisted and it was worth the break from the rain. Em had a tour and we enjoyed playing with the new iPhone 5 and having a seat! Ps. The queue for the Louvre was not any different just because it was raining - it was enormous!
Next stop was finding the metro to take us to Montmartre and Sacre Coeur.  We found our way and after about 100 circular steps to get out of the Metro station (!!!??!)  we happily took the funicular (train) up the last steps - Cath A and girls - I thought of you and THAT song all the way. Sacre Coeur, or Basilica of the Sacred Heart was beautiful but we think the rain scared off the artists around Montmartre.  We meandered down the hill and found a spot to rest weary legs and have some lunch, before hopping on a couple of metros and doing some shopping and more walking on the way home, but not before finding a patisserie stop too! We also found Grandma and Tink in the vintage shop across the road, eyeing off the vintage Chanel and Hermes bags.
We all had a bit of a rest before Damian and I had a shopping trip around Rue de Honore and I finally bought something! Yay! (2 shirts and a dress).
As the boys had also had a big lunch, Damian whipped up some omelettes before bed.  We want a good sleep as it's our last full day in Paris tomorrow and we're off to Musee D'Orsay - I'm excited!
