Dimanche le 12 octobre

Since all our plans had been foiled – we headed into centre ville to go to a couple of Museums – they are free on Sundays!
As we got to the Musée de Beaux Arts – with Mummies and Sarcophagus’ there was a food festival in the Place de la Revolution!
We had a plate of food, all sorts of things on it – think it may have been Indian, but not sure! As we were eating the lady beside us started talking to us. She was from Geneva, over for the day to see the sights. She told us how France is so family orientated compared to the rest of Europe and how lucky we came here. She said Switzerland you go for the scenery, Geneva is boring and there is no fun as the extreme protestant religion takes everything away – dancing, music etc…Rather interesting! She also gave great tips on family home stay sites and the International Youth Hostelling system – You don’t have to be young! Secondly most welcome families and have family rooms! The ones in Paris sound amazing, even have discos, bars etc!
Off to the museum and wandered around for a long time – the art was great – even a few Renoirs and a lot of others that art buffs may know but I am very limited in this area!

Raced to try to get to the Clock Museum but got there 2 minutes too late and couldn’t be bothered waiting for another hour – save it for another Sunday!

Home to try and get kids to bed early for tomorrow! This however failed as they were awake for ages – no doubt worried about school!
