Day Five: Our Travel Day and My Second Attempt at Yesterday's Pics

Again, the Internet access is not kind towards the uploading of pictures, but I'll keep trying.

Today we checked out of the Holiday Inn and boarded the bus for Dover to catch our ferry to Calais. It was a rather uneventful crossing. We just got on the ferry, sat down, wandered around the shops, and made our way to Calais. The whole time on the boat was actually only about 75 minutes total.

We then met our French bus driver and started the four-hour drive to Paris. Again, a thankfully uneventful ride. We checked into our Paris hotel; it feels like a French Days Inn. The rooms are a little bigger than the London hotel but not quite as big as the Kent hotel. I've got about five minutes to finish this post, as we are taking the Metro to the other side of the city for dinner. David will lead us on a short walking tour after dinner; then we will head back to the hotel to rest up for tomorrow's authentic tour of the Centre Ville.

I'll try the pictures again if I can get a better connection.
