Jeffrey & Debbies Latest Adventures
I am hoping that if you are reading this that you read the original story all that time ago,(can you believe its 12 months) about how we first got together, if not go & have a read on my blog either on Sagazone or Blogger.
Well one of the things that brought Debbie & I together was the idea of a lovely trip to Paris where we would travel to the top of the Eiffel Tower & hold hands & maybe kiss (just like in the films) whilst looking out across the city (hopefully this time unlike in our fantasy Brenny would not be there to break the atmosphere & spoil the occasion) so when the chance of a trip there came up on Eurostar how could we not go & on top of that it was going to be Bastille Day with parades & fireworks, oops hang on a minute Debbie DOES NOT DO FIREWORKS umm well maybe we can go anyway & just have a lovely trip instead.
So we searched the internet & found trains to take us to
We arranged to meet in London at St Pancras which in itself was quite romantic, then off to the hotel, where we were offered an upgrade to a better hotel that Tony Blair had stayed in only the last week, but it was to far for a train the next morning, so we stayed at our hotel.
Off on an open top tour of London seeing the sights (photos to follow) together, we could not believe all of the traffic there was on the roads but saw famous places like Trafalgar Square, The London Eye, but for some reason, not Tower Bridge or Buckingham Palace (maybe we will call back another time for them), holding hands & chatting to each other.
The next morning we were up early & off to the station, onto Eurostar which was the true start of our big adventure, with breakfast served at our seats, then swiftly on to Paris & our hotel after another adventure trying to find our way to the hotel on the Metro, it was a nice little place with pleasant staff.
We went on another open top tour but now of
Well when we got there lots of parts of the area had been cordoned off for the parade the following day & fireworks, but we decided we would queue & go to the top on the thirds level as we had agreed, well what a long wait & so many people with the same idea, eventually we got to the front of the queue but the 3rd level was closed, so we went to the 2nd instead, the views were beautiful (sorry had forgotten to say how lovely & warm with the sun shining it had been during our stay) we looked out (checked no Brenny) held hands & kissed it was MAGIC, we looked on all the sides of the tower, then later finally got to the third level, it was so high up there we could see for miles, guess what we kissed again & held each other so close much better than a fantasy, whilst there we had an ice cream to celebrate (isn’t it funny how normal things are so special at these times), then back down.
Being greedy we went back that evening to see it all lit up, the wait was really worth it all, in particular when the flash lights came on & it seemed to shimmer in the dark (good excuse for more holding hands & kissing)
The next day it was Bastille Day so we went to see the parade, unfortunately we got there very early at the wrong end of the avenue, but it was a lovely day & we enjoyed watching the parade together, afterwards we went for a wander then a rest before the evenings fireworks.
As usual we got there early & found a seat about 8pm, then waited & chatted watching the other people as they gathered, we noticed a young man who seemed anxious waiting for someone to arrive, he was on his mobile pacing up & down for over 2 hours, we hope she eventually turned up & was worth all his distress & patience, it got darker & the crowds were getting thicker now, (what a lovely loving person Debbie must be that she was prepared to put up with this & the fireworks to make me happy) finally they started I held here close so she would not be frightened, they really were spectacular against the tower itself, & went on for some time, unfortunately for Debbie accompanied by loud bangs.
Eventually they finished & the crowds started to disperse, I have never seen so many people in one place at a time, it was almost frightening as sadly they pushed & shoved each other, eventually we managed to move on happily talking about the event, but we held each other close and should I mention held hands & kissed each other. Then off to an exotic place for a drink(well it was where the locals seemed to go, McDonalds) after back to the hotel
This morning we were tired & also knew the adventure was ending, but we still had the trip back, home, I think after how lovely a time we had had it was more than a little sad for us both, even more when we had to part back in London, but hang on we have already spoken to each other & are meeting with a Saga group this weekend, so maybe we can hold hands, kiss maybe plan our next adventure together
We hope you have enjoyed the read & as said by Disney “Wishes Really Can Come True” if we want & make the effort together enough
