Roman Theater

Ah, the challenges of blogging on the road without the big boy computer.

A lovely breakfast to start the day.

And off we go via taxi to Lugdanum to see the Musee Gallo Romain and the Roman amphitheater.

A place to water the pups.

The mosaics were spectacular. Up the hill to Fourviere to visit the Basilique.

Take the funicular to Vieux Lyon.

Lunch at Chez Lyon. Delicious. The artichoke dish paired well with a wine that tasted like olives.

Walking back to pick up our luggage we find the toilettes. You have to wait for it to wash and dry itself between each use. Very tidy. Dont get caught in the wash cycle

And off we go to our bateaux the Emerald Liberte.

Fancy it is. While we were eating our 4 course dinner with Cote de rhone wine, Steve from Lenne added some pinot noir from his winery.And they fancied up our room.

A very long day from Seattle to Paris to Lyon to our hotel Boulevardier. And waiting for someone to let us in was another challenge.

Yes we have our own courtyard with seal. Yes we do.Ok let’s walk around in a daze trying to stay awake to knock off that 9 hour time difference and 10 hour plane trip and some sort of TGV train from Paris and cab to hotel.

Deux vin rouge for cinq euro.

And there are some odd free tapas with a not good cocktail…stick to the vin rouge.

We’re off to France! First a river tour from Lyon to Arles on the Rhône river on the Emerald Waterways Liberte with Lenné Winery. Then a week in Paris!
