Monet's Garden Giverny

Well Anna and I have arrived in Europe.   We arrived in Paris this morning just before 7am.  I had originally insisted that we didn't leave for the start of the Camino until Friday.  However, after having afternoon tea with some friends a bit over a week ago, I decided what we could do on this "spare" day - go to Giverny.  There had been an exhibition at the NGV in Melbourne for a number of months called "Monet's Garden".  I had been months ago but my friend had been to the exhibition not long we met up.  I had loved the exhibition, but hadn't thought of actually going to the garden when we were here. However we did.  From the airport we caught three different trains on our journey to Vernon - the nearest station to the garden.  We got a taxi to where we are staying - about a couple of kilometres past the the garden and dropped off our luggage.  We were lucky to get the taxi.  We were initially not first in the queue, however as there were no taxis in sight, everyone else decided to catch the shuttle bus after all.  We were getting a bit desperate as we wanted to drop our bags off first!  However lo and behold, a taxi arrived.  We dropped our stuff at the very nice B&B where we are staying and walked back the the garden.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  I am about to go to bed now.  Although we both slept on the plane on the leg from Singapore to Paris - we left Singapore at 11:55pm Wednesday night, we are a  bit tired!
