#paris14 A day of maths and sight seeing

A relatively peaceful night passed by. Everyone was tucked up and asleep by midnight apart from one of our group who had a minor sickness bug, but even she was fast asleep by 3.
We awoke bright and early ready for our amazing breakfast buffet (I think I may be falling in love with the hotel!)
The plan for the day was to visit the worlds largest science museum in an area called La Villette, Cite de science et industrie. Here, they explored Pythagoras's theorem, platonic solids, normal distribution curves, 3 dimensional coordinates, distance time graphs, fractals and chaos theory before having some free time to explore other scientific wonders in the park.









Following their fantastic efforts we ordered a treat for everyone at the Mc Do across the road. I'm not sure what they thought when we ordered 66 meals!!! And if you were wondering, this is what it looks like...



By now we were all ready for the next leg of Walto tours, sightseeing in Paris. We have seen some fantastic sights today, some from the road and some from our trip down the river Seine. In no particular order, we've seen:
1, The Eiffel Tower
2, The hotel d'invalides
3, Sacre Couer
4, Notre Dame
5, Grand Palais
6, Arc De triomphe
7, Place De la concorde
8, The Princess Diana Memorial
9, Musee D'orcy
10, The Louvre (from the outside)
11, The moulin rouge
To name but a few!









We had dinner just outside the Arc De triomphe where some of our party were very brave and spoke French and ate typical French food. Some of which they had never seen or heard of before.
On our way back, we had fun and games as DJ Walto took to mic (again) with a selection of cheesy sing along hits, to which I made a little bit if a fool of myself by singing again!
Now were back at the hotel and its all quiet before 11 tonight.
I think we've worn them out...
