In Unkraine, the toilets are at the end of each car too. There are little cubicles all along the side with one long aisle. There were two sets of bunk beds in each cubicle with just room to walk between them. Those bunks were 'hard' too.

I am pleased that you enjoyed my post. I like to share when it is of interest to someone else. It is often mindboggling to stand in front of these beautiful works of art and think about the person who worked on that piece of marble and made it into something the following generations could admire and appreciate. I think these two pieces are at the top of the list of great art.

We visited Salzburg, Austria. Saw Mozart's home. His pianoforte and pages of music he had written were on display. Saw the locations used in "The Sound of Music". We went on to Zurich , Switzerland, spent one day going through the shops and candy stores. Then on to Lucerne, Switzerland. Standing by the lake, seeing the quiet water like a glass table and smelling the chocolate from the eateries, made one feel that all must be right with the world. The people were so nice. The South of France is really beautiful, no wonder so many rich folks go there to live. One can see the many places from the train window. The French trains go fast! The toilets at the end of each car have a sign on the wall in five languages "Don't flush the commode unless the train is moving." More later, Belle Belle

Paris was a very interesting place but I would not like to live there. We had a nice hotel room, newly remodeled, new bathroom fixtures. The wallsof the bedroom were 'carpeted' for extra soundproofing. We saw Notre Dame church near the hotel. Went to the top of the Eifel Tower, got some great pictures, what a view of the big city! Took the boat trip down the Seine, past the castles onthe banks. Spent two days exploring the Louvre, saw and made pictures of the real Mona Lisa painting. One could spend a lot of time there, so much to see. We walked down the main street by the fashion shops and classy offerings. I had the nerve to go in one of them and ask the price of a leather purse in the window. It was beautiful and only $1200.00 .. We spent a day going o the Royal Palace at Versailles. That is where the famous Hall of Mirrors is located and where I had the meeting with the "stinking ghost". We had many choices of restaurants and of foods. One day we were inthe Arch de Triumph. They had a small lunch counter on the 5th floor. Chicken soup sounded good. The menu read chicken soup with 'legumes.' Well, it was not much but yellow water with a sliver of celery and an even smaller sliver of carrot and three little green peas floating around. If a chicken came near that soup it must have just walked by the stove while the water was boiling, no closer. More later, Belle
