Left our hotel on a water taxi around 3:50 this morning. It took about 30 minutes in the water taxi to get to the Venice Airport. We had to wait until after 4:30 to get checked in. Found our gate with no problem. Venice has a small airport.
I had a bowl of fruit for breakfast and the last bit of pecans I had brought with me.
Flight took off and landed on time in Frankfort. Had a long walk in Frankfurt to get to our next gate. I was glad we had an hour and one-half layover. Got a mozzarella cheese and tomato sandwich and left the bread. The sandwich only had three bits of cheese and tomato on it. Also had a bag of potato chips. Not thinking the chips are on plan but i counted them as a grain. Didn’t have many choices and they were better than bread for me.
The flight from Frankfurt to Paris was a bit late but not much. We had checked our bags so went to claim them and then called for our pick-up service. We walked a long ways to where they said to meet them. We waited over 30 minutes and called them again as they had said it would not be longer than 20. This time they said it would be five more minutes before the driver arrived which turned into another 30 minutes.
The guy finally came and we headed to our hotel. We had to drop another passenger off first and about an hour after we got in the van we got to our hotel.
Our room wasn’t ready so we dropped off our luggage and walked two blocks to find food. I had a chicken Caesar salad. It had green beans, potatoes, and other veggies in it. I was hungry and ate most of it.
Came back to the hotel after lunch and got to our room. We both took a much needed nap.
We are a 15 minute walk from Notre Dame so plan on walking there this afternoon. The Louvre is another 15 minute walk on down from there. We will take a bus to go to the Louvre in the morning.
Paris feels busy and loud there is a lot of traffic. I enjoyed the no car scene in Venice.
Only have a little over 5,000 steps in so far today. Nice to slow down our pace a bit this afternoon and rest.
Grateful for our safe arrival to the hotel, grateful for a nap today, and grateful to find food that is mostly on plan.
