Good-bye Innsbruck-Hello Paris.
Breakfast was very quiet. Few people talked. Mostly people hugged and said good-byes. Everyone was catching buses to make connections with planes. We were on our way to Munich, Germany & then Paris, France for a few days before going home.

A weekend in Paris
... to police station, started thinking about getting an Iphone 4S replacement, went to museums Louvre and Orsay – I think we have totally covered all museums in Paris now. We did some quick sightseeing around the Monmatra area, visited this intimate piano bar where we had some onion soup, perhaps the same kind of bar that Picasso would frequent when he was a poor man.
