Our third day in Paris was spent on a little light retail therapy, a few petit cafés,
followed by a bit more sightseeing, a glass or two of white wine and good Salade des poulpes at the Bistro de la Bastille.
We met Paul and Kim for an early supper before we headed for the airport and had the chance to catch up on their news. All was going well until we arrived in the departure lounge at Paris-CDG to find that our flight was delayed. Easyjet at their best - just as on our departure from Edinburgh!! nobody had any information on which gate or when the incoming flight was expected or how long the delay would be. Having spent nearly three hours waiting in a terminal full of noisy weans we finally took off nearly 2 hours late - apparently due to some baggage handling problem at Gatwick according to the pilot.
Arriving in Edinburgh after midnight we took the easy option and went straight for the minicab rank - bypassing the airport bus on the way.
With only 30 hours at home before we were due to leave for Seil, Linda had to get busy with the washing machine while I had to remove some shelves and repair and paint the wall in preparation for the arrival of a new painting - which we bought on our last weekend in Millport.
This was followed by a bit of organising and repacking ready for a visit to Mary and Brian on the Isle of Seil and a couple of nights at Monachyle Mhor with Mad Ali and Toby.
