The girls were great troopers as our day started at 9am with a high speed train to Lyon and ended with a 11:15 bedtime back in Avignon. As always seems to be the case the girls fared better than their parents.
The magnificent Place Bellecour provided us the opportunity to see Lyon from the Large Ferris Wheel. The girls loved this ride! It was literally 15 minutes after my brush with Fear Factor and the downing of a few pieces (and I do mean few!) of Cow stomach but fortunately the ride was smooth.
Following our afternoon of walking through the streets of Vieux Lyon, we stumbled across a swing ride that the girls loved. I went to buy two rides for the girls but 4 rides were the price of two so around they went for the next 20 minutes. The ride came at the perfect time as the girls were just starting to get tired and spinning around for 20 minutes seemed to rejuvenate them.
The final video shows the Lyon Theatre dancing its way through the night. The streets were packed with people giving the city a very festive atmosphere.
It really was a spectacular day!
Happy Birthday to Lily!
