Our ladies had a chance to go shopping in Lyon.... And they did!
We needed to pack in the afternoon.
Time for a champagne reception and a chance to thank the wonderful staff of the ship.
They work seven days a week for eight months...and always have a smile on their face.
Most of us rated AMA waterways as Outstanding. It would be hard to find fault with anything as everyone couldn't be more helpful. The ship is very clean and in perfect repair.
The captain is only 27 years young and this was his second trip. We thought he looked like Tiger Woods and his first mate like Ben Affleck! We enjoyed the eye candy :-)
Another delicious dinner... We were very spoiled.
Nanette had made 'memory sheets' and we took time during dinner to write messages to everyone. A nice keepsake for years to come, of a river cruise and of new friends.
On Friday morning we had to leave the ship by 8:30 am and we took a short bus ride to the centre of Lyon where we visited a cooking school. We broke up in groups of 3 and each made 3 different dishes. All delicious and easy to make. They served Beaujolais... It is Noon in the world somewhere, right?
Vino The Beaver had fun with the chefs and really liked the whipped cream! Watch that waistline!
We had a chance to do some more shopping and grab a quick lunch before boarding the bus to the train station. AMA took care of all our luggage, so it was very easy.
It had been raining in Lyon but we are taking the sunny weather we had all week with us to Paris.
Spot Vino the beaver! She is enjoying her first train ride and new adventure.
Just arrived in Paris. Safe train journey - two hours. Sun is shining but it is chilly. We are happy!
The noisy Canadians have arrived.
