Up, toast and set off at 9am walking to Versailles, as soon as we started the moistness increased to drizzle, but soon dry up. Arrived at the palace gates at about 9:45, had a wander around and admired the queue length thinking it was quite long.
At about 10:15 we went to the North Ministry Building and were shown to a comfortable waiting room and given a headset to hear our guide. Mkstnother in the tour were US. Tour started well although the outside bit was cut a little short due to slightly heavier drizzle, so we bypassed all the queues and enter via a locked door, great!
The tour it self lasted 1.5 hrs and was good well worth the 10euro. When it finished we head to the hall of mirrors which was impressive and the official bed chambers as opposed to the private ones we had seen in to tour. After all that we eventually found a cafe for a mediocre cafe and Baguette Jambon. Wandered round the gardens eventually but not quite reaching the Grand Chateau Trianon, had an ice cream.
Walked back in all 16000 steps, 7.5 miles so earned a beer.
Decided to head on tomorrow had considered another day here or in Paris but weather not brilliant not bad but not pool time. So will head on down as far as we can go deciding at lunchtime where to stop over, then in Sat head to about 2 hrs from Angela so that we can have a rest before meeting up and enjoy the hot weather.
