Cont.

After oysters Jorn took us to a fine dining establishment that served "California cuisine." Delicious steak, potatoes, cab sauv and dessert. We slept well that night.
The next day we awoke rather late and went to a restaurant that served buttery delectable croissant, bowls of latte and Asian inspired panini. Never mind the chocolate croissant. A brief 5 minute walk and we enjoyed some ice cream. So decadent! We went back to Nicole's so we could pack for our evening/ night trip to Taunus Therme in Bad Homburg. We arrived at 7:30 to a large indoor/outdoor spa, jacuzzi, sauna and pools place designed to remind one of the Orient. There we swam, sweat, salt scrubbed and relaxed. We left at 11pm. (When they closed.) Again- we slept well. The next day was eating brunch and shopping for dinner and miscellaneous items for Greece.
I will fast forward you all to dinner. Fresh, homemade pasta in a lemon cream sauce with shrimp and tender asparagus. This is what happens when foodies vacation together.
What happened next was an accident. We had white wine with dinner but then decided to sample some grappa which turned into sampling Croatian plum brandy which turned into drinking it all and deciding that we didn't have enough time to sleep as we still needed to pack. Our flight left in less than two hours.
Nicole then failed to herd me out the door in time so we had to take a taxi. The airport greeted us- half drunk, half tired.
The layover in Paris was tedious to say the least and all I can say it that we somehow survived.
Please be patient with the delay in photo posting as it is only available in some locations. I will do my best to catch up with where we are now but forgive the lag and blame it on the alcohol.
