Today we took a tour out to Giverny to visit the famous Monets Garden.
We met up with a tour group at the train station and travelled to Vernon where we stopped to get a pinic lunch in a lovely little market square. While we there we found a beautiful old church and a building that turned out to be the oldest building in town.
After this we collected pushbikes and headed to a lovely park to eat our lunch. There our guide told about Monet's life. He was a very charming young italian man....the men in Europe are very handsome (well, the younger ones at least).
We had a really easy ride to the garden and when we got to the Monet's water garden it was magnificent. It didn't matter where you took a photo from, it was beautiful. The only downside is that nearly every shot has strange people in it.
We also got to go through Monet's house but there were far to many to enjoy it. Our ride back to the train was a breeze and we made the return train easily.
We got back to our new hotel that was booked by the river cruise company. Back to nice accommodation but there is no way I would pay the price they ask if I was booking it.
