Last Day :'(

Our final day in Europe :(
We started the day off in Trier where we walked around the walkplatz and did a little bit of shopping. The weather was not very cooperative again today. It seems like it has either been 100 degrees or crappy and rainy- no happy medium! We stopped and had some gyros for lunch- the first chicken we have had in almost 2 weeks!

our crappy weather :(

We were just heading to go check out a palace and church when it started to rain, so we decided rather then get soaked we should probably get on our way to Saarbrucken to drop off our rental car. The car had to be returned by 5. We left Trier around 2. Thank goodness we left early because the traffic at the train station was crazy! It took us almost an hour just to get through the city! We returned our car with about a half hour to spare! We had the man in charge call us a cab to take us back to the train station but the cab driver refused to take us saying the traffic was too bad. Instead we took a subway up to the train station. Thank goodness there was another man in the Hertz rental car who was also taking the subway and helped us out or we would probably still be in Saarbrucken!

So, we made it to the train station, where we had a 3 hour wait until our train. Mom went outside the station to take a picture of it and discovered that there was a nice little walkplatz and a huge mall less then a block away. This is after we had been sitting in the station for about an hour and a half..... So we went and shopped and at our last gelato!

Then it was time to head back in and catch our train! But, we did have some time to get some quick chinese which was very good!
Our train left at 9 and got into Paris around 11. We took a cab to our hotel and crashed for the night. Our flight left the next morning at 11.
We got to the airport the next morning and we were waiting in line to check our bags and the guy next to us in line looked just like Johnny Depp so naturally we had to take a picture.
While we waited for our flight ot board we found one last macaroon shop. I got raspberry and mint the mint was my all time favorite!Mom got salted caramel and lemon.

We made both of our flights this time- with no delays! We were in quite a rush to make our connecting flight to Windsor, but thankfully we made it on time!
Now we are home sweet home trying to readjust our sleep schedules!
