Jun 29, 2008 - Chàteu de Versailles

Then we started walking through the gardens.Day 86. Paris and Versailles, France. ... We crawled out of bed to catch a train to Versailles this morning. ...

The wind nearly took our umbrellas away, and needless to say the umbrellas did not help much with keeping us dry.We sort of got off to a rough start on day 6.
