We flew overnight and landed at CDG around 10am. Poppy slept for about 5 hours on the plane which is probably about as good as it gets on a roughly 7h flight. Jill and I didn’t get much sleep.
We pre-arranged our pickup and were at our Airbnb by 11:30 to drop off our luggage. We knew the timing wouldn’t quite work out and we’d have to wait a couple hours until the apartment was cleaned and ready for us.
After we dropped off our luggage we headed right to BREIZH for galettes and crêpes. I really just wanted a ham and cheese, which did not disappoint, but the other more creative options looked awesome as well. We may go back. Poppy was obviously still very tired and barely touched her chocolate crêpe, she was getting a little silly and loopy which she does when she’s tired.
We still had time to kill so we found a nearby playground and Poppy was able to enjoy herself there. We then did a little exploring and picked up some groceries for the apartment before heading back.
We all had a quick 45 minute nap (didn’t want to mess with our jet lag too much) and woke up around 4. We left again to head to another playground, which was super busy with tons of feral kids running around but again Poppy was able to have some fun.
She was clearly tired though (as were we) so we left to find some dinner around 6. None of the places we had pinned in the area were open yet so we ventured back towards our apartment and had a very regrettable dinner. Hopefully that’s the only bust of the trip. Again, Poppy was too tired to do much at dinner and we gave her her iPad just to play while we ate as much of the crap as we could.
It’s now 8:40 and both Poppy and Jill are sound asleep. I’m sure I will be before too long too. Poppy did great with the travel today but just didn’t have enough gas in the tank to be herself throughout the day. We’ll see what tomorrow holds!
