arrived back into Genoa in the morning. was already packed, so was just a matter of leaving according to my deck. said goodbye to the ship, and after eventually locating my luggage, grabbed a taxi and headed back to the airport. flew into Paris, arriving late afternoon. taxied into the city to the Hilton Arc de Triomphe, where i received an upgraded suite, and probably one of the nicest rooms in the hotel and possibly the city as a whole. view of the Arc outside of the window, multiple rooms, and a fesh bouquet of flowers delivered after arrival. hard to beat my room at the Rome Cavalieri Hilton, but i think they did it. dinner at the Buddha Bar, then took a nice long walk along the Champs-Élysées. is a shame that i will need to leave this beautiful city in the morning.
