Departure to Renne

The morning started well but for the fact of the hotel lifts not working properly. One lift was stuck on the 4th floor (Mums) which meant that no request forthe lift from other floors were being accepted. 

I went up to Mums floor to see what was happening and met her in the stairwell on the way down. We headed down via the stairs to the restaurant in he basement. Breakfast was had and, with Mum's key, I headed to reception to see what was what. 

The unstuck lift was in the ground floor so I thought I'd give it a go - success! It took me to the fourth floor but if course by the time I had her suitcase back it was gone irretrievably... walk back to the lobby... lift again to the third floor (mine) for my bag. 

Walk down to lobby... lift to fourth floor, pick up Mums suitcase... down one to get mine... back to reception!

Yay!!

A cab to the Gare Montpanasse and now waiting for the train to Renne...
