We had to walk a pretty far way in pouring rain to get to the museum, which wasn't that interesting. Most of the displays were something like "we don't ACTUALLY know what any of this was, since it's so old, but our best guess is..." Which, ok, makes sense, but it was still sorta boring.
Since it was raining so hard, we couldn't really go and see the stones, except the ones you could see from the path between the museum and the "car park" {as they say in Britain!} We took a few photos, but they're not worth sharing honestly.
We drove the rest of the way to Heathrow and dropped off the car. Took the Tube to Kings Cross Station, saw Platform 9 3/4, from Harry Potter! {Which they have moved since the series became so popular and now it's not even on a platform, it's just out by all the shops in the train station. *sigh* And you have to wait in a huge line and pay to take a photo with it, so we just took a picture from the side instead}
The station out train was leaving from was just across the street from Kings Cross, so we got over to there and ate dinner. There was a piano by where the people got off the arriving trains, so some people were playing it to keep the people waiting for the trains to arrive entertained. First it was an old man who played jazzy instrumental songs and then it was some probably college students who played and sang songs like American Pie and Mac The Knife. They were all amazing, I took videos of them.
Our train ride was uneventful, hooray.
We arrived in Paris at 8:40 French time, took the {dirty} metro to our flat/apartment/whatever they call them in French, and unpacked and went to bed. Out the windows of each bedroom you can see the Eiffel Tower, it's amazing. The first 10 minutes of every hour at night it's lit up with sparkling lights that photos can't do justice. It's amazing really.
Here it is during the day:
