Paul Bocuse pics...

Sidenote...scroll down for pics from days 1-5 and Lyon. I just posted Lyon before this, so take a look at that first...

So, after touring Lyon for 2 days, on Sunday afternoon it was time to sail to the World Famous Chef Paul Bocuse's restaurant. As we mentioned in the post titled "Paul Bocuse" (scroll down for it), the sail to the restaurant was incredible. Here are a few pics of the sail...

Anthony and Marcus on the skydeck having the standard cocktail...



Ok, look past Kim's head and look closely at the bridge in front of us...Look how low it is..



anthonys head...




The boys...





The girls...




So now at this point (getting closer to the bridge), the crew started laying the chairs down as we barely skim under the bridge...

We literally had to get on our hands and knees as we went under the bridge. It was really something to see...

I am taking this picture crouching on the floor because if you stood up your head would be cut off...

Look how close...

Now here we are on the front of boat, looking at the bridge behind us, and guess what...the back of the boat got stuck under the bridge...they had to tear up a small piece of carpet to get the boat unstuck....it reallywas incredible...

Here, the boat is stopped dead on the river as the crew try to get it "unstuck"....

-

I just have to say that was crazy. Kim and Marcus were not there to experience that because they took off to the rooms to change for dinner before we came to the bridge. Anthony and I stayed behind to go through it, and I am glad we did. Now, the boat docked and it was time to change and board the coach to the restaurant...

The Restaurant...

Kim, Marcus, and Anthony at the table...

Ok, by now its time to take pics with the chef himself. I should say, besides Marcus and Anthony, our other dinner companions for this dinner was Kim and Dave from New York...

Kim & Dave with the Chef...

Nicole & Kim with Chef Bocuse himself...

and finally, Marcus and Anthony with the Chef...

Our table at the restaurant, and come to find out we were told our table was the most fun and the most loud table there....

Ok, so as any idiot would do as their dining at a world famous restaurant, we took a picture of each course...

Some kind of a cream soup....yum....

the best one by far, in my opinon of course, Lobster Bisque. Oh My God!!

Main course...Veal....great..

Ok, this one was the worst in both of our opinions, 3 different kinds of cheeses...we're not a fan! We can't figure what the appeal is having cheese with mold on it...YUK!!...

sweet chocolate candies....getting hungry??

Chocolate Mousse that melted in your mouth....

And finally, fresh strawberries with ice cream and whipped cream....oh my....
-

As we mentioned in the post, Marcus ordered himself and Kim (the one from New York) a port wine. Remember it costs roughly 65 Euro per glass....

Here they are posing for pics with their ports...

After dinner, outside the restaurant...

again...

Ok, so after dinner, it was time to head back to the lounge for live music and dancing and to take a few pics with our new found friends....

Marcus & Kim

again, the four of us plus kim from New York, who had a little too much "port".
