Campanile Chantilly Sud - Luzarches Īle-de-France

... they are so huge that it takes an hour to walk from one end of the garden to the other. We decided not to tour the gardens as we were pretty tired so we caught the train back to Paris.

As it was still pretty early afternoon, I decided that maybe we should visit the Musee de l’Orangerie which has some works of Impressionist artists. Tara had wanted to see some real Picasso but had missed out and the Musee ...

Arrived into Paris Gard de Nord Station at 10.25pm (Paris time) and we spent the next 20 minutes how we are going to get to our Hotel, Mum got some money out and my card said is was at it limit. Then after looking at the metro (which I had never travelled) we decided to Taxi to the hotel, we lined up and waiting for 25 minutes in a busy Taxi rank. It took only 10 minute to get from ...

... tasted, but gave us a great excuse to play amy winehands (if you dunno how to play it's probebly best not to ask). The result wasn't great, but highly amusing. To cut a long story short: Party, Guards, Two damaged feet (neither mine fortunatley :P) In the morning, after a staple diet of yet more cheese, ham and bread (although all three of those ingredients greatly imporved when we got to france) we were ready to go exploring. We ...

... est une ville magmifique, plein de charme et nous avons trouve les francais tres sympathiques (bien qu un peu cruiseur...) et, en passant, il n y a pas de caca de chien du tout dans les rues!!! Nous adorons notre voyage bien que nos pieds nous fassent souffrir et que l on soient fatiguees. Quelques anecdotes: le cafe c est pas du pipi de chat selon Marie (les filles s ont bien decourages que du cafe filtre ca n existe pas en France!), tout est ...

... under world herritage. Can saw local person pick a book just sit under the sun and read book, sit beside the river. In Malaysia, no way can saw this, as local weather will burn the person who sit under great sun. And the weather here is just right, just like under the air condition room. Another great experience is on the self explore trip to Lourve museum, as the class pyramid I do want to see in my own eye. Once reach there ...

... Chico's is a classy joint but that may be taking it a bit far! The Louvre was amazing but we didn't do it justice...we only had 3 hours the morning of leaving the apartment to see it as it closed on Tuesday's...the whole day we had put aside to do it...unfortunately the lady from our apartment who is like our concierge told us it closed Mondays not Tuesdays, but Cam did get to see her beloved Mona Lisa. She could not believe how ...

... I walked all the way to the end of the Louvre and up a ways past the American Embassy. I'd been savoring the falafel that I talked about yesterday. I actually waited in line for 1.5 hrs (I kid you not)! I figured if the French were waiting in line they must be worth every minute of it. So I make my way VERY slowly toward the take out window. My French is a bit rusty, but it seemed to me the sign indicated you need to go ...

... the Arc de Tromphe, Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, Musee D'Orsay, Sacre Coeur, Effel Tower, Catacombes and Versailles. Effel Tower and Versailles had HUGE lines. Glad I didnt come at the peak time. I also went to see the Moulin Rouge last night which was very random but great. They fit in contortionists, showgirls, magicians, and a mime into a two hour show. My parents arrived ...

Soon, there will be loads of stuff coming to this webpage as our travels are about to take of again for the biggest trip so far. In two weeks we will be on our way to Kenya in Africa and effectively be on our way home yipeee. Meanwhile though, we went to Belgium and The Netherlands for the weekend a couple of weeks ago. We caught the Eurostar (train) which takes you under the ocean and makes you feel like your still in England by the time you get out in Brugge ...

... Just had to add that in. So frustrating because a lot of people are going to be leaving the theatre feeling a little smarter, when really they're been duped. All thats happened is you've seen a bit of the world, there is NO CONSPIRACY!! Wow feeling rantish today. What else? Went for the best cheesecake at your quintessential Parisian sweet shop which was fun. The weather was absolutely GORGEOUS. Really sunny, got a little burnt on my neck actually. And I tried sushi! Kt said it wasn ...
