Hotel Terminus Orleans Paris

OK, we got back early tonight (~8:30) so we will try and get both yesterday's and today's blog in now.

We began with a scheduled 7:15am wake up call at the Disney Hotel. "Wait, no wake up call? D'oh!!! WTF???? They forgot to wake us up? What time is it? 9:30am?!?!?!? WTF???? Let's go!"

Since we realized we had just lost 2 hours in Paris (but gained 2 hours of much needed sleep), we had to move pretty fast to get out there. We were on the shuttle by 10:10am and got to the train s...

Today we visited the Chateau de Versailles. Many of you will think, "Oh a Chateau, how cute". Nope, you are wrong. This place should have its own zip code. It really is absurd. It is a prime example of how three kings over 200 years compete to spend the most money. The benefit? We got to visit one amazing freaking place and the great great grandchildren of the poor townsfolk who paid for all of this in taxes are probably still buried in debt.

So, we started off with a stroll across th...

We ate our breakfast here and found out why French people can eat so much of this stuff and stay thin. They were jogging everywhere in these gardens.

Phew we finally made it to the hotel. Its been a long day. Started out with a yummy breakfast at Seoul, then a long long plane flight to Paris arriving around 7 pm. We then found our way to the train station and caught the RER to the city then the metro to the hotel. I've had to use my French twice which was nerve wracking considering I've only been learning for a couple
of months but I managed and was understood which was very cool. You could see they got a bit of a laugh b...

morning - OK, I take back my previous comments about no horns. We woke up this morning and it has been a constant buzz of horns, whistles (from the traffic cops) and sirens. Crazy driving - not for the light hearted at all. The people walking around are still very relaxed, just the driving that is chaotic.

This morning we tried a different cafe for breakfast - a crepe cafe. No English here, lots of French people eating so probably good food (ie not tourist food). It was beautiful. We ...
