The Five Paris

Today we walked to Notre Dame Cathedral from our hotel, Notre Dame has these stone creatures called Gargoyles, they are used to protect the cathedral and fight away bad spirits, also on the inside it was dark and the roofs were so high, and all painted and colourful. On the outside it was stone and all around the outside there were gates. We had lunch early today. When we got home from our long walk, our feet were aching and we nearly fell asleep before we had dinner.

Today we went to DisneyLand Paris, the firth ride we went on was Space Mountain, it was an indoor rollercoaster, after it my brother and my Mum felt sick and didn't want to go on anymore rollercoasters. My brother, Alex and I then went on a car ride called autopia that we had to wait 75 minutes for. We had lunch, then Dad and I went on another rollercoaster called Big Thunder Mountain.

Today we tried to go to the Eiffel Tower, but the line was too long, so we decided to go to Sacre Coure, a church on top of a hill. To get to the top of the hill, you either have to catch a train or walk up the steps, we caught the train up but walked down.

Today it was raining, so we couldn't do much. My Dad and I went to Pompidou Center of Modern Art while Mum and Alex went to Gallaries Lafayette (a department store in Paris), in Pompidou there was two special exhibits one on Alexander Calder and the other on Kandinski. In the art gallery there was many paintings but it was considered a small collection, some of the pieces of art were just boxes painted with different colours. We then finished with Pompidou and went to meet Alex and Mum in Gal...

Today we went to the Louvre Museum but it is shut on tuesdays so we walked to the Eiffel Tower but again the line was to long, we got an ice cream and by the time we had finished walking around the shops it was dinner time.

Today we're catching the train to Rome, we caught a taxi this morning and got on our train, we got a sleeper because the train trip is overnight and 15 hours long. We did nothing other than this.
