The bus trip was to Paris was shit as I had a mega toothache, and wanted to rip my tooth out with my bare hands. Played a little 'getting to know you' game on the bus, but I think everyone was too tired to care really.
Got to Paris in the early evening, checked into our hotel, which can I just say, I had the BEST shower in over a year - no need to wear your thongs in the mercure!!!
Eiffel Tower the first night, so nice to go up the top at night as I had done it in the day last time.
arc de triomphe
The next day was a big day of walking. First stop was the Arc de Triomphe, which we went up the top of. Absolutely amazing view of Paris! I took lots of photos for you all to see.
Then we walked down the Champs Elysee, had a drink for Papa, and I looked through the Louis Vuitton shop. I felt too poor to even breathe in there, but who cares!!
Kept walking down through the Place de la Concorde, and onto the Musee du Louvre. It was pretty busy - bloody tourists - so we did a quick in and out jobby. Say the Headless angel (I don't know th real name, ask me later), then went and saw Mona Lisa. Now, yes it's only a painting, but really it's not. Small, but there really is something about her.
Also quickly went and saw the Venus Di Milo. Got some pics of the statues, but not Mona.
After the Louvre we went to Notre Dame Cathedral. I lit a candle and wrote in the prayer book - dedicated it all to my family back home. The candle I did for me and for my beautiful God daughter Evie
headless angel
.After Notre Dame we headed back to the hotel as Rach was going to Moulin Rouge with the group that night. Me and another girl didn't go (I had a lack of funds) so we went for dinner and then had some dirnks back at the hotel in our rooms.
Paris was again just brilliant!! I can't wait to go back again for my birthday in May with my parents. I will def do the Moulin Rouge then.
Luv you all, and keep your eye out for more entries from our tour of Europe!!
