Another weekend in Paris done! :) Only this time it was with friends(Harriet, Lucy and Cesca) rather than Family. We had been planning this a few months, so have had time to chat about what we were going to do and get excited about it! :)
We set out on Friday night on an overnight Coach journey! We stopped for a while to wait for the train, we enjoyed a chill time in the playground, watched a bit of Legally Blonde then jumped back on the bus! We had some rude people in front who kept telling us to be quiet, and us being us found it quite hilarious! *ERGHHH* But after getting sucked into a shell as Cesca described it, we were in France! We arrived a few hours late, but all was ok and went straight to the Eiffel Tower. We were very lucky to have booked tickets for this, as we skipped the massive queue to get in! When we got to the front, we asked a lady at the front how long she had been waiting and she said over 2 hours, so we felt great! :) So up we climbed to the second floor and had a great view of Paris! It was a bit foggy, but was still an amazing View!
We then made our way to the Seine River Cruise via the Carousel, which was great fun! Then on the Cruise we were sat up the top. We each enjoyed a delicious Crepe and a cup of French coffee, much to the disgust of Cesca and Lucy. When we were near the end of the cruise it started to rain slightly, so everyone moved downstairs, but we decided to stay up top with our umbrellas and have the top to ourselves! :)
We then headed to the Arch de Triumph, which was very nice. Very busy roundabout, so scary! We took a walk down the Champs de Elysees which was lovely, and had a look in Sephora, make-up and beauty shop.
We then went to the Lourve, had a look around, had a quick look at the Mona Lisa which was crowded with people. We then decided it was time for Dinner, so went up to the food court in the Lourve. There were so many different interesting Cuisines to choose from, but i thought I would go for the safe option, and went for McDonalds! :)
We then headed back to the Coach station, to start the journey home! We were fortunate enough to get the front seat with a bit more legroom and the opportunity to put our legs up on the railing, although it hurt after a while. We then made our way back, stopping in a car park for nearly 3 hours to wait for the Ferry, but was able to sleep for a bit, then finally made it back on English soil!
It was a great weekend, with lots of laughter, memories and 'quotes' that I will remember for a long time!
Here are some Photos and our Video Diary of the Weekend! :) Enjoy!
This looks amazing. Maybe I should move to your city next year and you can show me the life in the UK. I was thinking of moving to new York but I think London is a little bit easier for my first big move. Haha. Glad your well.
