[Paris]

Paris (8 to 9th June)


so after london, we caught an early Eurostar out to Paris

insanely early timing
all because the tickets were cheaper
and we needed more time in paris!


after checking in at our hostel, we headed out again
so as to catch the PARIS FREE TOUR!

while waiting, we decided to grab some crepes for lunch

it was nice and humongous! I LIKE I LIKE!
it cost like 4eur though :( haiz



Photobucket
so we started off with the free tour at 11am

paris is a tad TOO BIG for free walking tours
we dropped out of it subsequently...
it was really too tiring!

some sights around the tour
didn't really take much


so after we dropped out of the tour, we headed for THE LOUVRE!

9 eur just to see mona lisa
what a hefty price to pay
because i don't get the other art anyway
they basically look the same
or are too abstract to understand


Photobucket

and the mona lisa was THIS small


Photobucket
Photobucket
totally not artistic people, not knowing what to do in the Louvre
end up taking photos of ourselves in the mirror


Photobucket
Photobucket
walked all the way to the arch de triumph (i think i spelt wrongly)
which was SUPER DUPER far away!
it seemed like it was near, because it was huge
but when you really see it, it is MEGA HUGE!



Photobucket
and then we went to the eiffel tower
which looks simply HORRIBLE at night!


Photobucket
Photobucket
dinner was at this cheap chinese food place near our hostel
it was really nice! the fish especially!
it was so value for money that we went there to eat 3 times!



after all the boring daylight pictures of the louvre and the eiffel tower,
here are the NIGHT SCENE pictures, which looks SO MUCH BETTER!

it was quite late at that time already
so we rushed all the way to the eiffel tower, because we can't miss the last train back to our hostel!
