Paris and back

Tue Aug 4, 2009, 7:08 AM
So, exactly what the title says, in the past 5 days, I have been to Paris for my summer holiday :D I have a lot to say for once. So it begins:

In all I took 350 photos, however I will only put a select few on my journal, (when I can have the SD card).

Going was fine, although I kept on thinking I had left something (luckily I hadn't). We flew for one hour and landed, then we went through to arrivals for our passports to be checked, That took an hour because there were alot of people and only 3 people checking our passports, but we got through and got our luggage. We left and got on a bus that would take us to Opera. We got off and headed towards the hotel, not knowing how vast Paris was, it took us 3 hours to walk to the hotel, anyway we found it. That was day one.

Day 2 was a better day because we had slept, after not sleeping for 36 hours lol. We went to the tallest office building in France and went onto the terrace so we could see the whole of Paris, kind of. Then we went on a boat trip on the Seine and saw the Notre Dame. After the boat trip we went inside the Notre Dame, the stain glassed windows are beautiful. Then we went to an art mueseum called the D'orsy. After this we went into the Louvre, and wow, the glass pyramid is like wow, I always thought it was on the roof however to get into the louvre you go in the glass pyramid, and down some escalators, but the escalators weren't working so we went down a spiral staircase. In there, we saw the Mona Lisa. :D That ended day 2

Day 3, we went to versailles and saw it's hall of mirrors. The entrance to versailles is breathtaking, we didn't go in the gardens because we were going to some in the center of Paris, but from the windows they looked awesome. After versailles we went to the eiffel tower. It is massive, I was kinda scared to walk under it. We didn't go up the tower due to the sheer size of the queues. After staring at it we walked on the other side and up past some fountains, climbed some steps and stared at the tower some more, lol.

Day 4 was more relaxing, we went to jardin du luxembourg and walked down the Champs-Élysées, which was brilliant, after this we went to the arc de triomphe. There are about 280 steps and coming down was the worst, lol I git so dizzy.

Day 5 was the day we came home, in the morning we went to a place called sacre coeur, a church, it was quite stunning, I liked the lighting of it. Then we made our way to the airport and waited a couple of hours to check in. After this we went into the departure lounge, I got stopped and searched but I guess they are just doing their job. We waited to board, but the plane never came, we were supposed to leave at 20:40 but instead left at 22:00, which wasn't as bad as the 7 hour delay last year but I had nearly finished my book and I put my DS in the case, lol sods law. However I like airports so I'm not complaining, instead it was worth the wait because I have alwasy waned to fly when it was dark, and by chance it got dark very suddenly, we left france and it was sunset, the streetlights were just coming on, we took off and the cabin lights dimmed, the n came back on as we leveled out. We were over the english channel in no time. I was watching out of the window as we came to the coastline of Britain trying to see if I could see the white cliffs of Dover :rofl:. I wasked if we were going to fly over London but got no reply (I love London). Then out the blue, I saw the Thames and the O2 arena, all the lights of London were on and I was so happy. :D I had flown at night lol. We arrived after what seemed to be the longest descent ever. :giggle:
