upon arrivin in paris we had our first experience wit the tube ..well me chris n mums cousin richard were first timers.. mum aunty janette n uncle robert had done it b4... my god di u have to b fast get off fast n it went fast.. nuthin liek our trains where if u saw it goin to the staion u could run n get it.. na na not there... but they cum so often durin the day if u miss one another arrives in bout 2mins... its a tad confusin b ut u get the knack of it....
got to our hotel find our rooms.. me sharin wit mum n chris...in the room above us was a lead foot always stompin around i dont understand why they walked around the room so much... i thought bec was around lol... we dropped our bags n headed for the eiffel tower only richard came up wit us.. it was amazin really lookin at it... seems like u have stepped into a movie scene.. once we got down we noticed a fair few soldiers sum of them armed wit very big guns.. but apparently thats quiet normal i found it a bit scary...we then walked to the arc de triomphe...that is pretty cool its in the mi ddle of the b iggest roundabout ive seen traffic wise.. it has 8 exits n i dont know how many lanes coz they are all over the place.. i wouldnt like to b in it thats for sure.. then we walked down a street where if u had to ask the price u couldnt afford it as my unc said of it.. lol..
out first dinner experience was an intrestin one... the waiter wrote the order on the table.. n the bill on the table n b4 we had barely finished we were bein whisked out of the restruant to make room for the next ppl... was quite amazin lol i had chicken n chips while the kid on the next table was eatin snails... no thank u
next mornin we got lost on the way to the breakfast room but when finally gettin there was met by croissants n pasteries yummy
we headed out to monmatre??? where we roamed the cobled streets lookin at fantastic artists works... i saw the moulin rouge and did the can can out the front... we went to the sacre coeur the architecture of that is amazin and to the notre dame so french gothic they just dont make them like that these days
next we went to the conceirge where marie antoinette was held b4 her execution.. quite intrestin.. the richerr u were the better urcell after that mum n i were tired so wit chris we caught the tube back had a nap then went to starbucks for coffee lol... then later at night we had dinner and went n saw the eiffel tower by night n all light up n flashin at 10pm very pretty.
the next day we slept in coz chris"s alarm didnt go off.. but mum richard n i went to the louvre which i found real intrestin... lookin at the famous stuff n also wanderin round the french paintings n stuff... i had a fight with pretty much everyone later over sumthin stupid n im not at fault of course but blah i was made out to b a child when they realy were.. but itsda all over now./.. back in england... n i went n set up a bank account today what a lot of trouble that was but its done now.. neways...
