Part I After leaving Cologne our next destination was the border of Germany and Belgium that was about 20 min of driving from the Cologne cathedral.
We made a stop for 20 min near Liege that wasn't so far away from the border.
Near Liege in Belgium.
Then we have continued on our Night Voyage to Paris.
------Next Day------
After 6 hours of driving I found myself finally waking up with a view on the payment points on one of the highways in France. :D that are full of cars.. I would say too much.
It was a pretty exciting moment, when after half an hour the our guide said that we're about to pass under one of the runways of the Charlles de Gaulle International Airport. I could take a pretty nice shot if I only knew that those are the runways of the airport before the speech of the guide. :P
A short stop before the turning to the direction of Paris..
Versalles...
The palace of Versalles
and Finally..... PARIS here I am!!!!
