I've changed my blog skin. Finally something I feel more comfortable with, after my old skin got corrupted. Blogger now has some pretty cool new background and it is a very big improvement from the previous boring ones that I get to choose from.
Anyway for Paris, we also went with the 1 day sightseeing and 1 day shopping plan. I seriously have problems remembering all the names of the places of interest besides those common ones like Eiffel Tower hahah. But I must say I am very impressed by all the structures in Europe as I can see all the effort put into building all the buildings that we have visited.
The Metro in Paris
The Louvre
The walls inside is amazing. Even the ceilings are painted/carved out so magnificantly. I can't imagine how long it takes for everything to be done.
We got to see to see the Mona Lisa painting
And Venus de Milo
I also got Der to do some poses haha
Notre Dame.
Inside the Notre Dame. There was a mass going on when we were there.
The Arch
Sights along the way...
We also had our first gelato in Paris
And our first meal in a restaurant :)
Everyone's meal has a slight problem but we all had a good meal as well as a good laugh. Firstly, Bryan thought his meal came with a glass of wine. Apparently, the waiter was explaining to us that wine was used to cook one of the sauces in his starter below. We waiting till almost dessert and realized there was no wine coming.. haha. Seriously, we couldn't taste any wine in the starter.
Next was der's main course. Looks good huh?
He was surprised when the waiter asked how he wants his duck to be cooked. After a few moment, he replied WELL DONE! However, the duck came medium! hahah It was a little too bloody for him.
Then it was Lisa. Her main course was fish. There were so many bones in it by the time she reached the 3rd piece of fish, she gave up. She was too tired to eat anymore.
That's me and my escargots. I had no strength to use the clippers given (Pardon me but I have no idea what's the correct name for it). I secretly used my hands to hold the escargots up instead.
Alas, it was my dessert. We were all fascinated when the waiter came with a flame to light it up. It was because it has a very strong liquor on it, I almost choked when I had my first mouth. That was all for my dessert. Only Bryan the alcoholic finished it up.
All of our desserts.
Day 2 was shopping day! The famous shopping street.
We spotted LV. One building dedicated to it. How cool...
Rows of straight trees again
Der and I have such sweet tooth, we couldn't resist buying something from the pastry shops that we walk past.
The must go mall in Paris, Lafayette.
The view inside from top down is magnificant. *Traveling Tip* Actually the mall beside Lafayette sells exactly the same thing and there was less crowd. So one can browse at their own pace. Lafayette is more for people who knows exactly what they want. Not a place for browsing. Will definitely shop there instead the next time.
Our buys :)
Check out my new bag :) Loveee the leather. Bolso Loewe Amazona. It is about $800 cheaper over there as compared to Singapore :) :) :) Such a pity I can't get Chanel. There's a limit to how much I can spend. No offense to the China people over there. But they were buying as if everything was free! Super envious....
To complete our Paris trip, we headed to the Eiffel Tower.
It gave me the chills when I looked up from the base of the Tower. I can't imagine the person who has to be up there building that thing.
Waiting for the lift to bring us up.
The view from the top wasn't that scary though. It just reminds me of Hongkong the Peak.
Day 3 was basically chilling around before heading to Rome via the overnight train.
haha yes we went to Moulin Rouge in the day. Just to view the place. No action in the day.
Off to Rome next!
