Another Journey By Train

I dreaded the idea of leaving Amsterdam.  More for the fact that I knew there were only 2 1/2 days left of my trip than leaving the actual city.  Our trek through the slosh was much easier than the day before.  The train ride back to Paris was gorgeous.  It went through Belgium almost the entire way.  Note to self: Plan a trip to Brussels at some point.  I managed to snap a few photos of Brussels from the train windows.  Such an awesome looking city!






Finding our way to our hotel wasn't as easy as I would have liked to be.  I need to spend more time routing out ways to get around next time I go to a foreign country.  After some help from people in the train station we were set on the right metro towards Bailly Romainvilliers  (Pronunciation in French sounds amazing, although almost anything in french sounds enchanting.)  We opted getting a hotel a half hour outside of Paris near Disneyland Paris.  To our surprise, the Marriott there consists of little houses that form a vacation resort in the middle of a golf course.  Our villa was a two story, two bedroom house.  Needless to say, I fell in love with it.










After repeated days of walking around a lot both Eddie and I were pretty exhausted.  We both agreed on a night in, after all our little villa was worth spending time in.  We bought a bunch of food from the little market in the resort area.  I made dinner, did my laundry, and took a hot bath.  How domestic of me!  It was nice to finally get out of the cold for more than a couple of hours, and let my limbs defrost completely.
