After only a few hours of sleep we were up and bound for Paris. As excited as I was, I really didn’t want to leave London. The city stole my heart. Good thing I already had everything booked forcing me to stick to the plan. The train ride was extremely fast, only a bit over 2 hours long. We had a couple silly mishaps trying to find how to get our hotel. No where near as simple as London. Eddie and his bag got stuck going through the gate to get onto the metro. He wasn’t happy, but I couldn’t stop laughing. It was beyond hilarious trying to ask people for help, no one around us spoke any English. Eventually someone came to our rescue, and we managed to get to our hotel all in one piece.
Our hotel was only 20 minutes walking distance from The Louvre so we trekked it on foot. Paris is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Everything is beautiful, even something as simple as the cobble stone sidewalks. The Louvre physically took my breath away. We got there too late to go inside. Bummer! Just the outside was mind blowing enough! You could see the Eiffel Tower from the front of The Louvre so it made it easy to figure out where to go to next. The sunset made the most gorgeous backdrop behind all of the scenery. We stumbled upon a ferris wheel and the Arc de Triomphe on our way. It’s hard for my mind to wrap itself around all of the history in this city. America seems so boring in comparison!
Some of my favorite things were all of the trees, and their contrast against the sunset. Gorgeous!
We finally made it to the Eiffel Tower after walking forever. Nearly froze to death after waiting to go up to the 2nd level, it was completely worth it though. Definitely the most beautiful city I’ve ever seen. Amsterdam has a tough act to follow. As exhausted as I was physically, I didn’t go to sleep until at least 5:30am. This restlessness is going to kill me by the end of the trip.
