We got up early, had breakfast from the supermarket and bought a metro to head into Paris. We dandered about for a while and found some pretty place- no idea what it was but there was a giant monument of a big face so we continued to take our pictures with this giant face while some french woman was becoming impatient and irratated and took a physco...ha!
We were trying to look for the louvre but instead found a shopping centre called 'porte du louvre' which we did think was the entrance to the louvre, apparently not!
We stumbled across the Notre dam but the que was huge so we decided we would admire it from the outside, and then went for lunch! We spent the day walking along the Sienne and around the Latin quarter which was very pretty!
We then headed to the train station to book our next train to Rome for tomorrow. We asked for our tickets when the ticket man informed us that the train to Rome was fully booked, this was a bit of a disaster at the time as we had a set route...so we continued to ask him for other trains to say Venice or other locations that we could take a detour too then get back onto route...but he politely told us that all the trains were fully booked!! 'Well you must have something...anything??' after long minutes of checking his computer he told us there was a train to Munich....'MUNICH!?!?!? ....really?' so we thought right stuff it off to Munich it is!
We booked the train and bought a bottle of wine on the way home to celebrate/commiserate our new direction! Although we were excited about going off route!
Wine tasted like vinegar...shocking for 2Euros! GUTTED! needless to say we still drank it! Sadly, I fell asleep while Sara and Leanne got drunk haha!
We had another repulsive Mcdonalds for dinner and then got the metro to the 'Arc De Triumph' but we got harrased by men at the metro, it was disgusting! We must have stood out like complete tourists, shook us up a bit but carried on!
We took pictures at the Arc de Triump then walked along the Champs E'elyse, which was amazing (Car dealers on the street!?!) We then went to the Eiffel Tower which was very busy but we met some guys from Bangor! and briefly chatted! Don't you love being in France and hearing a BROAD Norn Irish accent beside you haha!
We qued for an hour to goto the 2nd floor of the Eiffel tower, it was amazing!!!
We then went home very tired to bed!
