Day 5-Paris!

PARIS, that is about all I have to say! Just kidding! I have loads to say about our Paris adventure, so let’s set the stage.  After a sleep filled previous day, therefore no sleep after last night’s Les Mis, and a schedule starting at 3:30 am one could easily assume we were headed for disaster.  No way we say! We did not miss a beat after the previous days…miss steps.  We got on all the right buses (first time riding the bus in London) to get to the train station, we got on our train with minutes to spare, then it was time for some well earned shut eye, 2 hrs and 45 mins worth to be exact. PARIS! We meet at last! The architecture alone is worth a trip; the Eiffel Tower was such a sight to see! Words cannot describe how breath taking everything in Paris was! After we got off the train we started on our way to that iconic monument when our stomachs gave us a lovely wake-up call, as well as our bladders! So it was definitely time to find a café, which we did with no problem! The wonderful waiter gave us passes to the bathroom without knowing that we intended to stay and eat, so kind! We got some coffee and hot cocoa and a great window seat, though we had intended on eating, nobody ever brought us a menu sooo that went out the window.  After hitting the road yet again for that icon in the sky we decided to get a cab and save our poor feet.  There she was more intricate then I could have possibly thought; beautiful! Then it was time for a little shopping and some real lunch time breakfast! We found a quaint little shop where we got some authentic crepes, that were ironically not as good as the ones we had in London, after which it was time to find a bus tour! Which we found along with an amusing gentleman that was hitting on me the entire time we chatted with him about the details of the tour, we were short on Euros at that point but the nice gentlemen allowed us to pay in Pounds then giving us back a ten in Euros for change when it should have only been two! How nice, and yet still slightly creepy! After the tour we headed back to the train station thanks to another taxi and got ourselves each a drink for the ride back, then it was through customs and we were on our way back to lovely and loving London.  Which I will end this entry with by saying I do indeed love London better! Especially those musicals!! Spectacular!!
