From Paris With Love

Hello people. It's been a long time. I'm finally able to get onto a computer and to do a proper post (unlike normal on the iPad, someone needs to develop a blogger app I think).

So, during the holidays I went to Paris for a week. It was the most amazing experience of my life. The BF and I stayed in this amazing hotel that was about a 20 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. We must of visited it nearly every day. Everyone had said to me that it was an amazing city, but for some reason I didn't know what to expect and to start with it didn't feel like I was away from home. That was until I got my first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.

It was such a beautiful place. We got attacked by the people who sell items under the tower a few times. Once was these guys who made bracelets and kept telling us not to worry and repeated "Hakuna Matata" over and over. The other was by a guy with a rose (pictured above).

One of the days we were there, we witnessed a photoshoot of a designer. It was definately something as not every day you get to sit between the Eiffel Tower and a photoshoot.

Such an amazing experience

Along with going to the Eiffel Tower, we did lots of the usual Pari trips - The Catacombs, Moulin Rouge, Disneyland and the Louvre. Each of these have a little funny annecdote with them so I shall share a few.

The Catacombs were amazing. I had been wanting to visit them since I was very young. It was terrifying to start with (after queueing for hours) and we had to have a torch light help us wonder through as part of the tunnels weren't open to the public due to repairs that needed doing. When we got the the skulls and stuff I was in my element and the 13yearold goth I once was came back alive. When you leave the Catacombs you have to get your back checked as people sometimes steal the bones and we got told about someone the previous day trying to steal 3 skulls and some other bones. This I thought was strange but the guy said it would be to try and sell on the black market or something.



The Louvre was a beautiful place and like every other tourist we headed straight for the Mona Lisa and was disappointed like every one else. It is such a huge hype over nothing. Anyway, we headed downstairs and I was really looking forward to a couple of the other exhibits but the BF didn't realise this and headed straight out the door not realising. Oh well, I'll just have to go back another time.

Till next time my lovelys. =)
