early train to paris, walked alot lor..tens of kms. pantheon and de louvre on the first day. first was damn nice...but still dun understand how the pendulum thing works. how does it tell the time? was amazed that de louvre actually houses so many famous works. but only all original la...the maze-like building damn big...spent most of the time figuring out the plan and how to walk ard lor...so confusing.then was closing time liao..so well we'll come again tmr with the leeds pple. so sad they not meeting us for dinner le..so me and edel continued walking to see the royal and grand palace. saw the night view of eiffel from afar..nice..the orange view and the blinking one..so niceee..super tired lor..wat a long walk back. me and edel deserved a pat...high endurance level. haha..yea couldnt slp at all..nauseous thru out the night.the room just kept spinning. vomitted. edel also nauseous thruout the night...damn xin ku.
met up with the rest at notre dame the next day..raining. nicola din join us..she vomited too..omg..really mass food poisoning lor. the cathedral is really nice..saw 2 services..haha we tried to sing with them in french lor...so cheem..next to de louvre..the queue is super duper long. much worse than the day be4...
everyone was super tired..no strength to walk at all...so they rested at the roman antiques section. bel and i just went ahead in search of the "treasures". i waited for her while she went to see the moat which i've seen then she never appear liao...kk 15 min left be4 gg back the roman section. so i hurried off to look for the turkish bath and gnome with a snail...cant find the former at all lor...then i asked the lady who told me tat it's in another exhibition now, need a separate tix in...arghhh..waste my time and leg power. the latter was not outstanding among the rest too..a small one in the display cabinet not like mona lisa like one centre wall with barricade ard it. but well....no time for the rest liao..
went to see the arc be4 gg to the eiffel tower. then at the eiffel place, we decided it's too early to catch both day and night view so went to the opera house instead. just take pics outside. back to eiffel..had fun finding all the good angles for photos..haha..super sad that the top level was closed...then fred and edel was deciding whether to go up or not..i cfm not gg la..11 eur for the top. 7.7 eur for the 2nd level.. if go must go all the way wat...go half way might as well dun go. well we're just gg to wait ard till dark...take more photos haha...then suddenly super windy and sand flying everywhere ...those who contacts damn farnie lor..haha..keep covering their eyes....captured a candid shot on that..so cute. yay!!! go back to the tix office...the top level opened!! of cos go liao la...in paris le leh..haha
