Day 9 - Paris

I always have this thinking that our 3-day stay in Paris will be very slow-paced and relaxed, and I am always so wrong. In our second last day in Paris, we took an early train to Fontainebleau and visited the famous Chateau Fontainebleau, which was used by several French kings, including Napoleon. Mom said her legs nearly broke from all the walking around the salons. I totally agreed. But still the Chateau is beautiful. It was worth the 40-mins ride from Paris (and of course, the flea market at the place where the bus stopped was also worth it cos Mom bought over 40 Euros worth of accessories.)

We went to LV at Champs Elysee when we return to Paris but unfortunately, they ran out of the neverfull MM bag that Paulyn wanted. So we went back to the hotel to pull down our bags and came out again. This time to the Louvre. Got distracted (like always) by the amusement park in the Jardin des Tuileries. This gigantic machine really got us laughing like crazy, because whoever ventures in were made to go through a series of challenges that sometimes can get you trapped in the most embarrassing positions. Check out these three girls, who came giggling and screaming out at the same time. Confetti was flying everywhere in celebration of their triumphant exit.
Weird enough, our last dinner in Paris was spent eating Spanish food. The staff was super friendly and the food was quite yummy. But oh, the beer was superb!! It's called... cruzcampo? Must remind myself to drink that the next time I eat Spanish food... or if I go Spain. :)


It has been a wonderful, fantastic, marvellous, awesome and enlightening trip. Giving much thanks, and hoping that I will be back again soon. :)
