Next morning we got up at 9.30 and Jacob was the early bird that went down and had the breakfast at the hotel. I didn’t at that time feel much hunger and waited for a moment where we could do a halt on the motorway heading for Barcelona. We checked out of the hotel and paid the bill, which was qu…

9:02am Wednesday June 30, 2004   “I am just sitting on the Eurostar waiting for it to depart Paris. In about 20 minutes I will officially be leaving Paris. I’m not sure how I feel about leaving. I will miss Paris and my adventures but I really miss home. I miss my bed and all my stuff. I…

This was the second country of our Euro Trip 2009. We were mainly in Paris. We briefly had the opportunity to see a bit of the country.

In the morning of 21, my friend and I first went out for breakfast as there was nothing at home, but the left overs of the Lebanese dishes. She suggested me to have a typical breakfast in Paris at a cafe at the places des vosges, her favorite place.  The place was really calm and nice for sunn…

I've always imagined that my first trip to Paris would be with my future husband on our honeymoon. I have pictured the two of us holding hands walking by the Eiffel Tower, saying cheesy lines to each other, marvelling at the sights, and buying crepes and croissants from every patisserie we fin…

Arriving in Paris felt surreal. Surrounded by French language, food, people and attitudes, it was everything that I had hoped it would be. I spent the first day alone, wandering the streets near our hotel and visiting little cafés in the surrounding Montparnasse neighborhood (which are more comm…

I forgot how beautiful Europe is in the summer. It's just about 10pm and the sun has barely set. I remember this happening in Geneva during the summer - the sun would set at 11pm and I thought it was the most extraordinary gift to have such lovely weather and some extra time to be outside and get t…

Yeah, so the countdown is officially on.... I'm leaving Paris. And now, it's all beginning to catch up. When I started planning this trip to France, I originally wanted to spend all of my time outside of Paris. And when in Paris, I was just thinking of day trips outside. It's of course, a differe…

Today we have another full day of touring around Paris. Luckily it started late, because we were very late getting in last night and were very tired.  Breakfast at the hotel was pretty good today, and finally we were on the bus for our morning tour, a nice around town tour of the sights of Par…

These two islands, in the middle of Paris, are very much linked with Notre Dame, as one of the Island (Ile Saint-Louis) is actually an artificial island made while building the cathedral...

A short bus ride (6hrs) and I was in Paris, one of my favorite cities, then more I come here, the more I want to move here :) I knew that I would be here only for 1 day so I just tried to enjoy as much of the city as I could, visiting places that I didn't get a chance to see when I was he…

My sister is here visiting for a few weeks. She hasn't been to Paris yet, so we went there last weekend. I've been to Paris before but that was 2 years ago and I didn't get to see everything. Camera used: Canon 350D Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 MC Zenitar 16mm fisheye

Very beautiful surprising city.
