I've been so lazy to update it as there were tons of pictures!!I 'll just randomly upload some here since its already in fb.
We reached Charles de Gaulle airport at noon and took the the RER to Champ The Mars station where the Eiffel Tower and Pullman hotel was.
Checked in, bathed, rested and took a long long walk to an authentic French restaurant with our maps, ipod maps and our Paris book guide that Ken bought for 10 pounds. Believe it or not, the book was extremely useful. There were tips on where to visit first to avoid the crowd, best restaurant in the city,shopping guide, basic translation at the back of the book and mini tips going round the city. Worth every pound!
We reached the restaurant after almost 1 hour walk for this old and tiny authentic restaurant. It was packed till ppl had to sit next to each other and tables were only about 10cm from the next! Everyone was so awkward as you can actually hear each other's conversation. Thank goodness we got didnt have to go though tht!!Plus....the menu was in French!!! which we had to do our own translation from the book and ipod one by one!!
So hilarious..
I only remembered Poisson is fish from my French class few yrs back!!yummy fish!! soo french!!
The duck was awesome!
Believe it or not, I was quite disappointed when i first saw the Eiffel Tower while we were walking to the hotel!! First thing i asked him was.....'why is it so short???' It looks rather tall when i used to see it in pictures.
But as we went closer, it was not that short la!!!
Perfect view of the tower at night. Amazing!!
After dinner we rented the bikes and cycle all the way back to the Eiffel Tower!The bicycle lanes were on the road itself which was really scary cause it has been a long time since i've cycled. And now it was on the road at night! All i hear from ken behind me was ''move in, move in, move in!!" ahaha...I was practically going out of control to the right and left. plus, the bike was heavy and not easy at all!!
It was all good at first until we had several problems with the bikes! And recently The stupid Velib bike management thought we stole their bike and charge 90 pounds on ken's credit card! assholes!!
We tried calling them and they dont speak any english! And my generous boyfren dont intend to get back the money...-_-'' Asked me to email them if i want to. babi!! If in all cases I successfully get the money back then its gonna be mine!!wohoo...I dont care!
Beautiful view from the top of the tower.
All the way up!! scary even though it was at night. I cant imagine if we were to go up there during the noon!
It was freezing cold!! and look what was i wearing??
hohoho..and guess what?? there were toilets up there!!
The tower was filled with lovely mushy couples hugging and kissing each other!! Trust me, its the Paris air....now i understand why they call it the most romantic city in the world! The city of love!! If you are looking for a romantic gateway, Paris is a must!! but if you dont have a boyfriend or girlfriend, its okay...there are plenty of hoty French men in suits and leather jackets and sexy women in Paris!

On the second day we bought the 2 days museum pass for 30 pounds each. They were hundreds of museum in Paris, therefore we can only afford to visit the top few ones. Our first stop, Musee d 'Orsay
99.99% of the paintings were naked people...
I found this really interesting
Ken buying crepe. The lady thought us how to pronounce egg in French. The people here are rather friendly i must say.
Our second stop....believe it or not i forgot what is the name of this museum..Nothing really significant other than headless and bodiless structures
The Notre Dame was extremely crowded
Spectacular view from the top after the torturing spiral staircase which took forever to reach up there! Feels like walking up to heaven! aha. 69 meters and 400 steps!!!
Ding dong bell which is rang every half an hour. The Quasimodo.
This full glory of Gothic architecture building took almost 200 yrs to complete.
At the east side of the tower, 4 groups of three apostles, alongside with the depictions of the evangelists.
View of the Eiffel Tower and River Seine
View of the river Seine
The Arc de Triomphe on the 3rd day
Beautiful Architecture
Spiral staircase again!! -_-'' and there was a few Japanese ladies in front of us, and 1 of them was wearing a kimono with buns, stockings and the wood platform slippers!! Imagine the speed by going up with those...
Inside the tower. Do you know that every engravings of the building has a story behind?
Who will not love the city of Paris??!! rite you tell me?? ahhh
It was a sunny and hot on that day
I adore Paris!!
Ken was complaining that i took too many pictures of the buildings and museums . And when he saw this, he was so hyped up and made me take tons of pictures.
A must for baguette when you come to Paris
ahhhh... pastries!!
The que was super long!!and the baguette we bought cost only about 1.20!!
It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Even someone like above who does not fancy bread would love it!! hahaha
The Musee du Louvre was humongous!
We just made our way in there to see MonaLisa. Our legs were aching and we were already sick of paintings and sculptures on the by the 3rd day.
Everyone was trying to get a picture of the oh so famous painting. To me its scary as her eyes are always looking at you whichever position you are to stand.
After 3 days of boring, serious and quiet visits. On our final day, we couldn't wait to hear the noise and feel the fun of joyous families and children in the Magical Kingdom!
The entrance fee cost us 102 euro for 2 tickets!! So exp...
To met Donald Duck!! ahaha
Picture was taken on the space mountain ride
At dawn, we took the eurostar straight from the park to CDG airport which took only 10 mins!woops* Bye Paris love!
PS : Looking at this picture reminds me of the tragic incident of Air France flight 447 = 'c
