I have had the most amazing day today! I woke up to a beautiful red rose from Simon this morning! Something I will never forget :) This morning we caught the metro in to town to start our day with a picnic under the Eiffel tower! The first glimpse we had of the Eiffel tower was beautiful! The train station before Champ De Mars a man with an accordion hoped on the train and as we moved to the next stop he played what a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong! It was ...

We got up nice and early this morning to venture to Paris! The outskirts of Brussels is disgusting - you can literally see puddles of wee in the metro and it smells so bad! We have finally left the cloud, rain and cold! Paris has the most amazing weather! I had absolutely no expectations for Paris because all reports were it's disgusting, dirty and people are rude! I absolutely love Paris! It's in my top 5! Everywhere we've been is clean, people have been very fr...

It's 10 o'clock at night and I'm sitting on a bus on my way to Budapest! We're on it until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning! The only upside is we're not wasting anytime traveling in the day and don't have to pay for accommodation!! I'm lucky I have simon beside me to snuggle with - that'll get me through! I'm feeling much better today - I haven't been home sick yet :) today we predominantly spent our time organising! Doing our washing, giving our car back and lookin...

We booked a tour of the Kronenberg brewery, but prior to that we had a little picnic by the canal and had some Brie and wine - the tradition wine of Alsace! We ended up a little drunk after our wine and went in to the centre and got a drawing done! Our drawings took so long we only had about 10minutes to make our way to Cronenberg, so we decided not...

Today hasn't been the best of days. I'm feeling pretty home sick and down. We drove to Strasbourg today. It's a really nice place - looking forward to exploring it in the next few days! I tried to go out tonight and do a bar crawl, but I got too upset and ended up coming home. Simon, Kate and Henry stayed out drinking, but Erin was kind enough to come home with me and cheer me up. Let's hope tomorrow I feel much better...
