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 friendly and helpful and everything I've seen is beautiful! We're staying in Porte D' Orleans about 10-15 minutes away from the city. When we arrived in Paris we had to take the metro to our hotel where we met Henry's friend, Max! He took us to Versailles - it was easily one of the most stunning places we've been! Everything was gold plated and there were beautiful gardens surrounding it! After a few hours the boys split and went to Max' house abs the girls and I walked through the town of Versailles and we took the Metro to Notre Dame - to be completely honest I've seen so many churches over the past month that I wasn't really fussed and I found the Notre Dame in Reims to be a lot better! We decided to walk around the town seeing as though it was fairly early! Everything in Paris is so pretty. There were lovely big buildings and fountains surrounding the river running through the town! We stopped in to a little store and grabbed some dinner. I had a yummy chicken, tomato and cheese crepe! We took it to the square and sat down and ate while we people watched - true Parisians! :) We did see some very interesting people - either we were in the oxford Street of Paris or there was something relating to homosexuals happening! We saw lots of leather, chains, inappropriate clothing and males in short, shorts! After dinner when we were walking back we were waiting at the traffic lights and Paddy our driver on tour pulled up beside us on the start of his next tour! It was so exciting although it made me miss everyone! After that little bit of excited we headed back to our hotel and rested up for our big day tomorrow!! :)
