This morning started at a traditional French Parfumery with a demonstration and then allowed to buy perfumes. Cheap from here might I add, so got Mum and I two Parfum's. For the rest of the day I could smell these on me when ever I looked at my watch or took a photo. Really good perfumes I must say.
After this we had some fun photos infront of the Eiffel Tower, and then a professional photographer came to take a group photo. He was half an hour late so put me back for the day. Because of this, when we got up the Eiffel Tower, I just went to the second floor and not the third to save time. The views were stunning (again) and the sky was starting to clear.
Now started my wondering around Paris. I first went to Michael Chaudin Chocolates. He makes really cool items out of chocolate, like a hair dryer and jewelery box. Next I strolled along, taking photos. Made it to Laduree Macaroons which were DELICIOUS! They were the best macaroons I've ever had! I got Vanilla, Caramel with Salted Butter, Lemon, Chocolate Pure Origin from Santo-Domingo, Raspberry (the best one) and Green Apple.
Next I had another delicious French lunch (they know how to do food). I wanted to go to Opera Garnier but it was closed. This is the Opera House where Phantom of the Opera was filmed. There was a good band playing outside though, so I listened to them for a bit before heading on.
Now it was time to go back to the Hotel and get ready for Moulin Rouge!!! This show was amazing! The costumes were stunning, food was good, and there were a couple of acts that were incredible. There was a man that I'd say was made of muscle, nothing else, and he did a headstand on a vase! His spine was completely straight. The other great act was by three acrobatic guys with the storyline of two theives and a sherif. Loved it. Loved after also. We went next door to O'Sullivans for drinking and dancing and all sorts of fun!
It was sad to leave the group the next day, but on the drive to London we saw a Concord :) I'm so glad I decided to do this Contiki trip with Myfy. It was amazing, incredible and just what I was after. A true whirlwind trip of Europe with the best memories.
Key words: strudel, Derek, gelato, Gangnam style, (cant remember the others now sadly)
