After a good night's sleep, we are all feeling human again and ready to take on the streets of Paris once more.
Tears, hugs and kisses as we left on the bus turned into excitement, wonder and awe as we arrived in the City of Lights early yesterday morning. It was a good thing that we could not check into our hotel rooms when we arrived as it meant that we had to stay on the run and tackle the fatigue in order to see as much as we can in the little time we have.
The Metro is an absolutely amazing service available in Paris. Tunnels and staircases in every direction is a confusion to begin with. It took most of yesterday to get our heads around the directions we needed to go and stops we needed to change at. A public transport system that needs to be seen to be believed.
We arrived at the Palace of Versailles to be met by thousands of fellow tourists hoping to get inside the golden gates to see the beautiful gardens and rooms of the Palace. Unfortunately, we were not to have time to waste over two hours in line and had to take our pictures from outside the gates. This was disappointing but it meant that we could see more of Paris.
This blog entry will be continued tonight and many photos of our first two days will be added so stay tuned!
Love from Paris!
