So all day yesterday was spent driving from London to Paris. By the ferry in Dover, we got to see the white cliffs which was pretty sweet! Also had a legit English breakfast on the ferry which apparently is massive compared to everyone else's standards but it just reminds me of going from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia haha. Then we setup camp in Paris which was surprisingly close to the center of Paris.
Today included a tour around Paris on the bus where we got to see all of the sites like l'Arc de Triomphe and of course the Eiffel Tower. Our tour manager also told us some awesome stories like a square that was used to behead tons of people during the French Revolution and the smell of blood was so strong that horses wouldn't even enter. We also went to Versailles to see the huge palace and grounds there which were massive, gold, and super symmetrical. Got to sample fome escargots and champagne as well.
Currently writing this message on the Champs Élysées in a McDonalds (haha seriously these are Everywhere!). getting tons of awesome pictures that I promise to share when I get back. Going to a legit Parisian dinner tonight and a cabaret show. Tomorrow will be an on our own adventure around that plan to include the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the catacombs in!
Until next time!!
Sounds like it's what you had hoped it would be..love you
