Paris part II

So this is part II of my trip to Paris
here is part one.

Day 4;
Today was the longest day we had.
We had to get up at 7:15 A.M. and get ready.
First we went to Musée du Louvre which was kind of boring but fascinating.
After that we went to Cité des Sciences et de l'industrie.
There they had a lot of simulations; you could 'ride' an airplane for example.
That was pretty cool.
After that we went to the Eiffel Tower.
omygod I saw it and I just fell in love.
It was too bad that it had started raining but still, it was amazing! So beautiful.
We were supposed to go in the Eiffel Tower, but when we arrived there they were closed.
So that sucked really hard.
But at least I saw the Eiffel Tower.
The outside of the Louvre
 Every hour the Eiffel Tower lightens up with flickery lights.
 A beautiful lighted building.
Day 5;
The final already arrived..
We got up an hour later than the other days, because we had to leave the hotel as late as possible.
Because our train was leaving at 15.25 P.M.
So until then we had to walk through Paris with our suitcases.
Which were really heavy haha.
After we had left the hotel we went to la Défense.
But of course with our luck, the damn thing was also closed.
So we just went shopping haha.
Our teachers sat in the Mac Donald’s with all of our suitcases.
But as we were waiting for a few people of our group.
One guy from our group got in a 'fight' with a girl.
He just pushed her and started yelling at her, because he didn't like the way she looked at him.
I was like 'ehh, ok act normal you're in another country'.
But it worked out good and a few people went to her and apologized for his behavior.

When we finally were in the thalys to snowy Holland again,
We had a delay of 1 hour, and the other trains had a delay too.
Our group with all the suitcases haha.
 On our way to the metro.

So even though a lot of things went wrong I enjoyed Paris.
I highly recommend it for you to go there.
It is a beautiful city and if you just blend in and not be the tourist,
the people will be nice to you.

Paris part I

Wow, so I'm back from Paris.
It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
The people, the city, the culture, I just loved it all.
I'm gonna give a 'report' with pictures from all the things that we did.
And of course the stuff I bought.
Prepare yourself for a long post (:

Day 1.
We had to take the train to Rotterdam really early, the train left 6.52 A.M.
When we arrived in Paris at 12.35 we got to our hotel, packed out our stuff
and got ready to go to the Champs-Élysées and we saw the Arc-de-Triomphe.
Day 1 was really tough because we had to do a lot of traveling and walking.

Picture in the Thalys with my friend Inge.

Day 2.
We woke up early and after getting ready we went to Musée Rodin which was kind of boring, after that we went to the Opéra, that was really breath-taking so beautiful.
I highly recommend going there when you're in Paris.
In the evening we went to Montmartre and we stood on a place where we could see whole Paris.
But of course my battery was out when we were there so I had to take pictures with someone else's camera.

The Opéra
With my friends.
Beautiful ballerina-dress.
Breath-taking view. -picture was not made with my camera

Day 3.
On Wednesday we visited Versailles which was beautiful but after you've seen the Opéra you find Versailles nothing.
After that we went to the Pompidou, and the Musée National d'Art Moderne. and we did some shopping.
We also went to the Notre Dame, but when we were there it was closed..
So we got to our hotel early because day 4 was going to be a long day so we had to rest out a bit.

This was part 1 from my 5 days in Paris.
Stay tuned for the rest.

Back to basic.

1st. I'm really sorry for the bad quality;
I didn't have any time to make proper pictures
2nd. I know this outfit isn't much haha, but since I'm packing my stuff and I have to go back and forth between the city, friends, home and more this is the easiest outfit to wear.
3rd. I found this really cute lipstick-holder box thing.
I only have one favorite lipstick - which I'm wearing right now.
So the box comes really handy.
4th. All the snow that has fallen down already disappeared,
even the sun was shining today.
5th. In the last picture you can see my suitcase for Paris baby.
I'm leaving tomorrow, so next week I won't be updating.

Unfortunately I can't wear any heels in Paris; because we're going to all these museums and more (I'm going with school). But I can manage to walk on my beloved wedges all day, so they're already packed in my suitcase - as you can see.
But when I'm back I will show you all (or just the nice and pretty ones) pictures.
And hopefully my new buys.
So I guess I'll talk to you again in a week.
