23/10 - 28/10 Paris, France


France is probably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, filled with the rudest people, there are crepe stores on every street corner and just as many con artists. The landmarks are as magnificent as the baguettes and croissants, the night life is lively and the city is built on the love of hopeless romantics.

Day 1 - Check in late, dump our bags and walked our way to the Sacre Cour, we ran from cons and climbed the stairs to the top for a 360 degree view of Paris sparkling at night. From here we went to the Moulin Rouge and explored the colorful red light district.

Day 2 - Early wake ups to change hostels, rude encounters with the french and a hop on hop off bus tour booked. We went to the Arc De Triomphe, Norte Dame, The Eiffel Tower and did a sight seeing tour of Paris. After a big day of being tourists we got a feed and hit the hay at the famous St. Christopher's inn.

Day 3 - Changing hostels, crepes on the run and a visit to The Louvre to get cultured and see some of the most well known artworks in the world - including the Mona Lisa! For dinner we're off to african.

Day 4 - Late wake ups, free breakfast and a visit to Jim Morrison's grave to give some flowers and respect to one of musics greatest. On our way back
we stopped by to visit the grave of Oscar Wild before running home in the rain!

Day 5 - Free breakfast and a trek in the almost sub-zero Paris weather to buy our boyfriends Love Locks to hang on the infamous love lock bridge - made famous by the thousands of love birds wanting to leave their locks of love forever in the heart of Paris. For a late dinner we went to the Cafe Des 2 Moulins, the same cafe Amelie was filmed and made famous in!

Paris was an amazing city very worthy of experiencing but for now we're off to London town!
