Excited at the sight of Eiffel Tower.
We took super a lot of photos with the Paris icon
DAY SIX
Went for Paris free tour. It's not exactly free, you have to tip the tour guide. It's really interesting cause it allows you to understand more about the history and culture of the place.
Exquisite chocolates at the most expensive street in Paris.
Second most expensive street. Champs Elysées.
Louis Vuitton
They sell everything here. Cars, Branded clothes, Jewellery, Cosmetics, etc.
French macaron. Chocolate flavour. Forgot to take picture of the shop. All the pastries looks super nice.
Grab a quick bite at QUICK.
Arc De Triomphe. In the Middle of the world's biggest roundabout.
There is a rule that all the buildings in Paris cannot be more than 7 storey high as not to block the Arc De Triomphe.
You can see three Arcs in Paris: the small Arc in front of the Louvre, Arc de la Defense, the Champs Elysées Arc
DAY SEVEN
Quiche. Salty and yummy! Unlike what we have in Singapore.
Louvre Museum. The number of people there was crazy.
There were countless paintings all over. As the tour guide said, if you just spend one min looking at each painting, it will take weeks just to finish all the paintings.
I love the picture below
The famous Mona Lisa. We weren't even suppose to be too near to the painting.
Paintings on the ceiling
Packed our bags and we were on our way to a ulu place. Near the airport.
Spend a few hours at a small transist hotel as our flight was really early 4am or so. Survived on bread and mineral water from the petrol station coz there is nothing there. It's like a industrial park.
Off to Rome
