Last Day in Paris


Bon Soir !


Our last day in Paris was def. an eventful one! We got lost - again! On the RER. The thing is, you think you're on the right track but they veer like 4 ways then veer again another 2 ways so it's frustrating to find your way because you think you're going in the right direction then it'll change on you!


We left our hotel around 9:30 and didn't make it to Versailles until after 1pm! Ridiculous! ahahaha But it was a place to see! I still canot wrap my head around the size of the place! Standing on the steps looking out to the gardens it is gorgeous and huge! As far deep as the eyes can see. Marie Antoinette had her own house off the gardens. It was just excessively huge, but such a sight! We were trying to discuss what it would have been like back then living in such a grand palace and we really have no comprehension of the times and what it would have been like. The only thing I have to say though, is if they could afford such a lavish lifestyle, why did they not invest more in personal hygene !?


We took our usual afternoon rest and came back to the hotel for a bit before heading out again to meet some of Mario's friends (Tom and Kim from DRED) for dinner and onto the Eiffel Tower. For our last meal, we enjoyed some delicious nutella, bananna, whipped cream crepes ! Trying to take in all the Parisian food traditions :)

We went to the Tower one last time tonight and saw it sparkle from a mile away. It was simply breath taking once again and we just stood there and appreciated what was in front of us. I couldn't have been more content inside! It is just such an overwhelming experience but in the best way to visit places like this. I am truly happy with my experiences with Paris and would recommend it :)


We are leaving for Nice in the morning. I am looking forward to that little day trip! After that, onto San Remo!!!


love you and miss you.
