Day 2- Mona Lisa

MONDAY 12TH JANUARY

PARIS, +4

Woke up at 7.30am, still completely dark outside, and was until after 8am. Had breakfast downstairs- croissants, mini baguettes and reaaaaaally good hot chocolate. We sat there looking out the window at all the little kiddies going to school- haha sucks to be them!! Then we headed off to the Louvre on the bus. Fairly boring actually but we did see the Mona Lisa and other ridiculously large paintings. Got very close to the Mona Lisa, closer than I thought we would J After that we ate baguettes in Le Jardin des Tuilleries, and found a carousel! Felt super movie-star-like as we rode an old carousel in a park covered in snow in PARIS!! Then we walked downs the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe and went to the top of that. Stunning views, could see so much of Paris, and was actually quite surprised to see that there is a Paris CBD with skyscrapers and stuff- kinda ruins the atmosphere though. Took the metro back to the hotel, then we headed to an internet café where I spent ½ an hour with a frustrating French keyboard- that’s why I haven’t uploaded anything until now sorry. Sooo annoying, and very slow. LOVEEEE
