Day 5- Shopping at Champs-Elysees

THURSDAY 15TH JANUARY
PARIS ET ARRAS, +6 AND SUNNY!

Last day in Paris- nooo!! But it was a gorgeous last day so that makes up for it I guess. Sunny, warm (for Paris in winter anyway) and we got to spend the morning doing whatever we wanted- soo lovely J Me, Gem, Lisa, Amma, Alex, Mikey, Sam and Jai took the bus – by ourselves- to the Champs- Elysees for some shopping. Felt incredibly mature walking around Paris by ourselves, so exciting to think that one day hopefully it will be even more independent traveling!! Got the most amazingggg shoots (that’s shoe-boots) and for only 30 euros! They’re black suede ankle boots with about a 2-3 inch heel- very very happy with them. Also bought some presents- yay! We then caught the bus back to the area near the hotel and did some tacky tourist shopping, got more presents yay again! Finally got on the train at Gare du Nord after waiting for a few hours. We spent a bit of time at a Maccas across the road where I got an AMAZING burger- Royal Deluxe. Soooo good J

40 min train ride speeding through the countryside- beautiful scenery but didn’t manage to get any photos sadly. And then we arrived in Arras! Looked out the window and saw Cami and Eulalie’s waving madly at us with big smiles on their faces. All my nerves flew out the window, it was so good to see them again!! Camille’s mother and brother and sister came to the station and we drove to their house- about 10mins from Arras. Their house is very nice on the inside, not to sure what it looks like on the outside- it’s been dark ok?!- Cami told me that they renovated the room just for me! Very nice of them I thought. Her family are all lovely, also met her Dad- Didier and he is very nice. For dinner we had Mexican- burritos with a curry type thing in it, it was very yummy. Got to sleep at 10pm, very tired- France takes it out of me. Au revoir!
