A few Paris pics :)

I did promise, so here you go! These pictures by the way are from my suprise trip to Paris for ny 21st birthday. I miss it already, and would love to go back soon.

So, we arrived in Paris Beaumont Airport after flying from Liverpool John Lennon. As it was my birthday, I wanted to do something memorable for it. We were very tired, so had a sleep first, then at about half 5 we took the metro to near the Eiffel Tower. It was amazing, and we just got there in time to see the lights flashing on the hour.


On the second day we did the Louvre, the Champs Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe. It was all fantastic! Such a long day though and we were both so tired and our legs were sore! It was lovely though, because it was Valentines Day, so everyone was looking so happy and holding hands. This is the Paris I think everyone imagines :)


On the final day we intended to go the Lafayette shopping centre, but it was Sunday, so it was closed! We looked on a map and decided to go to Notre Dame instead.


Then we got the Eurostar back to Ashford International on Sunday afternoon and it was a great way to travel! It was quiet, extremely quick and comfortable too. Will definitely be doing that again.


So that concludes my brief Paris story! Now, I am not well and very tired...probably still recovering from walking down the Champs Elysees!

Bonsoir.

It's been a week!

I haven't blogged for a week now, and the reason for that is I am only just settling back into daily life after being whooshed off to Paris to celebrate my 21st birthday.

On Thursday 12th February (the day before my birthday!) I was told to pack my stuff, we were going to Paris for the weekend. My boyfriend had arranged everything!

So anyway, stay tuned to see a few pictures and an account of how I found the romantic city. I'm still coming down from the excitement, so every day life has not been resumed...I'm putting it off! That's why I'm being so lazy this week :)

Also, my boyfriend bought me a book that he had designed himself. It is a fantastic keepsake present. Take a look here: Lucy Woolford: The Story So Far
