Paris & London

Helllo! Sorry it's been a while!

 I have been confused as to what to blog about so please leave some suggestions in the comments!

 Back in July, I hopped on a jet with my Aunt and flew halfway across the world to Paris. After a 10 hour flight I was exhausted, but the city seemed to bring some life back into me. On our first day we took a bike tour. It was a great way to get to know the city and the tour guides were very knowledgeable. Check them out at: http://www.bikeabouttours.com/.

Paris was very different to what I am used to here in Canada. The people, the architecture, the culture, everything! Luckily enough, I can speak French, a little bit, so it was much easier for me to communicate with the people there. My favourite sights were Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, of course! What an amazing view from the top! The River Seine, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Jardins des Tulleries.

Paris was filled with many delights! Some of my favourites were Nutellea crepes and macarons from Laduree and Pierre Herme.

Since I had no idea when I'd be back in Europe, my Aunt and I used the Eurostar train service to go to London for the day. The train ride was only about two hours long and we saw some amazing countryside. We arrived at the St.Pancras station which is right beside Kings Cross so I ran in to go get my picture with the Platform 9 & 3/4 sign from Harry Potter. Whilst in London we did a tour on a double decker bus. We saw sights such as Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye, which was amazing and I highly recommend it! There was one last thing on the list that I couldn't leave London without doing and that was of course, visiting Topshop.

When we returned to Paris that evening, we only had one day left. One thing I have always dreamed of having was a Louis Vuitton. Why not stop by the flagship store on the Champs Elysees and make that purchase. It was a great experience, with no line to get into the store as there is a lot of the time. I was helped almost immediately and I am now the proud owner of a Louis Vuitton Pochette, from Paris! What a souvenir.

Well Paris, you were a dream. I left my heart with you so be sure to take good care of it until I return. The memories I have made will remain some of the best and I am already looking forward for my next trip, but hey, who know's when that'll be...sooner than later I hope!

Until next time, au revoir mes amis! Je t'aime!
