Paris and London 2014 (Day 1 & 2)
And so this long awaited (really didn't feel all that much excitement on this trip actually, too many other stuff going on) trip finally materialised.
I've been telling my friend that we should go to West End to watch musicals and we are FINALLY doing it!!
Finding accommodation has been challenging because there are 3 of us.. so it's a little hard to find places that have 3 proper beds for us. However, we managed to book accomodations.
Our flight to Paris involved a transit in KL. I hate the internet connection in KL because it's so iffy. Also caused me to miss Eat Sleep Knit's Black Friday sales. ANNOYED.
We took SQ to KL, and from KL we took Air France to Paris. We arrived the following morning at around 0600 hrs. Way too early to check in at our accomodation and I was having problems trying to contact the host as well since my mobile data connection wasn't working on my portable wifi. I had to be opportunistic and used free wifi. Also, after my first sms sent to the host, I could not send any more SMSes... annoying. But no choice so we had to rough it out a bit. We were slacking in the airport till about 8 am, then we proceeded into the city and walked around the area where we were going to stay. Up and down and all around, since we had a few hours to kill. We spent some time munching on goodies at Paul's, then dicovered a Mac's and ate there (Chicken, Bacon and Fried Onions!)
We also went to the Gardens of Luxembourg, which is right by the Palace of Luxembourg. It's not as Charlottenburg but then again there are many more palaces that I have yet to see. We just spent some time there chilling out... watching the miniature horse (or pony maybe) take the children on rides.
We finally managed to check in to our accomodation at around 1610hrs. It's up these set of winding stairs. And I mean plural because these stairs aren't even connected to each other. I expected stairs but truth be told these stairs really posed a challenge to those who bring oversized luggages. Luckily I managed to bring my luggage up safe and sound and silently. We just felt like we had to be silent.
After checking in, we went to get groceries and dinner.
Tomorrow, we attend the Final Fantasy Concert!
