Dag 43
Paris!
3 maj 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
We started at the airport in Costa Rica on May 2nd at 11:00am and touched down in Paris on May 3rd at 5:00pm. Taking out the 8 hr time change, we traveled 22 hrs to get here. It was definitely tiring, but also so exciting.

We’re staying in our first official hostel - no private room this time. 8 bed dorm bunks with privacy screens - actually very nice set up. Some won’t allow me to stay, if it’s a “party hostel” — no one over 35 yrs old. But many do.

So we arrived, took the metro to the hostel, dropped everything and headed to where else but the Eiffel Tower for the first night! So amazing! Can’t wait to see all the history and sites. It doesn’t get dark here until 9:00 so lots of time to explore every day.Läs mer

Dag 20
Eiffel Tower
29 juni 2023, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
It was an early start today. We headed to Kings Cross Station and caught the Eurostar to Paris in preparation for our trip to Disneyland.

The first thing we decided to do was visit the Eiffel Tower. We wanted to go up the tower, but of course the tickets for the lift up the tower sold out months ago, so it looks like we have a few steps to climb instead. 674 of them to be exact.

Dani is not a big fan of heights, so she stayed at ground level with plans to seek out a gluten free bakery she had spotted on Google (more on that later). The rest of us, including the Pearce's, headed for the stairs.

Everyone did a great job on the climb up the stairs even the little ones. However the number of people at the top made things a little unpleasant, especially given that it was quite a warm and humid day. We spent a bit of time enjoying the view and then made our way back down to meet Dani.

Verdict: it was a fun and worthwhile experience, but the views OF the Eiffel Tower from the ground are probably than the views FROM the Eiffel Tower.Läs mer

Arrived at Hotel Room
8 juni 2022, Frankrike ⋅ 🌧 66 °F
We arrived at the hotel, talked to the Monograms (tour guide) people about our guided tours, and are sitting in our very futuristic-looking hotel room.

Dag 13
Sunset cruise on the Seine
15 april 2023, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Full of escargots, we walked past the Eiffel tower, crossed the street and descended the steps to the river cruise dock where we caught the 8:00 pm boat. Sunset was slated for 8:40 pm, so the timing was perfect.
We sailed past bridges and iconic buildings as our day turned into evening and the scenery was bathed in hues of pink and orange before slipping into darkness. Lights started twinkling on either side of the river and the boats themselves became ornaments on a shimmering ribbon of water.
Of course, the brightest star in the sky was the golden Eiffel tower who shone like a beacon in the night, calling to us like the sirens to the sailors of old. She cast out her blue search light inviting us to come be her guest and to put her service to the test. I could picture this tower singing just like animated furniture and dishes did in "Beauty and the Beast".
I think the romanticism of Paris is rubbing off on me!Läs mer

Dag 13
Escargot anyone?
15 april 2023, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
After a day of sightseeing, we returned to our hotel for our next Gate 1 tour orientation meeting. Our new tour director is Simeon, a Frenchman from the south of France. We have 28 people on this part of our trip and they're all American. We briefly introduced each other and got a quick overview of our next two weeks. Simeon gave us tickets to the boat cruise on the Seine and sent us off on our own to see Paris.
We joined with our friends and decided to have supper together before heading to the boat since we wanted to sail during sunset. So we found a restaurant close to the Eiffel tower and sampled escargot and a pepperoni pizza.
The escargots were served traditional style which means they're still in their shells. Using a type of tongs to hold the escargot shell, a tiny two pronged fork is used to find the meat and pry it out. The snails were cooked in butter and garlic and were good, but had a slight fishy or swampy taste.
So today, we had waffles, crepes and now escargots. That's pretty authentic Parisian culture!Läs mer

Turbulente Fahrt zum Bahnhof
29 september 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Und ratet mal wer die letzte Bahn nicht bekommen hat. Der Taxifahrer war so nett und hat mir geholfen Oettis Wagen und den restlichen Krempel über das Tor vom Campingplatz zu beförden, da der Eingangscode natürlich sicher im Womo verstaut war.Läs mer

Resenär I’m so happy for y’all!! I hope the jet lag is manageable? And y’all are being gentle with yourselves that way?

Resenär Surprisingly, not struggling too much with the jet lag. We barely slept on the plane, so it was EASY to go to sleep last night.
