Day 3 in Paris, Europe - Effiel, Lourve

After checking out the hotel, we proceed to have lunch, and then to visit the famous Eiffel Tower. But as soon as we snap the first picture, the rain came down hard on us, with strong wind, under the romantic eiffel tower

The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl]) is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. It was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair,
Thank God, after 20-30 min, the rain stopped and it became sunny, which was perfect for photo-taking !
 Recommend by friend to the river cruise tour, about 1 hr. And due to shortage of time, It was the best to visit Paris as it is.......


 After the tour, I went back to G.L to do last minute shopping of LV and Prada....  And then walked to see the famous Lorve.....(about 20min walk)






The Lourve









After the lourve, it was time to head back to the hotel area, had some quick dinner and then to say goodbye.. and Leave Paris for Amsterdam !



It was a short 3 days in Paris, but we knew we are gonna return back to Paris before we good, and after we visit, we are sure to return longer the next time ! I guess, even for 2 weeks, it will be too short for Paris !


After carrying the luggage up and down the flights of stairs 3-4 time,, we finally reach the bus station to depart for Amsterdam.... 7 1/2 hours bus ride, Good luck to us....


 Internet stated that they have a toilet inside the bus which is not true !

Day 2 in Paris - Notre Dame


View of beautiful Paris

Day 2 - Is a bright sunny Sunday, the weather is perfect, everything was slow, and people busking on the street made Paris even more romantic


                                               Visiting some tourist site of Paris


                                                                Notre Dame




Finally, some quality shopping time !
Take the RER towards disneyland direction, stop at Val D'Europe and walk about 10 minutes.

                                               Sunday shopping at La Vallee Village


The trip is definitely worth it..... We reach about 1300++ and only left at 1900 hrs when it closes !

Our shopping stuffs just from the factory outlet , of course, most of it are not ours !
